Located at the end of tightly held William Court, on the outskirts of Marlo, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home sits on just over five acres of land. The home is conveniently positioned to the front of the triangular shaped block and features verandas on three sides.
At the entry to the home there is a double carport and huge lock up garage with double roller doors, one being electric. The garage also features its very own powder room. There are three large bedrooms, two with built in robes and the master with walk in robe and ensuite. The fourth bedroom has been utilised as a study, but with the removal of a desk and shelving the room this would suit a king-single bed or a set of bunks, perfect for children or that unexpected guest!
The open plan living and dining area is located to the northern end of the home and, along with the veranda, has been designed to take advantage of the views over the lower reaches of the property and to the neighbouring properties. The veranda further extends the living area of the home and would be a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a cool drink in the evening. The lounge features split system air conditioning and a slow combustion wood heater to help keep the temperature comfortable all year round. A kitchen with excellent storage, breakfast bar and space for the widest of fridges is perfect for the Master Chef in the family. A generous laundry sits alongside the kitchen which has an adjoining family bathroom complete with separate bath and shower.
What home on acreage would be complete without a shed? A massive 18 x 9m (approx.) high-roof shed with dual access has a concrete floor and three-phase power, perfect for the home handyman or tradesperson that needs to run commercial equipment or machinery. A roof mounted, grid connected solar array is installed on the shed roof and will help keep those power bills low. Mains water is connected to the property whilst there is Telstra Mobile coverage and the NBN is available via fixed wireless technology.
There is an open front double carport below the main shed and alongside is an older Caravan with annexe, a great space to accommodate additional guests. A smaller storage shed below the home provide additional undercover storge. To the south-eastern end of the property is a former vineyard with a lot of infrastructure still in place. This space could be re-imagined for a variety of horticultural pursuits. There's also plenty of room for a horse or two with the addition of some internal fencing.
The new Sailors Grave Dunetown Brewery is located just down the road whilst it's only a short stroll and you can link up with the Snowy River Coastal Walk which provides access to Mots Beach, an unspoilt surf beach near where the estuary meets the sea. Take the fishing rod and throw a line in the estuary for Bream or Flathead or fish the surf beaches for Salmon, Tailor and Gummy Shark. Depending on the prevailing wind direction, the rumbling of the surf can even be heard in the distance.
Marlo is perfect for water sports. The children will enjoy swimming in the estuary or a dip at one of the nearby surf beaches. Alternatively drop the boat or jet-ski in at one of the many local boat ramps for a bit of fishing, exploring, water-skiing or wakeboarding. You can even launch the big boat at the newly renovated Cape Conran boat ramp and head offshore to fish for a variety of deep-water species. For those that enjoy getting out and about on foot or by bike, there are plenty of great tracks and unspoilt beaches to explore.
Marlo has its own primary school whilst Orbost is around a fifteen-minute drive where there is a P-12 College, two supermarkets, hospital, medical services and a variety of specialty shops. The major rural hub of Bairnsdale is a little over an hour away where there are all the major supermarkets, Bunnings, Kmart, Dan Murphys and a host of other specialty stores and industrial services.
