00:00From its barren beauty to lush landscapes.
00:07The Australian countryside is as beautiful as it is breathtaking.
00:14Many Australians are discovering rural life and making the move.
00:20So I'm on the hunt to help everyday Australians find their perfect country house.
00:30Welcome to Warragul, a place that holds a very dear spot in my heart.
00:35So I absolutely adore this region and this is actually one of the fastest growing areas in the state.
00:40You see we're around about an hour from the heart of Melbourne.
00:43We're close to ski fields, we're close to beaches, it has it all.
00:47And that is the reason why today's buyers love the area but they want to move closer to town.
00:53There's a little bit more traffic these days.
00:55So I found three homes for them that are quite close to the heart of Warragul.
00:59So how about we go and meet Jackie and Peter and we have a good old sticky beak around Warragul.
01:14Hello. Hello. Jackie and Peter.
01:17Hi Katrina.
01:18This is incredible to see how this area is moving ahead at a rapid pace.
01:24Yeah, it's really evolved.
01:26Why do you want to move here?
01:28We want to move here to be close to town for our kids.
01:37We met at Safeway in Wonthaggie.
01:40I got a job in the deli and Pete was doing a traineeship.
01:44He was in fruit and veg and then he was in the deli and that's where I was.
01:48We hung out a bit for about a year and then we went our separate ways.
01:56Jackie had two children, I had one child.
01:59Then we got back together and we had two kids together.
02:02We live in Niram South in West Gippsland.
02:05It's a beautiful little country hamlet.
02:07We love it there.
02:08The main reason is for our younger children who are now working and sport and school is all in Warragul and we're sick of driving into town.
02:19We want our children to be independent.
02:21They should be able to ride to school, catch the train if they want, to go to basketball, footy training.
02:27We want them to be independent so we've got free time.
02:30Yeah.
02:31We're looking for a home.
02:33We are looking for a home.
02:34It needs to be something we love and it needs to cater for all the children and friends.
02:40We want the convenience of being in town.
02:41And we want the convenience.
02:43Where we are now at Niram South there's no Uber, no taxis pretty much.
02:48There's no public transport.
02:50Ideally it has to be minimum four bedrooms, more the better.
02:55Yeah.
02:56But minimum four.
02:57Structurally it needs to be what we want but we're happy to put a pool in, put a bergola.
03:02Update a kitchen.
03:03Aesthetic things.
03:04Yeah.
03:05Anywhere between one and two million.
03:07Yep.
03:10Just an hour from Melbourne.
03:12Warragul is a town on the rise.
03:15Surrounded by rolling green hills, a thriving local community, wonderful schools and easy city access.
03:23It is no wonder families like Jackie and Peter are ready to make the move closer to the heart of this booming town.
03:32We're going to have a fun day.
03:35Great.
03:36I have three totally different houses for you.
03:39So this property has four bedrooms.
03:42That was on your wish list, is that right?
03:44Yes.
03:45It sure was.
03:46How many people have we got staying at home or is that variable?
03:48It's variable.
03:49So two children permanently and three others that are...
03:55In, out, in, out.
03:56According to food, needs, hunger.
03:58Exactly.
03:59Right.
04:00Alright, well let's go check out house number one.
04:02Cool.
04:03As I say, it's brand spanking new.
04:04Yep.
04:05Come and have a look.
04:06I know.
04:07Oh, when we were coming up to the front of the house, I really loved the privacy.
04:13Just a garage door.
04:15Totally private.
04:16No one can see your business.
04:17No one can see anything, which is really important.
04:25Come on through Chatterboxes.
04:27Wow.
04:28I know.
04:29It's pretty wow, isn't it?
04:31It's gorgeous.
04:32Anything that you could possibly wish for is here.
04:35And I'm just going to let you know right now, because there is a view straight out to a pool,
04:39and I think that was something that you were after.
04:42That is definitely what I was after.
04:44Yep.
04:45Excellent.
04:46All of this completely opens up.
04:48Yeah.
04:49The attention to detail is next level.
04:52Something that I think is pretty funky.
04:54Everything here, touch of a button, electric.
04:57There we go.
04:58We want it simplified, and it doesn't get any better than that.
05:01When we entered the house, gee, I was blown away by all the light, the high ceilings.
05:07Yeah, I love the high ceilings.
05:08It's really open.
