For some, lakefront living means a peaceful place to enjoy and connect with nature. For others, it means having immediate access to swimming, fishing and water sports. Whatever it means for you, you will find it here.

Located along the scenic shores of Lake Eppalock, this 75 acre property is a haven for water sport enthusiasts and naturalists alike. The most enviable attribute is the extensive water access, sharing over 450m frontage with the Whiskey Island Pool, a wide and clear portion of the lake where the neighbours enjoy boating, skiing and fishing year round.

From the home, follow the 4WD track to the water's edge where you will have ample room to launch your boat, fish or swim, or when the weather is pleasant you can enjoy a picnic under the rotunda. Depending on your vantage point, the views morph from the tree lined shore to panoramic water views stretching to the horizon. Should you wish to develop the block further with a larger home in lieu of the current house you could choose from any number of suitable sites (STCA), installing walls of floor to ceiling windows to make the most of this spectacular location.

The home is comfortable with three bedrooms, an open plan living space, double carport and a wide verandah with views down to the water. Solid fuel heating, split system units and numerous ceiling fans assist in keeping the home temperate year round, though nothing beats opening the doors and windows and letting the breeze from over the water fill the home with fresh country air.

Equipped for self-sufficient living, the gardens are supported by dam water and are planted with an array of vegetables, a fruit orchard and an olive grove, while four main water tanks provide ample water for domestic use.

A large percentage of the land is suitable for all types of livestock, with electric fencing and plantations providing shelter belts. Currently the ground is carrying an abundance of pasture for grazing. There are three catchment dams, one of the dams is fully fenced with a pump supplying water directly to the garden area, and a bore which pumps water to two stock troughs.

Infrastructure includes a 5 open bay steel shed with power and a 7.5m x 6m steel shed with concrete floor, power and a double carport with high clearance. In addition to the cattle yards, loading ramp and crush, there is a palatial chicken coop, numerous dog or small animal enclosures and sundry shedding.

Those wanting to engage in a small scale agricultural pursuit will embrace the entire property, or alternatively you may be interested in investigating agistment possibilities as both front paddocks are accessible from Sheedys Lane.

Occupying a sought-after position along the lake, it is only 15km to the popular tourist town of Heathcote where you can shop and have your medical needs tended to, as well as stocking up on local artisanal produce and wines. The major regional city of Bendigo is 50km away, and it is an easy 110km drive from the Melbourne Airport with bitumen road almost the entirety of the drive, with an excellent all-weather gravel road for a final short portion.
