An early settler property spanning approximately 20 acres, "Yaamba" holds a special place in Riddells Creek history, with original bluestone walls, edging, a prayer plate and fishpond beautiful reminders of the property's many iterations over the years, all against a spectacular backdrop with views to the Macedon Ranges, Mount Charlie, and Mount Eliza.
An expansive double-brick residence where every room has a view, the four-bedroom, two-bathroom home includes an attached self-contained wing to accommodate guests, family or Airbnb visitors, comprising a beautiful bedroom, ensuite, spacious kitchen/living, and an integrated garage.
The main section of the home presents attractive rural character, expressed through a mixture of slate and solid polished hardwood flooring, with four fireplaces in total including one with decorative pressed metal surrounds, and two with 1920's Huon pine mantels reclaimed from an old bakery (including combustion clean-air wood-heating with climate-controlled inverter).
Three bedrooms are serviced by a central bathroom, with multiple living spaces incorporating two lounges including one with a study nook, a sun-filled living, and generous entertainer's kitchen featuring solid timber cabinetry, a dishwasher, and Savoir Fair 900mm-wide oven/electric cooktop. To the main house is also a double garage, ceiling fans, and split system cooling.
The call of the great outdoors ushers to an undercover entertaining area plus a paved area, an outdoor wood stove, and fire pit area. Magnificent English gardens heighten the sense of occasion with mature Claret Ash and Golden Ash trees, roses, manicured hedges, and expanses of lawn-perfectly suited for marquees to host romantic weddings and wonderful summer garden parties, with plenty of room for a game of cricket.
Picture-perfect moments abound, with the extremely private formal grounds undulating to natural bushland reaching to Main Creek, which flows all year round. There are Pin Oaks from Bright to the boundary, while the large dam is home to Yellowbelly and Trout, with fruit trees and vegetable gardens further enhancing the property's lifestyle appeal.
Perfectly suited for livestock with 12 paddocks (11 fully fenced, with water troughs to each) and abundant water supply of 36,000-gallon capacity water tanks and a bore. Infrastructure also includes a powered 5-bay shed, a 3-bay shed, single garage and 2-car carport, storerooms, and a solar automatic front gate.
Zoned for Gisborne Secondary College and Bolinda Primary School and only a 5-minute drive to Riddells Creek township boutique shops, supermarket, cafes, and train station, this gorgeous property offers endless recreation pursuits in a completely private setting. Prepare to fall in love!
