Call of the country Oh the bliss! Shake off those city hangups and de-stress at this retreat
STEPHEN TAYLOR PROPERTY EDITOR hen someone says: ‘Country living at its best’ there’s a chance they might be talking about picturesque ‘Dungullin’ at Glenburn, on the way to Mt Buller. It’s the ideal rural retreat with a cosy house, views from the verandah, lush paddocks and plenty of water storage. Who wouldn’t love a weekend away here? The outstanding rural holding is pleasantly situated down a no-through country road well away from the hustle and bustle. It’s divided into 12 main paddocks and two dams — one being a large 26 mega litres with a licence to pump. There’s excellent pasture, good fencing with cattle yards, a 20 metre x 9 metre four-bay shed and two other sheds all in excellent condition, as well as a chook run. The charming weatherboard homestead has three bedrooms, all with carpet and en suites,
W
and main bedroom with walk-in wardrobes. The timber kitchen has granite benches, gas hotplates, two electric ovens and a pantry. The open-plan living area is a standout with 4.2 metre stained timber ceilings and jarrah polished floors. Large windows overlook the paddocks. Walls and ceilings have full insulation, reverse-cycle airconditioning and wood heating. Wraparound verandahs add to the homestead flavour. There’s a separate studio or home office and well-established hedges and garden. The property has LPG gas, power and phone and 45,000-litre water tanks. So, pull up a chair and sit a spell; dust off the city stresses, take your time and let ‘Dungullin’ weave its country magic on you.
