FROM a just few farmlets in the 19th Century with the name Duck Ponds, it took a while for this tiny town’s potential to be recognised.

Today Lara is a modern town with a list of essential amenities including schools, a shopping centre, a train station and, with its proximity to Melbourne, Lara makes sense to homebuyers.

Located in the new Grand Lakes Estate, this contemporary property at 8 Mathieson Place offers functionality and space.

The home’s clever design provides a natural flow through to the living areas, all surrounded by the large kitchen.

Appealing to the family chef, the kitchen contains Caesar stone benchtops, wide preparation areas, stainless steel 900mm gas cooktop, an electric multifunction oven, glass splashbacks and a large butler’s pantry.

A functional theatre room could also be used as a children’s play room.

The spacious master bedroom, one of fourbedrooms, offers a large walk-in robe and an en suite with double rectangular spa bath, a separate shower and a full vanity.

Double timber sliding doors open to an alfresco area with timber decking and further to low-maintenance gardens.

The main bedroom has a built-in-robe, walk-in-robe, heating and air-conditioning, ceiling fans and an en suite The two other double bedrooms are equipped with built-in robes, while a separate study could be converted to a fourth bedroom.

The home offers a gas log fire, central heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning, so no matter what the weather outside the inside will be comfortable.

A modern, decked, alfresco area provides outdoor entertaining all year round.

An under-roof-line double garage takes care of the cars and provides plenty of extra storage space.

NEW HOMES AND LAND

RIVERFALLS TICKS ALL THE BOXES PROPERTY developer Tidebird recently announced the launch of stage four Riverfalls Estate land release.

Tidebird director Gary Plumridge says the latest Riverfalls’ allotments are available through private sale with Gartland Real Estate.

“Riverfalls offers buyers an opportunity to build close to the Baums weir,” Gary says.

“The weir was created to ensure the paper mills on the opposite side of the river had sufficient water to turn their water wheels in the late 1800s and the early 1900s, so imagine taking the family on canoe trips up the Barwon through the majestic Barrabool Hills.”

Gary says the estate features parkland surrounding the Barwon River’s edge with extensive native

trees.

“Residents at Riverfalls will marvel at the diversity of bird life at their doorstep,” he says.

“The entrance to the Riverfalls estate has a purpose-built wetland area and has seen the endangered growling grass frog return in large numbers.”

“Riverfalls ticks all the boxes for buyers looking to build a home that provides an unequalled lifestyle by being part of a boutique housing enclave.

“Historians claim that William Buckley lived in the Riverfalls area for almost 32 years, so now it’s your turn to inspect and secure your block at Riverfalls stage four while they last.”

Gary encourages buyers to contact Garland Real Estate’s Phillipa Garland on 0409 499 765 for more information on the allotments available.
