If you're seeking a peaceful escape with endless potential to earn an income, 'Cherry Lane' offers abundant opportunities. Nestled on a stunning 24.68 hectares with four street entrances, you'll embrace fresh air and natural beauty, surrounded by gums, poplars, and wildlife, all while enjoying a rewarding income-generating prospect.

Nestled high overlooking the cherry orchards, the heart of the estate is a stunning French Provincial-style cottage, designed for relaxed country living. With three spacious bedrooms, two living areas, a beautifully updated country kitchen, and a fully renovated bathroom, this home is move-in ready. The expansive 16m x 4m outdoor patio provides the perfect space to entertain while enjoying breathtaking gumtree views and sprawling lawns.

A double garage with an integrated workshop and storage room offers plenty of space for bikes, tools, and toys, while a 6.5m x 12m shed accommodates a horse float, boat, caravan, trailer, or motorbikes.

With its own entrance from Marshall Road, the second dwelling is a charming early 1900s return-veranda villa, nestled in a secluded valley surrounded by century-old pines, gums, and oaks. Ready for a complete renovation, this character-filled home could be transformed into an Airbnb, rental property, or a multi-generational family retreat.

Additionally, a near-new onsite cabin with a toilet and bathroom overlooks a dam teeming with Cod and yabbies-ideal as a teenager's retreat, guest accommodation, or home office.

The fully operational cherry orchard spans 9 hectares (22 acres) and produces 50 to 150 tonnes of premium-grade cherries each year. Whether you choose to manage the orchard yourself or have it professionally operated, you'll enjoy a reliable income stream, with annual earnings ranging from $100,000 in lower-yield years to $500,000 in peak seasons, offering both flexibility and significant potential.

The infrastructure on this property is a dream for anyone with a passion for quality craftsmanship. It features multiple high-quality steel-frame sheds with cement floors, 3-phase power, solar panels, and cold rooms. Additionally, there's a spring-fed dam and a bore with a substantial water license, offering ample resources to support any venture.

It only gets better for the kids: two pony paddocks, endless horse riding trails through the expansive forest, and plenty of room for motorbikes or mountain bikes, with Fox Creek just a 3km ride along Mawson Road. Hiking and walking opportunities abound in the surrounding forests. There's also a chook house and space for other pets, along with home orchards brimming with figs, apricots, nectarines, peaches, plums, apples, lemons, and limes.

Your neighbours include the award-winning Lofty Ranges Vineyards and Pike & Joyce, both offering exceptional dining experiences perfect for treating yourself or celebrating special occasions over a glass of wine.

You'll also be well-served with Lobethal, Woodside, and Balhannah just 10 minutes away, offering shopping, gyms, pilates, sporting clubs, and general services.

For schooling, Lenswood Primary School is only 5 minutes away, and there's a school bus pick-up from Lenswood Store to Oakbank Area School (R-12), Hills Christian, Cornerstone, and Faith at Tanunda. You're also 10 minutes from Woodside, where buses provide access to Scotch College, Seymour College, and the city.

Ideally located, you have a choice of routes to the city: 25 minutes via Lobethal Road or 40 minutes via the freeway, offering easy access to both the north and south of the city.
