Superbly sited on a beautiful 7.7-acre (3.14ha) Rural Living Zone allotment in picturesque Lockwood South and with the seasonal Spring Creek running along the rear boundary, this stunning lifestyle property offers the ultimate tree-change experience to share with your family and friends.
Set back from the road, an impressive, all-weather, tree-lined driveway winds through the property to arrive at the custom-built brick and Colourbond executive residence designed with indoor/outdoor living in mind. With its lovely garden setting, the appeal is instant and it’s readily apparent every attention to detail has been meticulously applied. Wide, covered verandahs embrace the home delivering a distinctly rural vibe, while the spacious interior, feature windows and generous proportions is all stylish, yet relaxed urban chic. The hallway entry leads to an expansive family zone that maximises the coveted northerly aspect, filling the space with natural light. Beyond is the entertainer’s kitchen. A show-stopper in black and white, sweeping black stone benchtops over an abundance of white gloss cabinetry complement ample above- counter cabinetry and exceptional butler’s pantry. Premium appliances include induction cooktop, electric wall oven, built-in microwave and dishwasher to deliver everything you need to create wonderful meals for family and friends. When you draw back the glass sliders in the dining space, multiple outdoor dining and entertainment options emerge. A lovely, covered, paved patio overlooking your own, fully fenced tennis court is perfect for casual meals, or take a short stroll across manicured lawns to a superbly appointed games and outdoor entertainment room with screening, open fireplace and wine cellar for the very best in dining and entertainment.
At day’s end, there are three beautifully appointed bedrooms to retire to. The king premier suite boasts dual aspect, an excellent walk-in robe and ensuite with dual vanity and storage plus glass sliders to the verandah. Set away from the premier suite and along a wide hallway, two further queen bedrooms with built-in robes share a stylish family bathroom while a dedicated study/home office with built-in shelving could be easily converted into a fourth bedroom if desired. A door at the hallway’s end opens to reveal a 12m x 3m indoor heated, saltwater swimming pool and spa. A wide pool deck, celestial windows and lighting make this space perfect for year-round enjoyment in absolute comfort at any time of day. Glass sliders connect the pool area to the lawns leading to the outdoor entertainment venue. Among the home’s numerous additional highlights are wood-fire and gas heating, ducted evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, quality audio system to the pool, verandah and living areas, powder room, well-appointed laundry with rear verandah access, an abundance of hallway storage and double remote access garage with direct entry to the home. A solar system for the home and pool feeds back to the grid and together with the state of the art Bio Cycle waste management system energy costs are reduced while leaving a lighter footprint on our planet.
Beyond the home, the grounds and infrastructure are of the highest quality. The property is fully fenced with rabbit proof fencing. The gardens are fully landscaped with terraces, paving and retaining walls making the outdoor spaces a delight. There are lovely shady spots to sit and relax, a fernery, feature trees and hedges, fully fenced vegetable gardens and a chicken palace. At the property’s rear are stands of native timber and a picturesque, lined dam with water diversion channels and weirs directing rainwater towards the dam. A fully fenced paddock with troughs and feed shed for stock is ideal for horses and alpacas. A bore with 3 vein desalination plant and holding/settlement tanks supports the property’s irrigation and sprinkler system, providing exceptional watering capabilities for the paddocks, gardens and your very own vineyard where 500m are given over to Yalumba Merlot and fruity chardonnay grapes. A built-in wine press ensures your private cellar can be filled with wonderful wine for you to enjoy. And to complete the infrastructure, a 21m x 7m workshop with sisalation, concrete floor, power, toilet and vanity plus a fully lined, and insulated guest studio with reverse-cycle air-conditioning is an ideal teenager’s retreat or guest venue. An extensive lean-to addition provides excellent under-cover storage for plant and machinery.
Properties of this calibre rarely come to the market. Within the Rural Living Zone, the location is exceptional with proximity to Bendigo (15 minutes), historic Maldon (10 minutes) and 8 minutes to the Calder Freeway connecting to both Bendigo and Melbourne. Add the exceptional nature of this property’s lifestyle credentials and infrastructure and the astute buyer will readily recognise this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a superior quality, resort-style, turn-key lifestyle. Life doesn’t get better than this.
