Set amongst the rolling landscapes of the Central Highlands, "Fairfield" is a heritage treasure reimagined for modern living in an Edwardian country cottage with timeless charm, spectacular gardens, and sweeping views to Babbington Hill and the Wombat State Forest.
Positioned on 4,294m² and located just 6 minutes to Trentham and 12 minutes to Daylesford, "Fairfield" offers the perfect balance of village life, nature, and convenience. Cafés, galleries, fine dining, and forest trails are all within easy reach, while Melbourne is an effortless 90-minute drive ideal for tree changers, downsizers, or those seeking a weekend retreat.
Originally built in the 1880s, this single-level residence has been lovingly restored and extended, preserving its character while adding contemporary comfort. Baltic Pine and reclaimed Tasmanian Oak floors, 3-metre ceilings, ornate cornices, ceiling roses, and period lighting create an atmosphere of warmth and history.
Two generous bedrooms, each with private French door access to the gardens, include stylish ensuites with timber vanities, seamless showers, and thoughtful finishes. A clever mezzanine in the second bedroom offers flexible space for guests or grandchildren.
The central lounge, warmed by a Ned Kelly wood heater, opens to a wide entertainer's deck with an outdoor spa, perfect for dining, gathering, or simply soaking in the panoramic views. At the heart of the home, a designer kitchen with stone benchtops, induction cooking, convection oven, and a well-planned island bench flows to the dining space, making entertaining easy and relaxed.
Practicality is built in with a mudroom/laundry, guest powder room, study nook, and attic storage.
The gardens are a showpiece in themselves. Designed by Kaz Krazovskis Landscaping and featured in the Lyonville Open Gardens for the past three years, they offer year-round beauty and tranquility. Mature gums, European specimen trees, curved brick beds, and a thriving edible garden with berry orchard and chicken coop create a private sanctuary. A separate 1,000m² paddock expands the possibilities for hobby animals or open space.
Additional features include:
• 3-car garage with 3-phase power, hoist & workshop
• Separate carport for additional vehicles or equipment
• 8.4kW battery-ready solar system
• 18,000L water tank, 10,000L CFA-compliant tank
• Bore-fed garden irrigation & backup generator
