A Drysdale acreage which dates back to the 1800s and features a cottage which was renovated on a popular television program is on the market.
The residence at 173-195 Murradoc Road, which is set on around seven acres, comes with an asking price of $1.15 to $1.25 million.
The property, which served as a Cobb and Co stop during the 1800s, features equestrian facilities including a five-stable barn with an office, classroom and feedroom; a fenced area and round pen; a tack room; an indoor hot wash; an external cold wash; four undercover day yards; two holding yards; two yards with shelter; 10 paddocks; and automatic entrance gates, with large turning circle for floats and trailers.
Lee Martin from Bellarine Property said three-bedroom cottage located on the property was renovated on the television program Selling Houses Australia last year.
“They did an incredible job,” he said.
“The cottage, after the renovations, presents very well.”
The abode includes original stained glass windows and working fireplaces with bricks which were originally made in Drysdale.
Mr Martin said Bellarine Property had sold a lot of acreages so far this year, and that 173-195 Murradoc Road has had “an enormous amount of inspections”.
The property has also been viewed more than 30,000 times online.
Mr Martin said that some of the people who have inspected the site have considered using it for a wildlife or farm animal rehabilitation centre, while others have been interested in using cabins on the land as potential Airbnb accommodation.
Mr Martin said that quite a few people who have inspected the property, but only own one or two horses, have described the extensive facilities as “surplus to their needs”.
“It’s a very versatile property, it just needs the right person to come along,” he said.
“Seven acres is a very handy size for most buyers.”
Mr Martin said that the property, which is close to the town and schools, could also possibly become a hobby farm.
