The Hidden Gem of Lake Bolac: Character, Comfort, and Country Lifestyle

Tucked privately behind manicured, storybook gardens, this charming weatherboard residence is one of Lake Bolac's best-kept secrets. Relocated from Wickliffe in 1985 and meticulously cared for ever since, the home blends timeless character with thoughtful modern upgrades, offering an idyllic lifestyle just moments from town, the water, and an easy drive to regional hubs.

Inviting, Light-Filled Living
Step inside to a bright, open-plan living domain dressed in easy-care vinyl flooring and bathed in natural sunlight with serene garden outlooks. Kept comfortable year-round by a split system, this welcoming space flows effortlessly into the central dining and well-equipped kitchen. Home cooks will love the practicality on offer:
• Two generous pantries
• Dedicated fridge and microwave spaces
• Electric cooktop and oven
• Ample prep space and seamless connection to family living

Rest & Versatility
The accommodation wing comprises three generous bedrooms, all updated with plush carpet in the last four years, built-in robes, and individual reverse-cycle split systems for personalised climate control. Servicing the home is a neat central bathroom complete with a full bath, separate shower, vanity, and an independent toilet for household convenience.

Need to work from home? A dedicated internal storage room toward the rear provides the perfect footprint to convert into a quiet home office, study, or studio.

Exceptional Year-Round Entertaining
Outdoors is where this property truly shines. Step out onto the expansive, fully undercover Merbau timber deck-fitted with all-weather bistro blinds so you can entertain friends and family in comfort no matter the season. Beyond the deck, gather around the designated fire pit zone under the starry country sky.

Shedding, Retreats & Outdoor Hobbies
Catering to trades, tinkerers, and outdoor enthusiasts, the grounds feature extensive infrastructure:
• The Ultimate Retreat: A detached "man cave," "she shed," or teen getaway fitted with a concrete floor, built-in bar, and a cosy potbelly stove.
• Vehicle Storage: Secure double garage plus loads of extra shedding.
• Outdoor Storage: An additional dedicated storage room crafted to suit the theme and character of the home.
• Green Thumb's Delight: An established hot house and abundant yard space ready to expand into a thriving vegetable patch.

Peace of Mind & Prime Location
The big-ticket maintenance items have already been handled, with the roof, spouting, and plumbing pipes all replaced within the last ten years.

Location is key:
• 450m stroll to the heart of Lake Bolac (local pub, supermarket, cafe/takeaway, and rural supplies).
• 20-minute walk to the shores of Lake Bolac for fishing, boating, and watersports.
• 50 km to the major regional centre of Ararat for comprehensive shopping, healthcare, rail links, and amenities.

Whether you're seeking a relaxed tree-change, a lifestyle upgrade with space for all the toys, or a character-filled home where every detail has been loved, 2165 Glenelg Highway is ready to welcome you.
