A Welshmans Reef location with spectacular views over rolling hills and across to Cairn Curran Reservoir and Mount Franklin is the setting for this gorgeous 19.92 acre (8.063 ha) lifestyle property. Strategically sited to take full advantage of the block’s dimensions, the charming two level brick and iron home with steeply gabled roof is set within a lovingly created botanical paradise. Surrounded by wide, covered verandahs, the home opens to a free-flowing interior, feature windows and sliders allowing natural light to stream in throughout the day and fill the interior with tranquil garden views. Generous dimensions throughout combine with timber-lined ceilings, dado paneling and crisp white detail to deliver a warm and inviting ambience, thoroughly at one with the home’s picturesque setting. At ground level, the triple aspect family living and dining spaces embrace an entertainer’s kitchen, white cabinetry under sweeping white benchtops, delivering an abundance of storage and preparation space. Electric cooking, dishwasher, microwave cabinet, Walk-in pantry and expansive breakfast bar make family or large-scale gatherings and entertainment a delight. Step out to an alfresco patio with paving and vine fringed pergola: a simply beautiful space for outdoor dining and entertainment overlooking manicured lawns and delightful stone-walled terraced beds; a kaleidoscope of colour, form and texture. Also at this level a queen suite with built-in robes and French doors to the verandah; two-way ensuite with verandah access, plus a well-proportioned laundry and second toilet.
Atop the beautiful timber staircase, two characterful queen bedrooms each with built-in robes fan off a spacious landing/casual lounge area. The centrally located shared bathroom boasts shower, vanity and toilet. The home’s surrounding gardens boast numerous ‘rooms’ with sunny open spaces, meandering paths through native shrubbery, colourful garden beds, boutique Hazelnut grove and prolific birdlife. Befitting a home of this quality are numerous additional features including split-system heating and cooling, wood-fire heating, ceiling fans, beautiful slate tiled floors, spacious study nook, double carport, solar panels feeding back to the grid and ample tank water for domestic use.
Beyond the home and gardens, the fully fenced acreage is gently undulating, largely cleared to grazing and dotted with stands of timber and shade trees. Divided into two paddocks, each with a substantial dam for stock and paddocks, the property lends itself to use for horses, alpacas, a few sheep, cattle or just as a private and idyllic retreat. Substantial infrastructure by way of double garage and separate workshop, each with concrete floor and power offer ample space for plant, machinery, horse float, feed, tack and conversion to stables if desired. A pump and irrigation system allows dam water to be piped to the gardens, ensuring a lush landscape throughout the year.
Proximity to Cairn Curran Reservoir will appeal to boating and water sports enthusiasts while the regional communities of Maldon, Newstead, Castlemaine, Daylesford and Bendigo are all within easy reach. With everything you need to live the life of your dreams, offered for the first time, this stunning property perfectly combines luxury, lifestyle and location, making it an exceptional opportunity not to be missed.
