THE DUTCH HOUSE - HOMESTEAD IN TOOLANGI

In Dutch, we have a word for cosy homes. Gezellig. A pinterest term that has now entered the mainstream. It means rich, warm and safe. And this property is its ideal representation.

This brick cottage is built to stand the test of time. If you have ever dreamed of homesteading: combustion stove, (free) groundwater bore, 1.5 acres north facing. Ideal for growing crops, and with enough room to build a second dwelling in the future.

This is your chance to unplug, while living only 15 from either Yarra Glen or Healesville, with bars, restaurants, shops and primary services. So, in the compromise that we all wish to have in this modern age, you get the best of both worlds: the old world charm we long for, without sacrificing the comforts of contemporary life. You start to understand why this property, with only 2 owners, has been so tightly held …

Toolangi is a patch of heaven, gently sinking away from the Melba Highway into the valley of the Yea River, whose waters fall from the slopes of Mount St Leonard, Tanglefoot and the Victoria Range. It is famous for its rich red-chocolate soil, a haven for bush walkers, game hunters, conservationists, and people of all stripes whose common code is a love of the bush, and a preference for peace and quiet in daily life.

The home comprises 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, lounge room and kitchen / dining. The third bedroom offers mezzanine / bunk and self-contained access as a potential separate unit. Additionally, there is a large mudroom, full laundry and secure services room for dry storage attached to the rear of the house. Single garage and carport provide 2 car accommodation. Telephone and mains power connected. It is very functional, and cosy to boot.

The home is of majority double brick construction and thermally very strong. In keeping with the homesteading theme, there is a double chimney in the heart of the home with an open fireplace on one side and combustion stove on the other (electric hot water connected).

Externally there is a concrete-based shed with ample room for storing hardware and machinery. From the back of the block you can enjoy a marvellous view of the Yea River valley.

The Dutch House is begging to be converted to short stay accommodation (Airbnb) or you could live in the cottage while building a larger dwelling in sight of the view. What are you waiting for? Text GEZELLIG to 0448 820 022
