Tucked away in a peaceful pocket of Boolarra, 55 Pioneer Road presents a rare opportunity to secure a lifestyle property rich in warmth, charm, and natural beauty. Built in the late 1980s, this solid brick home sits proudly on approx. 5.4 acres, offering a relaxed rural lifestyle with modern touches and a deep connection to the surrounding landscape.
A wide wraparound verandah sets the tone for the country lifestyle within. Stepping inside, the entry opens through an archway to a generous lounge with a wood fire, exposed beams, and a timber-lined ceiling that adds character and comfort. This leads into a second living area featuring a stunning open fireplace, expansive windows framing bush views, and French doors that open to the verandah—creating a space that is both inviting and full of personality.
The adjoining kitchen and dining area is beautifully appointed with Blackbutt timber benchtops, a farmhouse sink, 900mm Fisher & Paykel cooker with gas cooktop and electric oven, dishwasher, and split system heating/cooling for year-round comfort. From here, step out to a protected alfresco area complete with a striking brick retaining wall, outdoor fireplace, and established gardens—an idyllic setting to enjoy the sunset with friends and family.
Accommodation includes four bedrooms, each with a peaceful outlook, and three with built-in robes. The master suite features a walk-through robe and an updated ensuite with walk-in shower, wall-hung vanity, toilet, and IXL Tastic.
The central bathroom is light-filled and well-appointed with a bath, shower, and modern vanity, while a separate toilet and spacious laundry with direct outdoor access offer practical convenience and space for a mudroom setup.
Outside, the property continues to impress with lush lawns, thriving gardens, and a securely fenced house yard ideal for children or pets. A steel shed with concrete floor, power, and workbench, along with an adjoining carport, provides excellent storage and workspace. Additional features include an established orchard, chicken coop, 18-panel solar system, full insulation, Starlink high-speed internet, security cameras, and the convenience of a school bus stop at the end of the road.
Beyond the immediate garden, the land stretches into pristine native bushland—home to koalas, wallabies, wombats, echidnas, and lyrebirds—offering a private sanctuary and true connection to nature. The land also provides the potential for light grazing, with space for animals or further development (STCA). Water is supplied via large rainwater tanks totalling 60,000L, and the property operates on an efficient septic system—ensuring self-sufficiency and lower running costs.
Conveniently located, the property is just a short drive to the welcoming township of Boolarra, with a local primary school and everyday essentials. Mirboo North is only 20 minutes away, offering a vibrant selection of shops, cafes, and schools. For a wider range of services, major retailers, and V/Line access to Melbourne, Morwell is just a 30-minute drive, making this peaceful retreat feel surprisingly well connected.
This is a home that offers more than just space—it offers lifestyle, privacy, and a unique opportunity to enjoy the absolute best of country living.
