2963 Harmony Way Faraday

The Faraday Church circa 1873, a perfect piece of central Victorian history, sits on an elevated allotment of 911sqm with a borrowed landscape of rolling pastures, stands of ancient eucalypts and views to the granite outcrops of Mount Alexander. Originally the hub of the Methodist community of the hamlet of Faraday, this charming church of graceful proportions now offers comfortable living for those seeking a special retreat, or artists looking for inspiring studio space or gallery. The hamlet of Faraday sits in the shadows of the wine-growing region of Harcourt and offers ready access to Castlemaine, Melbourne and the village of Harcourt with all its amenities. With a flexible floor plan, including a north-facing kitchen/dining area and sunny covered north facing verandah for relaxing a perfectly proportioned church area with soaring ceilings, ancient timbers and gothic stained-glass windows – this divine space is ideal for an expansive living area, studio/gallery or main bedroom/retreat. Other features include a central bathroom, separate bedroom and sunroom/or second bedroom. External features a studio & laundry with power and water connected plus a single carport and garden shedding. Improvements include solid fuel and gas heating, internal and external blinds, ceiling fans, mains power, tank water and bottled gas and established gardens with features of stone and low maintenance plantings. This property has been lovingly maintained and is ready to stand proudly for another 150 years. Just one hour and 15 minutes to Melbourne this is the perfect place to watch the birds, relax and retreat.
