10ha of lifestyle freedom with iconic views set on an expansive 10-hectare block, this former farmhouse blends character, space and serious lifestyle appeal - all just minutes from the heart of Fairlie.

The home offers four bedrooms (one upstairs, three down), two living areas, two bathrooms and two toilets, plus a separate storage room - providing flexibility for families, guests or work-from-home options. Warmed by a large wood burner and insulated in the ceiling, the home also features a mix of aluminum and timber joinery, partial double glazing, and brand-new carpet throughout. The well-appointed kitchen comes complete with appliances included in the chattels, highlighted by a large new oven ready to handle family dinners or rural gatherings with ease.

Outside, the home is clad in classic weatherboard with a corrugated iron roof, perfectly suited to its rural setting. Step out from the living areas and take in breathtaking views across surrounding farmland to the stunning Two Thumb Range - a true Mackenzie backdrop. Water is supplied via a private scheme, with filtration in place ensuring excellent drinking quality. Infrastructure is a real strength here, with a large double garage plus an even bigger multipurpose shed offering outstanding storage or workshop options.
