278 Tannery Lane, Mandurang VIC 3551

Stunningly serene 2.923Ha (7acres) property will captivate and inspire those seeking an escape from the overworked, stressed rigours of the past couple of years.

Only 10 minutes drive from Bendigo CBD, this tranquil sanctuary offers total privacy yet still enjoys proximity to all city and Strathfieldsaye amenities.

Set at the end of a winding driveway, the residence built by a meticulous European craftsman displays soaring clipped-gable roofs and casement windows under iron awnings.
Inside, impressive features continue with reclaimed timber doors, exposed wooden beams, white-washed walls and Victorian ash floors.

Entry is through a slate-tiled breezeway flanked by two separate sections. The main home features expansive open-style living with the recently renovated provincial farmhouse-style kitchen boasting a substantial stone-topped island bench, a 90cm Smeg gas/electric range, dishwasher, walk-in pantry and ample cabinetry.
Extensive living and dining rooms are warmed by a double-sided open brick fireplace, Nobo panel heating and winter sun streaming through the north-facing windows.

The main bedroom includes a luxurious updated ensuite with twin vanities, a walk-in shower and a separate WC. A walk-in robe, a study/parents' retreat and a charming box-bay window seat overlooking the front garden.

The second section features an updated powder room, bathroom, large laundry and walk-in linen store. Timber stairs lead to two second-level bedrooms (WIR/ceiling fans), creating the ideal teen or guest wing.

The vine-draped pergola-covered front terrace is perfect for enjoying long lunches or evening drinks while you take in the abundant birdlife darting over the gardens and lake-like dam.
External improvements include a double carport and a twin garage complex with a 7.6m x 7.6m workshop/studio with loft storage ideal for businesses, artists or hobbyists.

The property enjoys a secure water supply with an underground tank capacity of 90K litres plus Eppalock Pipeline allocation of 2.1Mgl and the approx. 2mgl dam.

Relax in the treed outlook from every aspect, whether lazing by the wood fire or lounging under the pergola where you can enjoy the connection with your native neighbours including, rosellas, wrens, owlets, echidnas and kangaroos.

If you're on the hunt for a rural sanctuary within easy reach of everything you need, this is it!
