6699 Midland Highway, Yandoit VIC 3461

Old world charm meets eco-friendly living in this off-grid rural lifestyle property situated midway between Castlemaine and Daylesford and minutes from the historic town of Guildford. Reminiscent of the period, the home was reportedly built in the 1920’s and relocated from Melbourne onto the 11.8-hectare site.

Original doors and wood panelling channel the era, coupled with generously proportioned rooms throughout; the home is spacious yet homely. A flexible floor plan is set over two floors offering bedrooms and bathrooms both upstairs and downstairs and there are surprises around every corner. Polished boards in the downstairs living and dining rooms create warm, inviting spaces and the country style kitchen has a walk-in pantry and plenty of room for a table. A sizeable master bedroom downstairs has an ensuite and access to the rumpus/family room, making it ideal for guest accommodation. The three further bedrooms are upstairs, all with attic access for storage and one with ensuite, walk-in robe and French doors to a balcony. There is a family bathroom downstairs and four toilets in total.

Outside you can sit on the front porch or the rear patio to enjoy the views and established gardens that surround the home. The property is fenced into six paddocks for livestock and there is a productive veggie patch, fruit trees and chicken coup. A seasonal creek meanders at the front of the property and a spring fed dam with good catchment takes care of the gardens and any livestock. There is a three-bay carport/workshop and plenty of rainwater storage. Opposite the property is the Upper Loddon Forest, ideal for horse riding or bushwalking and offering a private peaceful location. Guildford has all the general conveniences - store, café, pub, post office and various sport/social groups. For something more, a quick 15-minute trip and you are in Castlemaine or Daylesford.

If self-sufficiency is your goal, then this could just be the property for you.
