Situated at the end of a quiet no through road and set on a beautifully established 10 acre allotment is this superb lifestyle property on the outskirts of Bendigo and only a stones throw from the growing township of Marong. Featuring a stunning residence that is refreshingly unique to the area, live the lifestyle you have always dreamed of and immerse yourself in the type of relaxed country style living that everyone is craving in these uncertain times.
Space, tranquillity and seclusion is the order of the day – your own private slice of the rural landscape to escape the troubles of the world. Boasting all the accommodation and infrastructure you could need, the property will tick all the important boxes for quality home seekers. Fall in love with the rustic character and charm of the gorgeous main dwelling – a real credit and labour of love for our vendors who are the original owners of 33 years. In incredible order throughout, the home has been well maintained, renovated and extended through the years to be presented immaculately today. Featuring soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed beams and an amazing use of natural materials sourced from the surrounding regions including recycled brick, oregan cedar, redgum and stone, the home has a wow factor and appeal that sets it apart from most of its peers.
The floor plan can equally cater for a family or provide intimacy for a couple, meaning it is suitable to either end of the market. Boasting three bedrooms plus a study (or an extra bedroom), all have built in robes whilst the spacious master suite includes its own ensuite and walk in robe. The main bathroom services the rest of the home, and boasts shower, bath, separate toilet and a style the compliments the rest of the décor. Upstairs, an enormous attic space has a multitude of possible uses, inc kids play area, storage space, extra bedroom or home office/study. An extension to the home was added in 1996, providing more living space amongst other things. Two separate areas now provide flexibility – the first overlooking the pool has a cosy wood fire and bar in the corner ideal for entertaining or a parents retreat. The second forms part of the beautiful open plan section of the home – again with a wood heater as the focal point and high ceilings above, whilst newly added spotted gum floors underfoot are simply superb. Sharing this space is the recently renovated kitchen, blending a touch of modern flair to the rustic charm. Sleek white soft close cabinetry and pantry, awesome concrete bench tops, integrated dishwasher, 900mm cooking appliances and servery window are all notable features, whilst glass sliding doors provide a seamless link to the outdoor entertaining area beyond. Completing the floor plan is the laundry at the rear, whilst split system heating and cooling units control the temperature inside.
Outside, the entire 10 acres has been wonderfully established with beautiful native gardens and a eucalypt plantation to form a barrier from the neighbours properties. A second "multipurpose" dwelling constructed in 2006 is a real eye catching extra, and is semi self-contained with a bedroom and its own bathroom at the rear, and a huge open games room/man cave/or party room at the front with polished concrete floor, split system unit and windows overlooking the natural surrounds. Lovers of alfresco dining and entertaining will be blown away with what's here, with the enormous covered structure and deck area spanning one half of the home and overlooking the sparkling pool below. Front and rear verandas provide awesome vantage points to relax, cleared paddocks are great for the kids/pets or livestock, there are two dams that hold approx 1 meg each when full, there is a 20,000gl tank for water storage, a four car carport provides covered parking, and three good sized "drive through" sheds measure 6x10m, 6x12m (concrete floor/power) and 9x10.5m (concrete floor/power) with storage room/office respectively.
This outstanding property in a tightly held area lies between the two thriving communities of Marong and Maiden Gully and is convenient most amenities including schools, supermarkets and the excellent Marong Family Hotel. All this with the added bonus of being 12 minutes drive to the major city of Bendigo. And what about the future possibility to subdivide – a nest egg worth thinking about?
