375 Mount Stowe Road

If you've been looking for space to breathe, room for the toys and water security to match, this 92-acre property at West Stowe delivers, with 1.3km of frontage to the tidal Calliope River and your own boat ramp. The Home Set high on its allotment, the 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home takes in sweeping views over the surrounding bushland and river country, with filtered water views from the sunroom.

The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright and airy, with timber-look flooring, a central island with LED feature lighting, a freestanding range cooker, skylights and ceiling fans. A Norseman wood heater keeps the cooler months cosy, and a second living space opens off the main living area through sliding doors. The enclosed sunroom, wrapped in glass and looking out over the lawn towards the river, makes a superb retreat, rumpus or home office.

The master bedroom is generous and light-filled, with a bay of windows looking out to the bush, split-system air-conditioning, a ceiling fan and a built-in wardrobe. It has its own ensuite with a shower, timber vanity and heat lamps. The two additional bedrooms are well sized, each with a ceiling fan and mirrored built-in robe, and one has split-system air-conditioning. The main bathroom offers a separate bath and shower, perfect for soaking after a big day on the land or on the water.

The home is serviced by a traditional septic system with macerator. The wide hardwood verandah wraps around the home and is made for entertaining, with cable balustrading and plenty of room to spread out. At one end sits a purpose-built brick BBQ and wood-fired oven with a concrete patio, ready for weekend feasts with family and friends. At the other end, an uninterrupted outlook down the Calliope River makes a magnificent spot to unwind and watch the world go by. The water is the standout here.

With 1.3km of frontage to the tidal Calliope River and a tidal boat ramp on the property, the river is right on your doorstep. Launch the boat, wet a line, take the kayak out on the tide or simply soak up the wildlife from the bank. Private river access like this is a rare offering and sets this property well apart. The land is well set up for livestock and hobby farming.

The property is divided into five fully fenced paddocks, all in good condition, the largest of which is a generous 60 acres. Multiple smaller paddocks and yards around the house are ideal for horses, calves or rotational grazing. The 92 acres is a mix of cleared, usable paddock and natural bushland, and fire breaks have been cut throughout the property, making it easy to get around and to maintain.

Vegetation mapping shows the majority of the property as non-regulated (white) land, with areas of high value regrowth and remnant vegetation towards the front of the block. For the keen gardener and those who love fresh produce, there is an established orchard irrigated from the dam, along with raised garden beds already in place. The established plantings and large cleared yard around the home make the setting easy to look after. When it comes to sheds, this property has you well covered.

The 20m x 9m shed has 5 bays, all with 3.6m clearance, so there's room for machinery, caravans, boats, trucks and workshop space. Alongside it, a 15m x 7m double-bay shed with an extended carport provides even more storage and cover. Water security is where this property really shines. Fresh water storage includes three 5,500-gallon tanks and two 8,500-gallon tanks, a total of 33,500 gallons on hand. A further 5,500-gallon tank holds bore and dam water, and a valve at the main dam lets you direct the supply as needed.

The established bore is 27m deep with a flow rate of 0.20 litres per second, a dependable second source on top of the three dams across the property. The main dam is also solar pumped up to the house for a reliable, low-cost supply. Properties that combine this much river frontage, shedding, water security and usable land are seldom offered, and this one is set up to be enjoyed from day one.

Whether you're running a few head of cattle, growing your own produce, launching the boat on the morning tide or simply unwinding on the verandah with the river in view, 375 Mount Stowe Road delivers a lifestyle that's hard to find.
