Surprise awaits

Snuggled in the foothills of the Strzelecki ranges just six kilometres from the freeway, Branscombe Lodge can only be described as ‘serendipity’ – not what’s expected, but a pleasant surprise – according to the selling agents.

The agents said the home in Yarragon, was quaint and quirky, a great weekend retreat, great artists’ colony or alternative lifestyle haven that would delight all who inspect.
The property of about 35.6 hectares (88 acres) is about 40 per cent good clean pasture divided into five well-fenced paddocks with water to each, and the balance is bushland with a couple of dams and a seasonal creek.
There are two dwellings on the property, both unique.
The main residence comprises two bathrooms, a country-style kitchen with commercial appliances, a dining room, lounge room and upstairs a spacious bedroom.
Tables with umbrellas out on the deck give the impression that many good times have been had here and throughout the home.
The selling agents said the second abode was perfect as guest accommodation or even as a bed and breakfast and comprised one bedroom, a bathroom, a dining room and a lounge room with an open fireplace and a bar with all the trimmings, reminiscent of days gone by.
There is also a lovely long verandah, ideal for and enjoying refreshments while taking in the serenity.
Good shedding and cattle yards are added bonuses.
The agents said Branscombe Lodge was a superb property and with just a little cosmetic surgery could be brought back to her former glory.
The property is priced at $450,000.
