Set on approximately 3.03 acres in the peaceful North East Victorian Township of Thoona, which is a pleasant drive & only 25 mins from Benalla, Wangaratta and 30 mins to Yarrawonga and 10 minutes away from The Warby Ranges and Waterfalls, to name a few major places. Access to the Hume Hwy to Albury / Wodonga or Melbourne. This beautifully improved and well maintained three-bedroom home offers a rare combination of space, views, practical shedding & infrastructure & relaxed country living.

The home is of solid construction, hardwood frame, hardwood floors & concrete stumps. The home is positioned or set back on the elevated rear portion of the property & has a broad outlook across the township & surrounding hills, with beautiful view to Mount Meg. A telescope at night, you can see from any part of the veranda with clear skies, stars and more – we have discovered. All 3 bedrooms are a good size, have hardwood timber varnished floors, the 3rd has carpet over. A family bathroom, vanity, shower & toilet, off the hallway, opposite the bedroom doors, like an ensuite to all 3. ( The hallway is 6 mtrs long and just over 1 mtr wide and suited for a book shelf as we have. It has newly layed structural ply on the floor, ( after removing the carpet ), which we have varnised coated 4 times and looks great, is light, practical, easy to sweep or vac. The laundry is a good size, off the hallway, tiled, with a separate toilet. There is a second outside laundry set up also, we mainly use & the front loader will remain for you.

Outside under the veranda out from the kitchen window a cabinet & benchtop is a cooking area with water, like a camp kitchen, we use alot. A good spot for the weber bbq and your slow cooker. A Brand New Dowell White Powder Coated Glass Sliding Door & Security Mesh Screen. We had the ceiling space fully professionally industrial vacummed out, all the old insulation, dirt & dust removed. We rescrewed the entire ceiling of the home as originally is was only clout nails held and plaster mixture fixed, before repainting the ceilings. We have fully installed New Earthwool Batts and it has made a massive difference. A huge task, but it is done ! We discovered there is Insulation batts in the walls and foil wrapped ( sarking ). A newly installed kitchen, bathroom upgrades and in over 12 months we have lived here, (as we are both Trademan ) have done all the maintenance it required. We haven't fitted paintings or artwork to the walls, we thought we would leave that for the new owners.

The parcel of land is a perfect size of 3.03 acres of fertile ground, which when you see, could be fenced into 5 paddocks perfectly, ultilising the long driveways, up one side and down the other. This would be great for a few Doorpa Sheep, a Cow, Horse & to be able to rotate pastures on a small hobby farm is very suitable. Chickens and an Organic way of Living, growing vegetables as we refrain from using poisons on the land. Raised garden beds are a good option or even to terrace the land in front of the home as it slopes genty. There are many things you could do here. VicPlanning allows for 100 chickens as it is Farm Zoned. Even 20 chickens, you could sell excess eggs locally. A Tiny House is permitted here also, for family, friends or an income stream if you wanted. If you are a family with Children or Grandchildren, there is plenty of space to run around. Farm Zoned yet only 450 metres to The General Store & Newly Renovated Thoona Hotel.

For those who would like to know why we are selling, we have been working on our Work Visa Permits for a some time now and our previous home sold rather quickly, whereby we had to move in 45 days, as those folks needed to settle quickly as they were Caravanning, Travelling Australia, Farm Sitting and funny enough from Wanagaratta themselves originally.
This property was on our saved list in case our permits hadn't arrived or we weren't granted permits in time which was the case - so this was it! It's taken a bit longer for our permits to come along & in the meantime, we have enjoyed this home, making it beautiful. We are in no rush & have no set times or set plans, as our work is with my Father in Law's Business, as he is an Aircraft Maintenance Mechanic & we will be Assistants.

The Highbay Shed and Double Garage have power and light and if you wanted, could have a car hoist fitted in there, for business or pleaseure. Has a new fitted 10,000 litre water tank from Tankworld Swan Hill which sits on a new rataining wall with steel H Beams and treated pine sleepers. The double garage behind the house, for one car currently but can be removed as it was set up as a studio walled in room in one side for hobbies or a workshop.

There are 4 beautiful old Peppercorn Trees on the property, which add character ( a nice shady spot in Summer) & we were told by the neighbours of an old home that once stood here, near the front years ago as they used to own all this land before subdividing. There are 3 Jacaranda Trees, up along the driveway, up past the shed as you come up the driveway, to the privacy of the home. The home garden is fenced off and rabbit proof. A beautiful established garden of plants, shurbs etc where you can do as much or as little as you want. A centre round garden, bricked in a circle configuration, with bulbs and a grapefruit tree, may also be nice for a fountain. There is a conduit across to there to run a plug in cord. Here grows tomtoes beautifully aswell and to the side garden we have potatoes growing currently among all the coloured roses you could imagine, planted by the previous owners. We have all the weeds under control by hand picking them, it's the only way!

There are no water bills as this place as it is on tank water and has a huge water tank for the house, over 50,000 litres & a new 10,000 litre tank on the shed. You'll never run out. There is an On Grid Solar system, 5-5 Kw which helps with the electric bill and our average bill is $65 as they come quarterly.
The home is 19 mtrs across the front, East to West and 12.3 mtrs front to back, North to South. Verandas all around & are 2.5 mtrs deep, many homes are only 1.8 mtrs, so heaps of room for furniture or leisure items. There is also CCTV camera's system installed for added security on the sheds for them & overlooking the home for peace of mind if you are away. The veranda decking is heavy duty, treated pine 40mm thick on steel structure. It has to be seen to be appreciated. Easy to sweep or mop clean. The windows have all been prepared and repainted, the eaves repainted aswell. There is nothing you need to do, just persnalize the place to your own. All window winders are new and replaced and replaced flyscreens. Someone years ago had fitted a solid pane window to the bathroom and toilet, unsure why, so we made 2 x complete new windows with wind outs to match the others for both rooms for ventilation as they should be. We have made timber windows for clients over the years, so it was a breeze to make these 2.
