It also has a wide veranda that runs around the perimeter of the homestead and overlooks park-like gardens, a rural landscape and an in-ground, salt-chlorinated, solar-heated pool.

Sonya and Ashleigh Batty bought Kergunyah 14 years ago and have enjoyed entertaining guests but also raising their three young children.

"It's a great place to raise a family," Sonya said.

"The kids love it. They've got a whole stack of DVDs they've been given that haven't been watched yet because they're just too busy playing outside."

The grand homestead at Kergunyah has been built with an extensive amount of high-quality timber and no expense has been spared.

It has four large bedrooms, plus a study that could be converted into a fifth bedroom.

All the bedrooms have views of the property and the master bedroom has a huge modern ensuite with a double shower and caesar-stone benchtops.

There is an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a woodfire heater and a second living room, also with a woodfire heater.

Additional features of the homestead include a mud room, billiard room and a double-garage under the roofline of the house, which offers internal access to the home.

There is also a one-bedroom, self-contained unit on the property, ideal for guest accommodation.

"This is a fine country homestead," selling agent Ken Drysdale said.

"It's in immaculate order, with no money to spend on the property.

"You can just come in and enjoy a magnificent rural lifestyle."

Kergunyah is an outstanding lifestyle property but it is also ideal for small livestock pursuits.

The property is fenced into three paddocks with good electric fencing and there are troughs in each of the paddocks.

There is also an impressive set of cattle yards and substantial shedding.

Water is a feature of Kergunyah and Sonya and Ashleigh said they have never run out.

"There is extremely good water storage here," Ken said. "There are three dams and a huge amount of rainwater with 250,000 litres (capacity) minimum from 12 rainwater tanks."

Kergunyah is about a 30-minute drive to both Geelong and Ballarat and about an hour's drive to Melbourne's CBD.

The property is tucked away in a peaceful and tranquil area and attracts a large number of birdlife.
