Perfectly positioned in an elevated setting boasting magnificent distant views, this irresistible rural lifestyle property is substantial in every regard and features a large, luxurious 5 bedroom home offering around 30 squares of living space with resort style entertaining and extensive landscaping. Set in private and picturesque surroundings, the most surprising thing is that this beautiful country retreat is a mere 10 minutes from town.
The residence is adorned with hardwood floors and colonial style picture windows to enhance the connection with nature. The kitchen has been beautifully finished with a bulkhead ceiling, timber benchtops, stainless steel appliances and a raised servery and butler's pantry so that you can keep preparation and clean up hidden.
The kitchen is part of an open plan area which includes an informal dining area, with the staircase and under-stair storage closet, and then flows into a sitting room around the corner. Here you will find a freestanding Saxon wood heater.
A second sitting area or formal lounge is separated from the first by the lobby with its timber panelled front door with sidelights. The lounge room also has a freestanding wood heater on a partition wall separating it from the formal dining room which adjoins the kitchen from the other side. Throughout the home there are also ceiling fans, there are two evaporative coolers and three reverse cycle split systems so you are spoilt for choice with your heating and cooling preferences. You can use any of it guilt free too, thanks to the 6.6kw, 20 panel solar system with 2 inverters.
The lounge also adjoins the master bedroom providing an ideal parents retreat if you prefer to use it that way. The master suite has a large window on one wall and a sliding door on the next wall making the most of the spectacular views from this, the Northern end of the home, and giving you ready access to the verandah which is very likely to become one of your favourite places to be, or just to enjoy your morning cuppa and take in the sun. There is also, of course, a walk-in-robe and the luxury of a four piece ensuite, with a dual basin vanity and a deep bathtub, as well as sliding door access to the pool area.
As with all well designed houses, more bedrooms are at the other end of the home. There are 3 more on the ground floor which are all a good size with built-in-robes, from the wide hall which services these you also have access to a large laundry, separate toilet, three piece bathroom, large walk-in linen press and the oversized garage which is great for extra storage space. It has two automatic roller doors as well as another roller door at the other end providing direct access to the outdoor entertaining area.
Upstairs the landing is in use as an office and is flanked by two large rooms, all with raked ceilings accentuated by dormer windows. To one side is the fifth bedroom and to the other side is a games room. Both of these are very versatile spaces giving you options for whatever you enjoy.
Outside, the expansive resort style entertaining area is sure to be popular with family and friends, especially in the warmer months because of the large in-ground salt chlorinated, solar heated pool which is partially covered by a shade sail. The adjoining alfresco area is ideal for parties or family gatherings and has extensive paving, shade sails and stone steps that lead up into the garden, in particular, the small covered orchard, veggie patch and lean to potting area on the shed.
The area surrounding the home is most impressive and sure to please those with a passion for gardening, with a vast array of native plants and shrubs, abundant proteas, vines and meandering pebbled paths lined with pavers and dry laid stone walls which border tiered garden beds. Tucked away at the rear of the property there is also a small olive grove.
An abundant water supply is provided by three good sized dams and a gorgeous ornamental pond, all of which have excellent catchment from the natural runoff of the surrounding hills. In addition there is also a 3 mega litre water right along with two massive concrete tanks with a total capacity of 63,000 litres for domestic use.
The partly treed undulating land is very visually pleasing and for those with horses or other forms of livestock there are 4 well fenced paddocks, including the house yard, and a lovely flat paddock perfect for riding horses or lunging etc. Or perhaps a good practice footy field is more to your taste.
Excellent vehicle storage and shedding consists of the double lockup garage attached to the house, and further up, at the top of the property you will find a 20' x 30' Colorbond shed / workshop complete with power, lights and 2 sliding doors. This is where the shade cloth lean-to potting area is.
Ideally located in a whisper quiet semi-rural court with lovely neighbours, this property is very handy to everything that you could possibly need day to day, being situated only 10 minutes' drive from Lansell Square or the Kangaroo Flat shopping strip and just 20 minutes from Bendigo's CBD or the historic township of Maldon. For the kids Lockwood South and Lockwood Primary Schools are both only a stone's throw away, and for those who like to frequent the city it is a very easy commute to the Melbourne fringe or Tullamarine Airport in around 90 minutes.
Call today to arrange an inspection of this very appealing property, you will be glad that you did.