05:09Yep.
05:10Definitely the vaulted high ceiling makes the space look so much bigger.
05:13And the floors look fantastic as well.
05:15Yeah.
05:16I love the detail.
05:17Yeah, me too.
05:18Well, look, I tell you what, go and have a wander, and I'll go and see what the garden's
05:22like, and when you're ready, I'll meet you out by the fire pit.
05:25Okay?
05:26Terrific.
05:27Wow.
05:28Oh, wow.
05:29It's really cool.
05:30Gee.
05:31Yeah.
05:32It's quite a good size.
05:33And I like the curtains and the windows look out there in the yard.
05:34I like the finish behind the bed.
05:35And heaps of cupboards, which is important.
05:36A walk-in wardrobe, I would prefer rather than just a wall of cupboards.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Bathroom's really nice.
05:39Yeah.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Yeah.
05:42Yeah.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Yeah.
05:45Yeah.
05:46Yeah.
05:47Yeah.
05:48Yeah.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Yeah.
05:52Yeah.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Yeah.
05:55Yeah.
05:56Yeah.
05:57Terrific.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Yeah.
06:00Yeah.
06:01Yeah.
06:02Terrific.
06:03Yeah.
06:04It was really nice.
06:05A little bit on the small size for living space.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Yeah.
06:09But the rooms are really roomy.
06:10Yeah.
06:11I wonder how much it is.
06:12Let's go find Katrina.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Let's go find her.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Okay.
06:22Hello.
06:23Hi.
06:24Come and join me in this glorious country weather.
06:28Yes.
06:29That's right.
06:30And how do you feel about the fact that we are just looking onto trees all around us?
06:35Look, that is a big bonus.
06:36Yeah.
06:37One thing I'm scared about is like having neighbours everywhere.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Yeah.
06:42So this is beautiful because it's so private.
06:45Well, let's get to the price of this incredible new build.
06:49What do you think it's on the market for?
06:50Well, I would say probably 1.1?
06:5450?
06:551.1 to 1.2?
06:56Yeah.
06:57You are right, Peter.
06:58It's actually 1.2 to 1.3.
07:01Okay.
07:02Considering the size of the property, that's pretty darn good.
07:05It is.
07:06It is.
07:07Yeah.
07:08I think the price is there about.
07:10Yeah.
07:11Yeah, I think it's pretty spot on.
07:12I would not say no to this, but I'm pretty excited to see the other two.
07:19Something to think about.
07:20Something to think about.
07:21Something to think about.
07:22And this is the first of the three.
07:23We just get to have a sticky beak.
07:24So let's go check out house number two.
07:26Excellent.
07:28We're off to a really good start with house number one.
07:31However, I have a feeling Jackie and Peter are going to absolutely love the next house.
07:37It's a gorgeous Hampton style home.
07:50Next up, we've got something with a little bit of extra charm.
07:53Let's see how Jackie and Peter feel about this one.
07:59Well, welcome to this Hampton style home.
08:03The reason I brought you here is we are 10 minutes walk from everything.
08:09Excellent.
08:10Yeah.
08:11What do you think of this style of home?
08:12I like the facade.
08:13It's not what I'm used to.
08:15I either like really old or really modern.
08:18Okay.
08:19Okay.
08:20Okay.
08:21Well, let's get inside.
08:22Yeah.
08:23But the inside.
08:24Open-minded.
08:25Not generally into that facade.
08:29However, in saying that, it's really neat.
08:31It looks really cute and pretty.
08:34And yeah, I actually don't mind it.
08:37Come on through to the hub of the home.
08:48It really has been built to cater for a very flexible family.
08:52The fact that you've got several living spaces on this level alone means that you can have
08:58your army separated together in here if need be.
09:03I really like it.
09:04The other house didn't have the windows.
09:06Yeah.
09:07There.
09:08So that really kind of opens it up.
09:09Gives a lot more light.
09:10It's a nice feature, isn't it?
09:11Yeah, it is.
09:12I like that too.
09:13Yeah.
09:14I like how it flows through to the outdoor space with the pool.
09:16I think it just opens up.
09:17It brings the outside inside.
09:19A lot of different zones.
09:23Like you've got a formal lounge.
09:26The study, which we really need because we work from home.
09:29Cinema room.
09:30Cinema room.
09:31Yeah.
