45 Gardiners Road Barongarook

Secure your tree-change lifestyle with this charming rural home on one hectare (2.5 acres, approx.) on the fringe of the Otways.

Settle into the serenity of country living with greenery on show from almost every window, but with the convenience of the town of Colac just 10 minutes away and the beaches of Lorne less than 50 minutes’ drive.

The striking weatherboard home, nestled among mature trees on a large corner block, has been updated with a modern open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone with wood-burning heater that is a centrepiece for comfortable living.

The light and bright kitchen features a timber-top island bench, breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances and loads of storage options.

It conveniently overlooks the dining area and north-facing raised lounge for easy entertaining, with a light-filled sitting room providing a relaxing place to enjoy a book and coffee all year round.

Banks of windows help merge the indoor and outdoor living spaces, including an alfresco deck to entertain or for a leisurely breakfast on a sunny weekend.

Three downstairs bedrooms all have built-in robes, with the master featuring a bay window from which to take in the stunning vista.

The fourth bedroom, in the attic, is an expansive 7m x 6m (approx.) space with room for a desk and sofas too.

The property, accessed via a sweeping driveway, also has tank water, a dam, a mix of timber and tiled floors in high-traffic areas, exposed beams, quality central bathroom, huge laundry, split-system unit, garage with workshop, carport, storage sheds, roof storage and landscaped gardens.

There’s loads of room too for kids and pets to explore, and parking space for a caravan, boat or other vehicles.

The property enjoys easy access to Geelong and Melbourne via a dual highway.

Shops, schools, sport and medical facilities are all within easy reach in Colac, with the Otway Ranges on the doorstep.
