HORSES AT HOME ON 40 ACRES LOCATED on a quiet, no-through road, this secluded country oasis offers peace, privacy and an escape from it all. Wake up to pristine views of the Yarra Valley and the peaceful sounds of birds chirping every day. This equine heaven is within easy commuting distance of Pakenham, Lilydale and the nearby suburbs. It is a short distance to Gembrook which has several great restaurants and the recently re-opened pub. The horses will be cosy sleeping in a fully insulated, purpose-built American barn with four stables (4m x 4m), a large lock-up tack room and a feed room. There are multiple choices of riding destinations - whether riding on the fully fenced, Olympic-sized all-weather sand arena located just a short walk from the stable block, hack out along the beautiful riding trails of the Kirth Kiln National Park or take a leisurely ride through the mostly cleared 40 acres of property. With plenty of shedding the property also has a large machinery shed measuring 24m x 6m which has eight bays, five bays of which are fully enclosed and lockable and another shed which is currently used for wood storage. The property has several features that cater for a self-sustainable lifestyle. A 5kW solar system with battery storage can be used as a standalone or connected to the grid, keeping your power consumption to a minimum. Water will never be a problem with ample water available from four
PROPERTY OF THE WEEK
22,500-litre water tanks and a bore pump. A huge vegie garden as well as a number of fruit trees provides fresh produce all year. Cut your own hay. With 40 acres and ample shedding, there is plenty of land to allow you to cut your own hay for cows and horses. Finally, a new set of cattle yards with a vet crush and loading ramp allow you to have your own heard of cattle as well as horses. The residence is a three-bedroom, onebathroom log cabin home.

With a little imagination this home could be made larger, after all there are no restrictions on 40 acres.
