In one of Daylesford's quietest pockets, this corrugated-iron gem blends rustic charm with a modern, design-forward edge. Its modest exterior gives little away, but step inside and the space instantly opens into a home rich with texture, personality and warmth. Reclaimed timbers, bold splashes of colour, soaring pitched ceilings and a thoughtful floorplan create a place that feels both welcoming and quietly spectacular.
The open-plan living and dining zone sets the stage. Painted panelling, exposed beams and a striking antler chandelier bring character in spades, while the slow-combustion fireplace promises cosy winter nights. The kitchen is a masterclass in modern country style, with industrial lighting, patterned splashback tiles and generous workspaces perfect for everything from Sunday pancakes to a dinner party feast.
The ground-floor main bedroom offers a private retreat with its own ensuite, while a second dramatic bathroom – featuring twin basins, a walk-in shower and gleaming brass tapware – doubles as a design statement. A spiral staircase sweeps you to the loft-style second bedroom, tucked beneath the roofline with a picture-perfect window framing leafy treetop views.
French doors spill onto a brick-paved courtyard – the perfect stage for summer lunches, sunset drinks or evenings under a blanket of stars. On the 632sqm (approx.) allotment, you'll find room to spread out, garden or simply enjoy the peace and privacy. And here's the rare bonus – an existing permit for a second barn-style dwelling, giving you the option for a guesthouse, extra income stream or a private studio escape.
This home isn't just a collection of rooms; it's an experience. It's the blend of old-world craftsmanship and contemporary styling. It's the way light catches the timber grain, the way spaces invite conversation, and the way it feels instantly lived-in. It's the sort of place you could imagine on the pages of a design magazine, yet it holds the unpretentious comfort that makes country Victoria so magnetic.
From here, you're moments from Lake Daylesford's tranquil walking tracks, the botanical beauty of Wombat Hill Gardens, and the town's celebrated cafés, boutiques and galleries. Whether you're searching for a permanent home, a weekend getaway or an inspired investment, this is your invitation to step inside – and let Daylesford work its magic.
