19 Godwills Road, Mansfield VIC 3722

This big beautiful homestead is a picturesque 10 minute drive from town, and boasts spectacular views across the Delatite Valley to Mt Buller and Mt Timbertop to the East and the Blue Range to the North, which becomes a spectacular waterfall in heavy rain. You have all the joy of living on a big farm with barely a neighbour in sight, but there is just over 3 acres to maintain. The established native gardens attract some gorgeous birds and are now pretty much drought proof. So no watering, just a little mowing and your farm chores are done! That said there is plenty of room to grow vegetables, run some chooks and maybe keep a pony or two.
Inside the house there are 3 big bedrooms each with their own en-suite bathroom, plus a large study or 4th bedroom. There's a huge central entertaining area that opens onto the big North facing verandah with lovely views over the gardens and dam to the 'Blue Range'. The well appointed kitchen is in a separate informal living zone with another dining and living area. It's a great floorplan for a big family or even an accommodation business, with generously proportioned rooms, high ceilings and big windows helping create a light airy feel throughout the home.
2 wood fires keep the living areas nice and toasty warm in winter, plus the wide verandahs shade the home and help keep it cool in summer, in addition to the excellent cross ventilation and ducted evaporative cooling. The spa on the verandah is the perfect spot to relax after a hard day 'on the farm' and be amazed by the incredibly starry night skies. It is so peaceful here...you will not want to leave, so it's lucky that there's a great set up to work from home (with NBN Satellite service available).
You could set up a home office in the little studio that's a short stroll from the house or maybe convert it into guest accommodation. A little further down the driveway you will find a fenced utility area complete with 3 bay shed and workshop.
