300 Blakeley Road, Barkers Creek VIC 3451

Located in a quiet bushland setting only 4km from Castlemaine, this classic 1920s timber farmhouse has been in the same family for over 50 years. The three bedroom home has a country-style modern kitchen/dining with Asko dishwasher and split system, front living room with OFP, formal sitting room and front door onto the very wide, wisteria-covered verandah. Elsewhere in the house, there's a main bathroom with spa-bath and shower, laundry and rear family room with French doors that open onto the rear verandah-patio with granite stone walls. Outside, the gardens are bordered by gums and pines, with a front lawn and rose beds, garage and sheds/workshop area, two dams and two separate paddocks across the 5 acres. The bonus to this property is at the back of the garden: a bungalow/studio, with kitchenette, slate floor, sitting area, verandah, bedroom with robes, bathroom/shower. Connected to town water and power (and with solar power); this semi-rural property only minutes from town is a perfect country home.
