13 Paynes Rd, Chirnside Park VIC 3116

Four hectares (40,608sqm) in Chirnside Park is not something you expect to find this close to everyday conveniences. A broad, level stretch of land where space, privacy and possibility come together only minutes from schools, shops and the train.

The block itself is flat, open and genuinely usable. Keep horses, start a hobby farm, plant an orchard, collect fresh eggs from your own hens, build a tennis court, add a swimming pool or simply give the kids the kind of childhood that comes with room to roam. A two-car shed with workshop and storeroom is already in place, along with additional storage and a rainwater tank. Lifestyle properties often come with distance attached. This one keeps the countryside feel while remaining firmly connected to the suburb around it.

The four-bedroom brick home has real character and a floor plan that works for everyday routines and entertaining. Timber floors run through the three north-facing living zones, each with a distinct purpose. The lounge has a bay window, wood heater and sliding door out to an alfresco patio. The dining room sits alongside the kitchen, which has electric cooking and a dishwasher. The family room has its own bay window, a built-in bar and an adjoining study or wine cellar. Ducted heating and ducted vacuum run throughout, with split system air conditioning in the dining room.
