1 Central Springs Road, Daylesford VIC 3460

Sheltered within the slopes of iconic Wombat Hill on a classic 1000 sqm ‘quarter acre' of enchanting mature gardens, this beautifully presented three-bedroom character home is discreetly hidden behind one of Daylesford’s largest and most striking rhododendrons.

The residence exudes traditional cottage charm, from an inviting lounge with open fireplace and split-system heating and cooling, to the adjoining country-style kitchen and dining room that makes the welcoming heart of the home, warmed by gas and second split system heating.

Two spacious bedrooms and a smaller bedroom, ideal for a study or guest space, flank the central bathroom with shower and toilet, while a rear laundry/mud room has a picture window on to the north patio. There, a detached outbuilding has the versatility to be a tranquil garden studio or home office.

The expansive rear garden is a private haven of mature ornamental trees and shrubs, where rhododendrons, dogwood, birch, Japanese maples and hydrangeas – watched over by a majestic century-old sycamore – display vibrant year-round form and colour. Secluded sitting areas offer sweeping eastern views framed by manicured lawns, lilies and violets, herbaceous borders and fruit trees that thrive in the region’s volcanic soil — a true delight for passionate gardeners. A convenient two-car carport provides undercover parking.

Perfectly positioned for an idyllic Daylesford lifestyle, the home is just a short stroll to the Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, the Sunday Market, and the much-loved Farmers Arms Hotel. With local galleries, boutiques, and cafés all within easy reach, this property captures the very essence of country living in one of Victoria’s most picturesque and sought-after locales.
