40 Raines Street, Axedale VIC 3551

Nestled in amongst established tall gums on just under an acre in the small rural community of Axedale is a reproduced colonial farm house of a bygone era. Just over 15 minutes from Bendigo, the commute is very easy.

Uncomplicated in design, the home boasts a traditional style large entrance hall opening up onto a formal living space and master bedroom, serviced by an ensuite and walk in robe. From the entry you can see through a cleverly positioned window to the rear of the home and the paddocks beyond. In between is a massive space housing the main living area, meals and country size kitchen which opens up onto a rear entertaining area. A separate wing comprises two additional bedrooms, bathroom, toilet and laundry.

Features include recycled red bricks, powder coated aluminium double hung windows with decorative horns and galvanised iron roofing. Polished jarrah timber flooring throughout the home complements the solid jarrah bench tops used in the kitchen, bathroom and ensuite. A contemporary element of the design is the dedicated office area, whilst being close to the hub of the home compliments the traditional elements of the home.

This home built in modern times has been carefully designed to capture the essence that is an Australian farm house.

Quality fixtures and materials were sought locally and internationally ensuring minimal future maintenance. This home exceeds the minimum 6 star energy requirement. The home recycles all water via a waste water treatment plant and collects all rain water for use throughout the home; there is also a 5 kW solar power system. As well as being the feature of the entry hall, the recycled red brick wall also provides thermal mass to minimise heating and cooling costs.

The rear verandah and separate decked area has outdoor living sorted. The established gardens are home to fruit trees, roses and Manchurian pears.
