It’s so refreshing to see a country home purpose-built for a country lifestyle. This beautiful Bamawn hobby farm is the ultimate rural retreat, combining practical amenities with plenty of heart. The four-acres are perfect for horses, having excellent fences, paddocks with water troughs and a one-megalitre stock and domestic water right. The 122m2 garage/workshop/air-conditioned multi-purpose rooms, plus toilet and sink, is currently used for a business, paving the way to also work from your own slice of paradise. Turn off the bitumen road to a long driveway between lush paddocks to find the house and garden. If you’re neat and tidy, enter straight into a soaring living space. Otherwise, the mudroom provides the place to kick off boots before stepping inside. Those soaring raked ceilings with timber beams feature throughout the entire home, in keeping with the wide-open spaces viewed from every window. A central kitchen unites two large living zones. The true heart of the home, the kitchen features a stainless-steel wall oven, electric cooktop and enough bench space for the whole family to cook together. Split system heating and cooling services the home, offset by the solar panels featured on the shed rooftop. There are three bedrooms with built-in-robes and a fourth bedroom/study with a sink and benchtop. Use the latter as a fourth bedroom should you need the space. The two-way bathroom is spic and span, the laundry leads straight onto the back veranda. The gardens surrounding the house have been lovingly developed and nurtured and will surely win the heart of the resident green thumb. While the roses lay dormant, jonquils blossom. Shade-loving plants thrive under the boughs of deciduous trees. Beyond the house yard there is shade for horses or livestock, and a row of gnarly old peppercorns fragrant the air. The address is located five minutes from Lockington, 10 minutes from Rochester, 20 minutes from Echuca, or 45 minutes from Bendigo. Live the best of country life, close to great communities, plus the mighty Campaspe and Murray River.
