4 Dempsey Street, Sailors Gully VIC 3556

If you are looking for land to build while having a simple home with a big yard to live in, look no further than this cute and quirky cottage.

Settled on a level lot approx. 4180m² (1 acre) with a separate studio and assorted shedding, the property offers various opportunities for outdoor lovers, creative types or seekers of a sustainable way of life.

You can enjoy the serene property just as it is, or you might choose to build a new home at the front of the block and rent the cottage or maybe extend/renovate it further.

The cottage has two bedrooms, one with a built-in robe, the other with a freestanding cupboard. The living areas include a gas-heated lounge, a kitchen with a retro slow-combustion stove plus a modern gas upright, and cupboards. There's a separate laundry, sunroom and WC, with a pedestal hand basin and shower over the bath in the bathroom.

The three-room studio is an ideal space for creative pursuits or a teen retreat. It consists of a kitchenette, a small storeroom and a vast open area with rows of North-facing windows.

Both the high-roof 6m x 10m shed/workshop and the double garage have power connected and concrete floors. The double garage even has three-phase power connected, perfect for the tradie and handyman or convenient for a future build.

There's a henhouse and ample room to grow vegetable or fruit trees with town water and a large rainwater tank.

Enjoy a quiet morning ramble with the dog in the nearby Greater Bendigo National Park, a drink or meal at the Allies Hotel or take the five-minute drive to Eaglehawk for shopping, schools.

This is a style of home that doesn't come along often, and it won't last long!
