The other is the family room which forms part of the spacious open plan kitchen/dining and living zone, where most of your daily interaction will occur.

Externally, the property offers equally as many talking points. A private tree lined driveway is accessed from both Hamilton Way and Bendigo-Maldon Road. There are existing paddocks in place with electric fencing and troughs available for a pony for the kids, or other animals to keep the grass down. A recently constructed 3 bay garage/shed is ideal for car/caravan or boat storage, and has roller door access, extra tall middle bay, concrete floor and power. At the rear is a lean to which is great for wood storage or a trailer/boat. There is a dam towards the bottom of the block that is full and has excellent catchment, whilst a bore on the property produces 30L of water per minute to assist with irrigation and other water needs.
