Set on a level and practical ten acres with two dams, this incredibly well-kept rural holding offers a rare combination of space, shedding and dual accommodation. The main residence features a durable pine frame, while the window lintels and roof frame are constructed from solid hardwood. It sits quietly amongst established surrounds, while a second dwelling provides genuine versatility for extended family, guests or rental income. With extensive infrastructure already in place and the convenience of being on a sealed road just five minutes to Eaglehawk shops and facilities and only a short drive from Bendigo’s edge, this is a property that will appeal to families, hobby farmers, tradespeople and anyone looking for room to breathe. The main home is clean and practical, featuring multiple living zones. The front bedroom enjoys a lovely outlook and is fitted with a small split system along with two built-in robes. Two further bedrooms offer excellent storage with built-in robes, the carpet here is in good condition. The central bathroom is original but entirely functional, equipped with a bath, basin and toilet along with an IXL heat, light and fan unit. Living space is generous, with a large, tiled family room warmed by a double-sided gas log heater. A split system and ceiling fan ensure year-round comfort, while a sliding door opens directly to the tiled and enclosed sunroom. A second lounge is carpeted and spacious, centered around a brick mantel that forms part of the dual-sided heater and has an adjacent formal dining room or media room for the modern family. There’s a third living space or second sunroom near the front of the home with lovely garden views. The kitchen retains its timber and tile finishes and includes an electric wall oven, electric hotplates, rangehood and a single sink with a view across the yard. The laundry is tiled and practical with built-in storage, space for a freezer and access through to a second bathroom that includes a shower, basin and toilet. Throughout the home, the sense of solid construction is evident, and although many elements remain original, everything is clean, cared for and ready for immediate use. The second dwelling adds another layer of value. Updated around ten years ago and barely lived in, it features verandas front and back, aluminium windows and a modular carport. Inside, it offers a comfortable lounge with a large front window and wall air-conditioner, two neat bedrooms with built-in robes, a bathroom with separate toilet and a 900-millimetre shower, and a kitchen-meals area with an electric upright cooker, pantry and overhead storage. The laundry has a new sink, external access and a second toilet, making the shack well suited to guests or rental use, with an estimated return of approximately $350 per week. Outside, the shedding is outstanding. A double garage with remote-controlled doors sits beside the home, while two adjoining 6m x 9m sheds with concrete floors and power provide excellent workshop or storage options – one fitted with an automatic double door and the other with manual swing doors. A dedicated caravan port offers a paved 3.5 x 6m area with a skillion roof extension for added cover. Further infrastructure includes a large shed with two stables, complete with loose boxes and a tack room, and a separate 9m x 4m machinery shed with an aviary incorporated. A huge four-car shed, and adjoining carport provide even more vehicle accommodation, while a dog run, chook pen and additional storage bays, round out the impressive list of outbuildings. Water is well catered for with three 5,000-gallon (22,500lt) tanks and an additional 2,000-3,000-gallon tank supplying both the house and garden. This unique property delivers the complete lifestyle package: acres of usable land, reliable water, extensive shedding, a solid main residence and a fully equipped second dwelling. Whether you need space for animals, machinery, business operations or simply the freedom of country living, 157 Jobes Lane offers exceptional value and potential in the heart of Woodvale.
