For those who are seeking the privacy and serenity offered by a country lifestyle, this just may be the perfect retreat for you. A very pretty four bedroom home is set as well back as possible, on almost 7 acres, accompanied by an American Barn style garage and a small orchard, so you can enjoy your fresh fruit straight from the tree.
Imagine how nice it will feel knowing you are on the way home to that lovely meandering driveway that curves around the tree lined dam with its resident ducks, and takes you past stays of revegetated trees, to the peace and quiet of a low maintenance house that provides nice rural views of paddocks and trees, for you to enjoy in the fresh air.
Built by leading custom builders McCarthy Homes, the residence is very functional and comfortable. A beautiful entry foyer with leadlight patterned glass panels in the front door and matching sidelights, provides direct access to two separate living areas. To the left, through double sliding doors, is an ideal parents retreat with a lovely bay window, it adjoins the main bedroom with a walk-in-robe and modern three piece ensuite.
To the right of the tiled entry is the spacious lounge, which opens onto the dining area and in turn, to the kitchen. A clever floorplan sees the other three bedrooms, all with built-in-robes, well separated from the main, beyond the lounge, together with the large laundry, three piece bathroom and separate toilet that services these rooms.
The kitchen has had some refurbishment and will be delightful for preparing meals with a walk-in-pantry, a wall oven at optimum height under a microwave hutch, an induction cooktop, stainless steel dishwasher and plenty of cupboards and benchtop workspace.
Sliding door access from the dining area to the verandah which encompasses the home, brings you out to the nice big undercover entertaining area which has a lovely rural outlook and is a great spot to enjoy a cuppa as you indulge in beautiful sunrises all year round. In the cooler months you can do this inside, in the comfort provided from ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling.
From the front verandah the view is park-like and landscaping includes a beautiful garden bed with well established plantings, deciduous Manchurian pear trees provide shady cool greenery in summer, very pretty white flowers when in bloom, and of course allow the winter sun to warm the home.
The property has been largely revegetated, particularly along the fence lines, and trees which have been chosen for their varying qualities include lemon scented gum trees which incidentally were grown from seeds and maples. While the veggie beds want new stock, the fruit trees are on drippers and include apricot, blood plum, pink lady, royal gala, peach, lemon, orange and even almond.
Other noteworthy attributes include a carport under the roofline, the Barn style garage with power, lights, concrete floor, and a high set centre bay with a roller door. Also a large steel tank which provides over 90,000L of water storage, a dam, solar hot water and NBN.
Perfectly positioned to let you feel like you are well and truly out of town, and yet you will be surprised and delighted to find you are actually within walking distance from a local primary school, under 10 minutes drive to the Lansell Square shopping centre at Kangaroo Flat, not to mention the shopping strip with doctors, vet, pub, banks, supermarkets or the sporting grounds, pool train station and other amenities. For anything more you are only 18 minutes from the major regional city of Bendigo and conveniently on the Melbourne side of Bendigo.
