Findlatree Cottage: An Idyllic Union of Country Charm and Coastal Panoramas

Perched elegantly to capture sweeping panoramas that stretch across the rolling South Gippsland hills to the granite peaks of Wilsons Promontory and the glittering waters of Corner Inlet, this exceptional lifestyle property offers a rare synthesis of rural tranquillity and coastal proximity. Situated at 40 Oram Road, 'Findlatree Cottage' is a timeless timber weatherboard residence that serves as the ultimate sanctuary for tree changers seeking space, silence, and scenery. This is a home where every window frames a living painting and the changing light across the valley dictates the rhythm of the day.

The residence exudes an immediate sense of warmth and welcome. A generous wrap-around verandah encircles the home, providing a classic Australian architectural element that serves as the perfect vantage point for morning coffees or evening wines as the sun dips below the horizon. Stepping inside, the interiors are defined by gleaming polished timber floorboards that reflect the natural light flooding in through expansive glazing. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the breathtaking outlooks, ensuring a seamless visual connection with the surrounding landscape from almost every room.

At the heart of the home lies an inviting open-plan living and dining area. This space is anchored by a cosy wood heater, an essential and romantic addition for cooler Victorian evenings, while a reverse-cycle air conditioner guarantees climate control throughout the seasons. The atmosphere is one of relaxed sophistication, where the boundaries between indoors and outdoors feel delightfully blurred. Adjoining the living space is a country-style kitchen that perfectly balances rustic charm with modern functionality. Featuring warm timber benchtops, ample white cabinetry, gas cooking, and an electric oven, it is a space designed for those who love to cook and entertain, all while enjoying views over the garden.

The accommodation wing is comprised of three spacious bedrooms, each designed as a private retreat. Fitted with built-in robes, these rooms are light-filled sanctuaries that continue the theme of rural serenity. They are serviced by a central bathroom that reinforces the home's heritage-inspired aesthetic, featuring a classic claw-foot bath that invites long, restorative soaks after a day spent in the garden or exploring the nearby national parks.

Stepping outside, 'Findlatree Cottage' transforms from a charming home into a versatile hobby farm or manageable acreage retreat. The rear entertainment deck overlooks established gardens filled with mature succulents, lavender, and manicured lawns, offering a private space for alfresco dining. The property is exceptionally well-equipped for self-sufficiency and animal husbandry. The land features fenced paddocks suitable for horses or sheep, supported by a dam and excellent water storage capacity to ensure the grounds remain lush year-round.

For the practically minded, the infrastructure is comprehensive. A large powered workshop provides ideal space for tradespeople, creatives or tinkering enthusiasts, complemented by a dedicated wood shed that supports day-to-day rural living. The property functions seamlessly as a working lifestyle block where you can grow your own produce, and keep livestock, all within a securely fenced environment.

Despite its feeling of absolute seclusion, the property offers remarkable convenience. Located just minutes from the vibrant township of Foster on a sealed road, residents have easy access to essential amenities including the South Gippsland Hospital, supermarkets, schools, and a thriving arts community. The town acts as the gateway to Wilsons Promontory National Park, placing world-class hiking, beaches, and nature experiences on your doorstep. Whether you are seeking a permanent tree change, a weekend escape, or an equestrian lifestyle, this location delivers the best of both worlds.

This is an opportunity to secure a slice of South Gippsland’s finest country living, where privacy does not come at the cost of convenience. With its commanding views, character-filled residence, and ready-made farm infrastructure, 40 Oram Road is more than a home; it is a lifestyle destination waiting to be cherished.
