Leave the world behind you in your rear vision mirror, as you enter into this picturesque, peaceful and very private world known as "Heathcote Oaks". As you amble along the lengthy driveway lined on both sides by towering hedges, you'll sense the intriguing journey-of-discovery that's before you. And as a kaleidoscope of blooms springs to life in the gardens, so does the promise of how well "Heathcote Oaks" will enhance and enrich your family's lifestyle.
This is a VERY unique property that can be utilised in so many ways ... almost 20 acres of fertile grounds that have been previously applied to flower and foliage farming. With a practical infrastructure already in place incorporating an extensive dam and water storage, 10 igloos, shade-house and saw-tooth greenhouse, acre+ with overhead sprinklers, huge machinery shedding and a fully self-contained 2-bedroom "worker's flat" (or office) - there's great scope to run a profitable business with all the necessaries ready and waiting for you!
OR ... you may decide to "kick back" a little ... pamper your horses or alpacas; spend your days appreciating the park-like gardens in the foreground of this character-rich timber home.
OR ... you may decide to "kick back" A LOT ... and do absolutely nothing but enjoy the sheer luxury of this visually-inspiring setting that's all about serenity that's so good for the soul!
There's also great potential to lease the growing areas, greenhouse and flat ... and enjoy the income while you sit back and relax.
The main residence of the property certainly champions the lifestyle-focus of Heathcote Oaks ... just as much a vibrant family-home, as it is a tranquil "city escape". A wonderful choice of 3 living rooms that take in the seasonal colours of the gardens and the awe of majestic Oak canopies; a humungous country-kitchen serving as the home's welcoming "hub"; 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms including a privately zoned upper-level master suite with its own balcony, lots of robes, full ensuite and adjoining parents' lounge-retreat or executive study.
For those who believe that the fresh air and freedom of a tree-change means living "in the back of beyond" ... should just take a look at this wonderful location that's only 10 minutes from Monbulk's diverse amenities, and STILL commutable to central Melbourne.