09:32Paint it black.
09:33Put a big lock on it.
09:35See you later.
09:38I'll meet you outside, but have a look at all the different living spaces.
09:43Because I've got a pretty good cherry that I haven't mentioned outside.
09:46I've got a good cherry on top.
09:47So take your time and I'll see you outside by the fire pit.
09:50Okay, see you soon.
09:53Wow.
09:54Holy cow.
09:55It's huge.
09:56Oh, it's massive.
09:57I love the windows.
09:58They're really fantastic.
09:59Lots of natural lighting.
10:00Yeah.
10:01Yeah.
10:02Nice.
10:03And I guess we could put our big couch back in here and be like a little…
10:04See you on the wall.
10:05Yeah.
10:06Parents retreat.
10:07Parents retreat.
10:08Oh, terrific.
10:09A walk-in road.
10:10Yeah.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Nice.
10:13And I guess we could put our big couch back in here and be like a little…
10:16See you on the wall.
10:17Yeah.
10:18Parents retreat.
10:19Parents retreat.
10:20Yeah.
10:21Oh, terrific.
10:22A walk-in road.
10:23Yeah, no, it's huge.
10:24Wow.
10:25Fantastic.
10:26And look, they've even got more cupboard space here.
10:28Mmm.
10:29Yeah.
10:30So far so good.
10:31Yeah, what do you think of the house?
10:32Yeah, I like it.
10:34More living zones for the kids.
10:36Yeah.
10:37We've all got our own space.
10:38Yep.
10:39And it ticks the box with me for being close to town.
10:41Yeah, for sure.
10:53Well, come and join me.
10:54Wow.
10:55Wow.
10:56Another pool.
10:57Alright, so that's solar heated.
10:58I mentioned that before.
11:00This is really where the family spend most of their time.
11:03Yeah.
11:04You can see we've got the full-blown outdoor kitchen happening here.
11:07Yeah.
11:08And all of this is sensitive to the weather.
11:10Oh.
11:11So it's a little bit grey, a little bit…
11:13Yeah.
11:14A little bit rainy today.
11:15Yeah.
11:16So it's closed, but that whole thing…
11:17Yeah, it opens up.
11:18…is sensitive and it opens up immediately.
11:19Wow.
11:20But do you want to know about the cherry?
11:22I do.
11:23Right.
11:24Yes.
11:25What is it?
11:26Well, this was set up as an outdoor gym, but one of the boys moved away and he's come
11:31back, so they now have a complete set-up studio there.
11:35Wow.
11:36So you've got bathrooms, kitchens, the whole lot.
11:38Oh.
11:39So it's totally separate, private, and good to go as an outdoor studio space.
11:45Yeah, right.
11:46It's well done.
11:47Yeah.
11:48And that is probably the most appealing thing, is the fact that we can have children out
11:53outside of the house and not in our space.
11:55Yep.
11:56What do you think this place is on the market for?
11:58I'm saying 1.25?
11:59Yeah, 1.25, 1.3.
12:001.3?
12:01What do you think this place is on the market for?
12:15I'm saying 1.25?
12:17Yeah, 1.25, 1.3.
12:191.3?
12:20It's 1.
12:21Yep.
12:22Yeah.
12:23Wow.
12:24Oh.
12:25Oh, that's a tick.
12:26Excellent!
12:27I'm surprised.
12:30The budget, I mean that gives me plenty more money to do other things to it, to make it
12:37the way I would like it.
12:39I think the price is really reasonable.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Very reasonable.
12:43Yeah.
12:44I've got one more to show you.
12:45Oh.
12:46One more to show you.
12:47One more.
12:48One more.
12:49To show you.
12:50That is quite different.
12:51Shall we head down the side path for that one?
12:52Yep.
12:53Alright, let's head off.
12:55Well, house number two definitely offered wonderful value.
12:59However, there is still one more home to see.
13:03Let's check out house number three.
13:06How do you feel as you arrive at this over three acre property?
13:13A four minute drive from town.
13:15Your kids could still get on their bikes and head into town if need be.
13:19Yep.
13:20You're speechless.
13:21It's a little overwhelming, but it's amazing.
13:25Yeah.
13:26It's beautiful.
13:27Yeah.
13:28Why don't we just go and have a look at the house?
13:29It's so well done.
13:30Yeah.
