“There is plenty of room for a tennis court or mini golf courses or whatever you want,” he said.
“The proximity to town is fantastic so if you wanted to put extra money into it you are always going to be well positioned.”
Scarcity of lifestyle properties so close to Geelong underpins the value Moolap’s belt of rural land, just 10 minutes drive from the city centre.
Mr McCann said he had received a number of inquires within 24 hours of June St hitting the market.
The vendors added the swimming pool after buying the property in 2021.
Hydronic underfloor heating and a wood heater beat the winter chills.
“They have always been pretty tightly held, that is part of it, but we had a block of land we sold a year or so back, it was a similar size, it went for $1.3m,” he said.
“By the time you try and replicate what we have got here you just can’t do so I think it’s realistic.
“There have been some terrific sales around Leopold as well for similar type properties that shows there is an appetite for it, that people are prepared to pay for a terrific home in a terrific location.”
A vast north-facing living zone featuring heated polished concrete floors and raked ceilings is at the centre of the family home.
The sleek kitchen has loads of storage, including in the walk-in pantry.
Many of the bedrooms have a pool view.
The shedding is positioned well away from the house, making it ideal to run a business.
A high-end kitchen with a Falcon dual electric oven and gas cooktop presides over the dining and lounge area, which flows out to a poolside patio.
There’s also pool views from the second living room and four of the bedrooms, including the main suite.
The fifth bedroom, designed as a teen or guest quarters with its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, is zoned in another wing that also houses two separate home offices.
As well as a triple garage, the property has a stand-alone 20m x 11m shed, which Mr McCann said was ideal for tradies or indulging in hobbies.
