Terip

Set within a tightly held district and offered to the market for the first time in 33 years, this exceptional country estate presents a rare opportunity to secure a highly productive rural holding combined with an elegant family residence and breathtaking established gardens. The property spans approximately 320 acres, offering a superb balance of improved grazing pasture and native woodland, highlighted by stands of mature eucalypts that provide shelter, beauty, and environmental value. At the heart of the estate sits a beautifully established four-bedroom homestead, privately positioned and framed by lush gardens and a striking ornamental lake. The master suite features a generous en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a stylishly renovated central bathroom. A light filled formal living and dining area forms the centrepiece of the home, with north-facing floor-to-ceiling windows and doors opening seamlessly onto a paved veranda and terraced garden surrounds. A modem country kitchen with quality appliances adjoin a casual dining space, complemented by a separate library or home office. Practical infrastructure is well catered for with a double garage, powered workshop, steel cattle yards, and a l5m x 6m machinery shed with concrete floor and power, plus an adjoining 9m x 6m powered shed with gravel base. Water security is a standout feature. The property is serviced by an automated bore supplying crystal clear drinking water to the house, cattle troughs and garden areas, three dams including a 15-megalitre ornamental lake, a spring-fed creek, and two 37,000-litre concrete tanks for domestic use. Grid electricity is supported by a 4.5kW solar system with battery storage, along with a 12kVA diesel backup generator providing a "no break" power supply. The gardens are truly exceptional, reflecting decades of dedication and care. Ornamental specimen trees include Lombardy poplars, claret ash, English oak, golden elm, weeping willow, and plum trees, creating a tranquil and visually stunning setting rarely found. A property of scale, beauty, and reliability-this is a remarkable rural lifestyle offering in a tightly held location. The current owners have an inner Melbourne home and journey time is just under two hours.
