"OAK LODGE" IN THE HEART OF THE POPULAR INDIGO VALLEY

Allotment: 20 acres (approx. 8 ha)

The current owners are seeking a lifestyle change and are offering this wonderful property to the market for the next family to enjoy.

Oak Lodge sits in the heart of the popular Indigo Valley, within an easy commute to Albury/Wodonga, Beechworth, and the Hume Freeway. It’s just 40 km to Albury, 35 km to Wodonga via the Hume Freeway, and 14 km to Barnawartha, with the Rutherglen wine region and the historic towns of Beechworth and Yackandandah an easy drive away.

The property features a well-presented three-bedroom brick veneer home with spacious bedrooms, plus a separate office/study. The well-positioned kitchen offers electric cooking and ample cupboard space with an adjacent meals area. There’s a central family bathroom and a generous laundry. Attractive features include cornice work and timber floorboards. Heating is via combustion wood heating, and cooling is provided by evaporative ducted air conditioning. An 18-panel solar system returns power to the grid to help keep energy bills to a minimum.

The grounds are truly stunning, with established, low-maintenance gardens, mature shade trees, ornamentals, and some fruit trees. The jewel in the crown is a magnificent 180-year-old English oak – perfect for relaxing or entertaining under in the warmer months. Lush lawns surround the home, supported by an excellent water supply.

The acreage offers a balance of highly fertile creek flats and equally fertile higher bank country. It’s subdivided into easy-to-maintain paddocks with a convenient laneway throughout, ideal for livestock or equine pursuits. A reticulated trough system supplies water to each paddock, and a number of horse shelters are positioned throughout.

Improvements include two single garages, lock-up workshop shedding, an open hay/machinery shed, and cattle yards with a race. The property also offers a large shipping container ideal for additional storage.

Water is abundant, with a reliable well, spring-fed dams, long creek frontage, and a large rainwater storage system – making the property drought-resilient. Water is gravity-fed to the rainwater tank and serviced by a high-quality pressure pump. The septic system has also been recently updated.

Primary schools are available at Middle Indigo, Barnawartha, and Wodonga, with high schools in Albury/Wodonga and Beechworth, and tertiary education in both Albury and Wodonga. School buses pass the front gate.

The current owners have also added a two-bedroom studio apartment adjoining the main shedding. It features a stunning bathroom with a full bath and lovely décor – ideal for possible Airbnb accommodation or extended family living.

If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of in-town living and want a beautiful lifestyle property you can further improve if desired – with abundant water – 1476 Indigo Creek Road is well worth your inspection.
