Hidden beyond a private lane and meandering driveway, this captivating Victorian-inspired residence is a rare fusion of modern comfort and classic heritage charm, offering the quintessential country lifestyle in a setting of complete peace and privacy.
From first glance, the home evokes the romance of a bygone era, with wide, sweeping verandahs, leadlight windows, ornate archways and ceiling roses, all crowned by soaring 12-foot ceilings. Yet beneath its timeless façade lies a thoughtfully modern home, designed for contemporary living while honouring traditional craftsmanship. Expansive double-hung sash windows flood the interiors with natural light and frame uninterrupted rural vistas across the rear paddocks and undulating hills in the background- a daily reminder of the space and freedom that country living affords.
A grand entrance hallway sets the tone, flowing through to a generously proportioned floorplan that caters effortlessly to family life and entertaining. Four bedrooms, a separate study, open-plan living and dining, and an additional formal lounge or rumpus room provide flexibility for every stage of life. Comfort is assured in every season with split systems, ceiling fans, Nobo wall heaters and the cosy ambience of Coonara fires for winter evenings. Practicality has been equally considered, with abundant storage, a large walk-in linen, a laundry with external access and a functional mudroom. Quality window furnishings, Axminster carpets, timber floors and a charming country-style kitchen complete the picture.
Outdoors, the property delivers everything synonymous with an authentic rural lifestyle. Extensive garaging, workshops and shedding support a wide range of pursuits, while the land is superbly equipped for mixed farming and equestrian use. Thirteen well-fenced paddocks, reticulated water to troughs, a Sydney Blue Gum stable complex with three stables, tack and feed rooms, hot wash and day yards, plus an extensive menage, ensure exceptional facilities for horse enthusiasts. Multiple paddock shelters, dams and comprehensive water infrastructure further enhance the property's versatility.
Established gardens with sandstone edging are private, appealing and inviting, while Deep Creek access and fire and garden sprinkler systems provide comfort and create an idyllic and self-sufficient country environment.
All of this is set just over an hour from Melbourne and moments from the heart of Lancefield, renowned for its welcoming community, charming cafés, boutique shopping and nearby wineries. This is a home where modern living meets heritage elegance - a timeless country sanctuary designed to be lived, loved and cherished.
