THIS beautifully presented six-year-old farmhouse is on the crest of a hill on eight rolling hectares of land.

The three-bedroom open-plan home at Yellingbo is just 2km from the Warburton Highway, about 35 minutes' drive from the Monash Freeway and an hour's drive to Melbourne.

The home has an open-plan lounge and dining room, separate sitting room, polished timber floors, a timber kitchen, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and solid-fuel heating.

Wide verandas around the timber farm house provide spectacular views of the surrounds.

"It's a magnificent spot," selling agent Val Nichols said.

"Situated on the crest of the hill, it's got 180-degree views from just about every window of the house."

The property is currently used as a lifestyle home, but as it is fenced into 10 paddocks and equipped with a machinery shed, cattle-loading ramp and dam, it can also be used as a large hobby farm.

The property is for sale for $895,000, through Val Nichols Real Estate, Coldstream.
