Residence above the dam, lawns and timber viewing deck
Springbank at 30 O'Malleys Rd, Mardan is offered with a $1.195m price guide. When comparing acreage properties, consider the home, land, improvements and location together.
The property combines a Tuscan-inspired Mediterranean residence, established gardens, a dam, a separate studio and a private Tarwin Valley setting. Each contributes to how the holding can be enjoyed throughout the year.
Consider the complete acreage holding
With a $1.195m price guide, Springbank offers buyers a rural base within reach of nearby towns and their everyday services.
The main residence, garden structure, water outlook and separate studio all need to be considered together. Taken as a whole, the property offers more than a standard regional home with a paddock around it.
For buyers comparing South Gippsland real estate, that broader package is the point of difference.
Comfort is part of the value
The upstairs main living areas are fully double glazed, which is a meaningful everyday benefit in a regional home. It improves comfort, quietness and seasonal usability.
The passive solar logic and the poured-earth studio walls add to that year-round feel. On hot days and cold winter mornings, those details are more than technical notes; they shape how the property can be used.
Consider those comfort features alongside the floorplan, land and setting when assessing the property.
Separate spaces support longer stays
The lower level and separate studio make the property more flexible for guests, family visits, work, hobbies or extended weekend use.
That flexibility matters because many South Gippsland buyers are not only looking for a weekend escape. They are testing whether a property can support long stays now and potentially a permanent move later.
A home that already has separate zones is easier to adapt as needs change.
Consider the location
Mardan gives the property privacy without making it feel isolated from the region. Leongatha, Meeniyan and Mirboo North are each close enough to shape weekly routines.
That position is valuable for buyers who want land and quiet but still want food, services, schools, medical access, events and coastal day trips within reach.
An inspection is a useful opportunity to explore the property and try the journeys you would make regularly.
