Set out on approximately 15 acres, this bush retreat offers the astute buyer a private and relaxed lifestyle away from the bustle of city life, and all within 20 minutes of Bendigo. Located at the end of a no through road, the established home provides all the trappings of modern living but is nestled within a totally secluded country parcel of land.
The sweeping driveway takes you past a large dam up to a four-bay carport attached to the home, which allows for easy inside access. The home exterior has been recently modernised; now clad in a mixture of Colorbond and zinc, which allows the home to exude a country feel, while giving a very contemporary appearance.
Upon arrival at the home, you are greeted by an irrigated garden with stone pathway which leads you to the concreted entry. The house is north facing and as you enter the formal entry, light cascades through the windows and doors along the extended veranda giving garden vistas at every glance. The visible garden is designed to attract a multitude of birdlife, with resident fairy wrens, honey eaters and kingfishers just a few of the variety of fauna that are regularly seen, attracted to the native shrubs.
Turning left from the main entrance you are invited through to a galley style country kitchen. Stained timber benches framed by black tiles, and accompanied by modern stainless steel appliances (including dishwasher), provide a contemporary yet country feel to the home. A full height shelved pantry, free standing shelved cupboard, under-bench cupboards and long floating kitchen shelf provide ample storage for a very functional kitchen. From the kitchen you cross to the dining area, where external views that include the fully fenced yard extend to take in the visible corner dam.
Continuing down the house is the laundry (which gives external access to the carport), main bathroom (purposely designed and renovated to provide an all-encompassing family bathroom) and two guest bedrooms, both with built in robes.
Back at the main entry and to the right, is a spacious carpeted living room including all fittings for a wall mounted TV. A small foyer at the east end of the lounge leads to a third guestroom/study (offering two double fully shelved built in robes) to the right, and the master suite to the left. The master bedroom offers a walk-in-robe and three piece en suite, with oversized shower and hanging vanity.
The master suite also provides access to an undercover outdoor living area. This area is perfect for morning coffee while watching the busy birdlife, although a perfect vantage point for this is also available along the extended veranda.
The outdoor living area has been purpose designed with a rustic décor, including tongue and groove spotted gum flooring, repurposed corrugated iron sheets, spotted gum sleeper bar tops and wire mesh panels (to ensure unerupted views are maintained). The area is perfect for entertainment with lighting for a dart board, overhead LED lights, industrial wall fan as well as a wall mounted TV. Just outside this area is a fire pit, which also can be utilised as part of an extended entertaining area.
In recent years all windows and sliding doors have been replaced using EnergyTech single glaze Viridian Low E smart glass with modern black aluminium frames. CrimSafe security doors have also been added to the sliding doors.
The whole home has reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling, however this is complemented by a cosy lounge wood fire surrounded by slate tiles for the cooler months, as well as ceiling fans in the lounge and all bedrooms for the warmer months.
The home is all electric, however energy consumption is offset by a 6.5kw solar system with Fronius inverter (installed 2020).
