315 De Motts Road Anakie

Make a welcome family tree-change at this 5-acre (approx.) rural property with in-ground pool that’s just a half-hour drive from central Geelong.

Amid bushland boasting an array of fauna and birdlife and with its own dam, the sprawling split-level home is a perfect mix of country living and seclusion.

It features a timber kitchen and adjoining dining area with Coonara wood heater, large central living room, formal lounge or extra bedroom and a 9m-long undercover balcony on which to savour drinks at sunset.

A separate self-contained bungalow with kitchen, lounge, bedroom and ensuite is ideal as a guest getaway, teen retreat or work-from-home studio.

The home’s upper levels are the hub, with multiple living spaces, French doors leading to a pergola and alfresco area, a study, and master bedroom with built-in robe and its own access to the elevated deck, while three more bedrooms downstairs all have built-in robes.

Outside, the kids can spend summer in the 11m-long pool or have loads of space to run free with pets while you tend a vegie patch.

Other highlights include family bathroom with clawfoot bath, powder room, separate laundry, timber wall panelling, leadlight windows, split-system unit, ceiling fans, water tank, plus water supply from the dam, garage with workshop space, and extra parking for multiple vehicles.

The property is a few minutes’ drive to Anakie Primary School and within easy reach of Bannockburn College and private schools on Geelong’s northern reaches.

For nature lovers, nearby Anakie Gorge, the Brisbane Ranges National Park and the You Yangs offer weekend leisure options.

For commuters, it’s an easy drive to Geelong, with the freeway to Melbourne convenient too, as well as Avalon Airport.
