5661 Calder Highway BIG HILL VIC

Situated on the welcoming side of Big Hill and only fifteen minutes from the City of Greater Bendigo as the crow ambles is Rosewoode Estate, a magnificent federation style residence set back from the highway on 2.5 acres, protected by picturesque gardens and a natural creek line. Upon entry you are whisked away from the hustle and bustle of the modern lifestyle and transported to another world where rolling green lawns and beautifully landscaped gardens are the order of the day. Winding return paths allow passage through the grandeur garden space filled with botanic beauty, over 300 established roses, fruit bearing trees, wisteria covered arches, a fountain and a gazebo to name some. Majestic in size but low maintenance in reality, nothing that yourself upon a ride on lawn mower and the extensive town, tank and bore watering system cannot handle, or for those otherwise inclined, a hired groundsmen’s delight. Return verandas skirt the character filled family home with dual functionality, cleverly split in two by the central Tasmanian oak kitchen, formal/parental living on one side and everyday/family/kids living on the other. The formal/parental living zone, to the left looking in, features a formal lounge through double doors with gas log fire, a large master bedroom with walk in robe and en suite, formal dining and an office. The formal lounge and main bedroom harbour views of the front garden and water fountain whilst the office and dining look through to the pool. Central to the family living experience is the aforementioned Tasmanian oak kitchen complete with an informal meals area. All the modern conveniences of everyday living feature here and family/festive catering is a breeze when coupled with purpose built shelving, island benching and immense cupboard space. To the right looking in is the everyday/family/kids wing. Directly off the kitchen is a mammoth lounge come family room. Double doors give way to three further bedrooms all with built in robes and ceiling fans, a family bathroom and large laundry. It is here where the fondest of family memories will be made whilst the family unit grows casually together. Ducted heating and cooling provide year round comfort with ducted vacuum, ceiling roses, decorative cornices, ornamental arches and 9’6 foot ceilings also featuring. Outside is an entertainer’s paradise. The large paved and covered alfresco is perfect for every occasion and the children/grandchildren can splash safely under your watchful gaze, protected from the hot Australian sun in the adjoining shade clothed, in-ground, solar heated pool. Extensive shedding is all about. Forming part of the residential roofline is a long double remote garage with internal rear access. A four bay shed with workshop and a three bay open shed are in close proximity to the residence. Store, build, restore, entertain, the choices are all yours! The property is perfect for all occasions and the serene and tranquil gardens play regular host to local weddings. Perfect for upsizing from the urban scrawl or downsizing from the land this unique property in a semi rural setting on the doorstep of the city is well worth your consideration.
