Enveloped within stunning trees and absolutely picturesque paddocks, Murchison Glen Homestead could be the best kept 180 acre secret in Strath Creek.
The enduring family home, though set to the front of the land, remains hidden from view behind bordering trees. It boasts spectacular views of the scenic pastures from the large family room windows as it borrows the morning sun in all seasons; the double brick construction naturally able to regulate the home's familiar comfort year round. This home is reminiscent of a time gone by – wood lined ceilings, solid fuel heating, hardwood floors and windows adorned with lead light detailing. The spacious kitchen – the engine of the house - is flanked by both the dining area and living room, perfectly blending family time with function and space. The formal lounge room adjoins the dining area is removed by steps down to the room and gifted with the afternoon sun through the glass sliding doors out to one of the two verandas; the large master bedroom sits privately as a peaceful sanctuary to retire for the day.
Murchison Glen’s rich scenery creates an enigmatic ambience as the low lying clouds and enduring fog linger amongst the trees and orchards, sheds, paddocks, dams and the Queen Parrot Creek. The private lake set higher on the hill is found along one of the many natural roads; ideal for row-boat naps or the afternoon picnic with the family before walking back home along tranquil walking trails through the trees.
Murchison Glen Homestead is an exquisite, unique and multi-faceted property, combining a memorable charm with practical farm land of which can be taken full advantage – be it hobby farm or Bed and Breakfast. The opportunities for this homestead are varied and exciting. Located mere minutes from Strath Creek Township, 12 minutes to Broadford and the Hume Freeway on-ramp and only an hour north of Melbourne CBD, this property is a rare convenience.
Do not pass up the chance to view this remarkable home.