13:31Just for the fun of it, come and have a look.
13:42We'll come on through to the main living area, but there's actually three huge living areas
13:47here.
13:48Yeah.
13:49Look at that kitchen.
13:51They have really thought of everything.
13:53There's no bending down from the microwave, duly noted.
13:55Yes.
13:56No, no bending.
13:57Yep.
13:58Very good.
13:59I think it's also lovely both sides.
14:00You can see.
14:01Yes.
14:02Both sides.
14:03And again, lots of light.
14:04Yes.
14:05Yep.
14:06You can see in.
14:07The house is really well built.
14:10It's solid.
14:11The rooms are great size.
14:13They're not too big.
14:14They're not too small.
14:15Yeah.
14:16It's got all the mod comms.
14:17It's got everything.
14:18Everything.
14:19Yeah.
14:20Yep.
14:21It's a bit dated, that's all.
14:22I don't know if you noticed there was a shed on the way in.
14:25Do you want to go and have a look?
14:26I'd love to.
14:27Okay.
14:28It's been Pete's dream to own them.
14:29Hang on down.
14:30Right.
14:31You're going to love it.
14:32Okay.
14:33Okay.
14:34Out the door.
14:35Oh, wow.
14:36How awesome.
14:37Oh, this is cool as.
14:38Wow.
14:39Fantastic.
14:40Bloody heater in here.
14:41That's a sliver.
14:42Pull.
14:43Look at the bar.
14:44Oh, wow.
14:45That's amazing.
14:46Wow.
14:47When we walked in the man cave, I didn't really expect much and when I got in there, I couldn't
14:52believe how magnificent it was.
14:54He's put so much thought into that room.
14:55Yeah.
14:56Great for party, for entertaining for parties.
14:57Yeah.
14:58For the kids to entertain.
14:59And then the shed attached to that.
15:00Just perfect.
15:01Yeah.
15:02So price wise, do you think it might be a bit out of our price range?
15:05Mmm.
15:06It's quite a big place.
15:07Well, it's three acres.
15:08Yeah.
15:09Well, let's go find Katrina.
15:10Right now.
15:11Yeah.
15:12Yeah.
15:13Yeah.
15:14Yeah.
15:15Yeah.
15:16Yeah.
15:17Yeah.
15:18So price wise, do you think it might be a bit out of our price range?
15:22Mmm.
15:23It's quite a big place.
15:24Well, it's three acres.
15:25Yeah.
15:26Well, let's go find Katrina.
15:27Right now.
15:28Okay.
15:38Run me through it.
15:39What did you think of the man cave?
15:41It's fantastic.
15:42It's a great space.
15:43Yeah.
15:44Man cave perfect.
15:45Right.
15:46Look, the place is magnificent, really.
15:48It's so clean.
15:49It's clean, well built, lots of space.
15:53What do you think this house is on the market for?
15:55We'll just have a little bit of fun with that.
15:57Well, more than the other houses, obviously, with the land and the size of the house and
16:02probably 1.9, 1.9 to two.
16:06Yep.
16:07I think they probably had it at two.
16:08Oh, right.
16:09And then it's come down just a fraction.
16:13As for price, it is at the top end of our budget.
16:16I mean, it's worth it because, you know, look at the property and the land.
16:20Yeah.
16:21But as I said, you wouldn't need to spend a few bucks on a bit of updating.
16:24But, you know, if we had to be pushed over the edge, then, you know, we'd look at it.
16:29Look, we've shown you these three completely different places.
16:32When you're ready, we'll catch up and we'll have a chat about what we've seen today.
16:36Yeah.
16:37Terrific.
16:38All right, lovely.
16:39Awesome.
16:40Three houses now.
16:41They've all been really different and lots to think about.
16:43Yeah.
16:44So we'll go and have a drink and have a chat.
16:48Yeah.
16:49Sounds good.
16:50Yeah.
17:00While waiting for our couple to make their decision, I popped over to the Warragul Country Club
17:06to meet some of the local swingers, or should I say golfers, and get a feel for why this place
17:13is absolutely beloved by the locals.
17:17Women love coming to this country club, is that right?
17:20Women do love coming to this country club.
17:22We have 160 women that are golf members and 680 men and women.
17:28And you can play a social round and just pay the fee.
17:31That's nice.
