'Fairburn Grange' - a Dookie lifestyle awaits
This idyllic rural lifestyle property of 24 acres is a unique combination of a wonderful country home, famous Dookie soils and a big farm feel.
The historically significant residence has origins dating back to 1880 as a modest double brick cottage of the era. The first extension in the 1960s provided the country kitchen, bathroom and lounge, then the 1990s extension took the home to a new level of size and space, adding the amazing lounge opening on to the wide veranda, then on to the inground swimming pool, plus the upstairs loft bedroom. The design and fixtures complement the home's origin effectively with polished floorboards, high ceilings, and wooden door frames and windows.
The home is air conditioned throughout, complimented by solid a solid fuel wood heater in the dining room and a gas log fire in the family room. The country kitchen is homely and spacious, equipped with a modern Falcon 900mm upright stove, timber surfaces and heritage sink. The bathroom features the claw-foot cast iron bath and complimentary fittings. The spacious master bedroom faces east for those glorious morning sunrises and has a large walk-in robe.
It's the family room that is perfect for gatherings small or large, formal or informal, spilling out through the French doors to veranda and inground pool beyond. The veranda is generously wide, suitable for a large table and occasional furniture and is equipped with a built in barbecue, sink and bar fridge at one end.
However it's the outdoors that tells you you're in Dookie. The red soil, the undulation, the view to the neighbours abundant wheat and canola crops sets the location apart. A hint to the properties previous life is the two-stand shearing shed.
The farm layout is efficient and well fenced with drink troughs to the four paddocks - ideal for horses, cattle or a couple of family pets.
Well located a couple of minutes from Dookie and 25 minutes from both Benalla and Shepparton, the property will attract buyers looking for a welcoming country residence and a rural lifestyle opportunity.
