“Why we like the property” (agent perspective) Quintessentially country, this character family homestead set on over 1 acre of established gardens is an exciting opportunity to set down roots in a central Macedon Ranges location only moments from Hanging Rock. Presented with all the space, entertaining and zoned accommodations a growing family needs and more, multi-generational families will see the value in the surrounding space and the promise of a much-loved home for generations to come. “What the property offers” (property perspective) Wrap-around verandahs and colonial-style charm introduce a welcoming home on a generous 3.75-acre (approx.) parcel of land framed by established gardens and a free-flowing floorplan combining generous indoor living with expansive outdoor entertaining zones. Soaring raked ceilings, dado walls and exposed brick accents highlight a family-friendly floorplan from the onset. With generous living and dining stretching the breadth of the home, there is ample room for the largest family celebrations, no matter what time of year. Toasty warm in winter from superior hydronic heating, the home is cool and breezy in the summer courtesy of the generous verandahs and sliding doors, allowing all to enjoy the massive, north-facing covered alfresco entertaining space fit with inbuilt pizza oven. The central gourmet kitchen is set at the heart of the home and features stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar, custom joinery and walk-in pantry with a lovely rural aspect from dual bay windows and complemented by a family-sized laundry and powder room. Generous accommodations are zoned for maximum family appeal with the added convenience of a ground-floor master with walk-in robe and full ensuite, whilst second-level bedrooms share a central family-sized bathroom and rumpus. The fifth bedroom and adjoining study offer the potential to design a guest suite for extended family or visiting friends to relax and stay a while. The surrounding grounds offer everything expected from an acreage property of this calibre with functional outbuildings including extensive workshop and garaging for multiple vehicles, a studio with kitchenette, vegetable plots, fenced paddocks and dam completing the picture. “What you love about the property” (vendor perspective) The property is very private and offers a place of sanctuary for everyone. The home itself is open and laid back, always welcoming and comfortable with everyone being able to have their own space but come together with friends and family. The size of the property allows you to adapt the surroundings to what is important to you and your family, but the location is ideal for those who require surrounding schools, with close by village shopping, cafes, farm gates and access to the freeway meaning you’re still as connected as you would like to be.