17:32We've got all different membership fees to accommodate young boys and young girls
17:36and people who want to just be summer members.
17:39Or you can just come and have a social round of golf and you don't have to be a member.
17:43So we also have, we've had PGA major events here before too.
17:48So.
17:49I can imagine because that course is so beautiful that I can see on TV.
17:54Yeah, it looks fantastic on the television.
17:56It's glorious.
17:57And that's given us a great profile for our club.
18:00So, yeah.
18:01So what makes this place unusual?
18:03The Warragul Country Club is very central to Warragul.
18:07A lot of the other country clubs and golf courses around the area are out of town.
18:11So we're very fortunate and we have got a beautiful 18-hole course.
18:15It feels like you've just got it all here.
18:17Is that right?
18:18We do.
18:19We have a great cafe out there that gives us lovely casual food and coffee.
18:24The staff are fantastic, of course.
18:26Nice bar.
18:27Yeah, good bar.
18:28We've got a lovely bistro that you can come to as well.
18:31We have the lounge up here that's a nice relaxed atmosphere.
18:34We do have the best of both worlds here, I think, because we are only really 100 kilometres east of Melbourne.
18:40Yeah.
18:41We're 100 kilometres from the beach, 100 kilometres to the snow and a couple of hours drive to the Gippsland Lake.
18:47So we're very central and I think that's why people find it a great place to live.
18:55Well, Warragul clearly has lifestyle covered.
18:58But for Jackie and Peter, it all comes down to the right home in the exact right location.
19:05Let's see if they've made a decision.
19:07Well, I'm loving your local.
19:09This is beautiful.
19:10Yeah, it's fantastic, isn't it?
19:12This is a really beautiful community.
19:14It still does actually have that country town feel, but I also understand life is in installments, isn't it?
19:22So I understand the challenges that you are facing having a look at all of our different homes.
19:27Now, looking back on those three houses, how did you feel?
19:30Well, the first one, I mean, I loved...
19:34You liked that straight away.
19:36Yeah, I did.
19:37And I loved the layout and the pool at the front and the fact that there was no neighbours behind.
19:44Loved it.
19:45I loved the double doors on each side with light and air.
19:49Yeah.
19:50It's really terrific.
19:51It just was a tad too small and it was out of town.
19:55Yeah.
19:56Bit too far.
19:57Which leads us to house number two.
19:58Yeah.
19:59That one was in town, but was it your style?
20:02I mean, it had the great studio out the back.
20:04The location was spot on, but I wasn't that keen to have all the bedrooms upstairs.
20:10You know, with all the children and us, like everyone upstairs and just running up and down the stairs.
20:15You'd hear it all the time and yeah.
20:17Yeah.
20:18So that leads me to number three on the three acres, that incredible lifestyle property.
20:24It was only four minutes drive from town.
20:27I really liked the house and it made me second guess, you know, what we're trying to achieve.
20:33Yeah.
20:34There's so much thought in the layout of the house, in the way it had been finished.
20:38The garden was beautiful.
20:39The garage, the shed was just the bomb.
20:42Oh, the man cave.
20:43Yeah, absolutely fantastic.
20:45But I still want to go back to what we are true about and that is being walking distance to everything we need.
20:52There wouldn't be much point in moving from where we are to there.
20:58But yeah, but we need to be in town.
21:00We want our kids to be independent because where we currently are, there's no services.
21:05Really?
21:06Yeah, nothing.
21:07So if anything, what we've learned from our house hunt together is you are now confirmed,
21:14I want to be right in the heart of town.
21:16Yeah.
21:17Well, thank you so much for showing us your part of the world.
21:21I totally understand why you do want to live here because it's just so darn beautiful.
21:25Yeah.
21:26And I hope if anything that we have just allowed you that little sneak peek into the life that is awaiting you.
21:31Yes.
21:32All the rest of life, keep us posted as to what we decide to do.
21:35We will.
21:36Yeah.
21:37And thank you.
21:38Yeah, we've had an absolutely fantastic time.
21:39Yeah.
21:40Thank you so much for having fun with us.
21:42They may not have found the one today, but Jackie and Peter know exactly what they are looking
21:49for.
21:50They are completely inspired and bang on that Warragul is the perfect town for them.
21:57Their new home is just around the corner.
22:00Good luck in Warragul, Jackie and Peter.
22:03Good luck in Warragul.
