The 23 May open home is a useful chance to assess the whole holding: home, studio, gardens, dam and valley setting.

The next open home at 30 O'Malleys Rd, Mardan is scheduled for Saturday 23 May 2026 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm.

With the property now guided at $1.195m, the inspection is a good opportunity to compare the complete lifestyle package rather than only the headline price: the residence, valley outlook, gardens, dam, lower level and separate poured-earth studio.

Start with the outlook and setting

The Tarwin Valley outlook is one of the property's defining qualities. On site, take time to understand how the house sits in the landscape and how the view changes from the living areas, terrace and grounds.

A strong rural view matters most when it feels part of daily life, not just a backdrop for photographs.

The inspection should test how the valley outlook works from the home and outdoor living areas.

Notice the comfort, not only the style

The Tuscan-inspired Mediterranean styling gives the home its character, but the practical comfort features are just as important.

Pay attention to the fully double glazed upstairs living areas, passive solar orientation, fireplace, glazing, and how settled the main spaces feel in late autumn conditions.

Cooler-season inspections help buyers judge comfort and atmosphere more clearly.

Walk the studio and lower level

The separate poured-earth studio and the lower-level spaces are central to how the property can be used. They support guests, work, hobbies and longer stays.

Ask yourself whether these spaces would be used weekly, seasonally or only occasionally. That answer will shape how much value they add to your own brief.

Compare the new guide with the complete package

At $1.195m, Springbank should be compared against other quality South Gippsland acreage on the basis of land, outlook, comfort, improvements and location.

The strongest comparison is not with a standard house in town. It is with properties that can offer privacy, amenity, separate-use spaces and a genuine regional lifestyle base.
