Langwarrin: Property featuring one of Australia’s best sheds, as named by Scott Cam, up for grabs

A Melbourne acreage boasts a shed so awesome that television presenter Scott Cam featured it in his book of Australia’s top sheds. The property is now for sale, TAKE A LOOK.

The shed at 61 Kelvin Grove, Langwarrin, has plenty of room to park cars inside, hold a party or even host a barn dance.

A property in Melbourne’s outer south east featuring one of Australia’s best sheds and a flying fox is ready for a new owner.

In addition to a five-bedroom house, the 1.08ha Langwarrin address boasts a 331sq m shed built from bricks and reclaimed materials.

The shed contains a saloon-style bar, two open fireplaces, a sitting room and full bathroom.

A book titled Scotty’s Top Aussie Sheds, by television personality and celebrity builder Scott Cam, included the shed as one of the nation’s 20 foremost man caves when it was published in 2017.

The acreage’s owners, Daryl Baxter, wife Sally and their two adult sons, Jamie and Jason, have celebrated plenty of special occasions in the shed – with the flying fox providing additional fun for both young and young-at-heart visitors.

“We’ve had my son’s engagement, a couple of weddings and other events with family and friends in the shed,” Mr Baxter said.

“We’ve had about 150 guests in there but it will hold between 300 to 400 people.”

Mr Baxter said his family was selling the acreage at 61 Kelvin Grove, with plans for him and Sally to buy a smaller property.

“We’ll definitely miss the shed, it’s got to be one of the best sheds on the Peninsula,” he said.

The owners have planted the garden with plenty of trees.

The bar, pool table and mirror in the shed are available to buy in addition to the property, if a buyer is interested.

The shed features plenty of room for storage or vehicles – or it could be used as a dance floor.

The residence features wraparound verandas, a main bedroom with an ensuite and open fireplace and a renovated kitchen and bathrooms.

A guest room with its own ensuite, ducted reverse cycle airconditioning, a double garage,

48 solar panels and remote-controlled automatic front gates complete the package.

As the owner of the Somerville-based arborist company Treeman Melbourne, Mr Baxter has planted plenty of greenery in the garden.

“When we bought, there weren’t any plants so we put some trees in,” he said.

Rock work featured in the garden’s walls is another point of pride.

There’s a north-facing kitchen and living space that gets plenty of natural light.

Enjoy the green views – or just admire the shed – from the deck.

There’s a total of four bathrooms on the property, including one in the shed.

The property went under the hammer on Saturday, after being listed with a $2.2m-$2.4m asking range.

McGrath Langwarrin sales manager Darren Eichenberger said the house passed in on a $2.085m bid, although he is still in talks with the two bidders who took part in the auction.

And if the home doesn’t end up selling to one of the bidders, it will be available for private sale.

Set on 1.08ha, the acreage offers serenity and privacy.

The views are pretty good too.

Mr Eichenberger the property’s overall character and shed had appealed to buyers.

“It’s very private and has a look out over the treetops,” he said.

“I think, right now, someone has the opportunity to buy this property for a very realistic price,” Mr Eichenberger said.

“Prices will pick up when interest rates drop and we’re in a transitional market at the moment.”
