"It's probably one of those properties that are suited to somebody looking to escape the rat race," selling agent Scott McCormick said.

"It's a rare opportunity. It's in a well-loved area and is very well located."

The property is situated at the end of a long, pretty, winding driveway and is surrounded by native trees.

"It's more or less a rural retreat," Scott said.

"It has a really nice dam out the front and a veranda (where) people could sit out ... looking over the dam.

"The house is set well back from the road, so it's very private and the road is a dead-end road so there's no passing traffic."

The two-storey, three-bedroom house is full of character and has lots of natural light. The main bedroom has an ensuite and there is a four-car carport and excellent shedding.

There are two dams on the property and several water tanks to provide an ample amount of water.

The property is close to well-known equine properties, Darley Horse Stud and Wadham Park, and is about 100km north of Melbourne.
