Riverside retreat

Address: 229 Felton Drive, Murray Downs

Agent: Charlotte Broad, 0411 207 321

DRENCHED in sunlight and birdsong, this comfortable four-bedroom, two-bathroom homestead sits on about 120 acres of productive farmland.

Only a 15-minute drive from Swan Hill CBD in the tightly held Murray Downs, this property offers seclusion and convenience on fertile land.

While the land is the feature of this property, the home offers everything you need to raise a family with room to make it your own.

The established garden full of native blooms secludes the home from the road and tall trees provide shade in addition to the wrap-around veranda.

Three walls of large windows in the open-plan living and kitchen space stream sunlight in and allow for views of the garden and the canola field beyond to the west and across the paddocks to the woodlands that line the river to the east, connecting the home to the space around it.

The alfresco dining area makes for a dynamic, refreshing lifestyle, with the heated inground pool contributing to this being the perfect summer hosting venue.

With two reverse-cycle air conditioning units in the living room and primary bedroom perfectly placed to send cool air through the living areas and down to the bedrooms, as well as a solid woodfire heater, you can be assured of temperature control throughout the year.

The kitchen embodies the home’s sturdy, classic brick attitude, with an induction hotplate, a wall oven and a dishwasher and plenty of storage space.

The primary bedroom includes an ensuite and a walk-in-robe, leaving the main bathroom and separate toilet for the kids.

The current owners have ensured that the land is both productive and maintains ecological assets and biodiversity, keeping the landscape alive with more than 30 identified species of native birdlife, echidnas, goannas and more.

The integrated water management system that recycles water between paddock bays and provides storage with two dams makes the most of the two water licences allocated to the property via a 100hP diesel 12-inch pumping system.

Having previously generated both prime lamb and stud beef cattle revenues, the property includes extensive cattle yards, a crush and a loading ramp, as well as a work shed.

With everything you need to give your kids a magical childhood immersed in nature and run a productive farm, get in contact with Charlotte Broad on 0411 207 321 to make it your own.
