77 Springvale Road, Lockwood South VIC 3551

Embrace the country dream just 22km from the heart of Bendigo and 17km from historic Maldon.

This idyllic 21- acre property offers the peace and space to do life your way. And at the centre of the shady, scenic acreage is a classic country homestead with all the warmth and charm you're craving.

The land is ideally designed for a rural lifestyle with great fences, a fish-filled dam, a small shearing station, three large water tanks for the house and smaller one for the garden, plus four car spaces across the garage and carport.

The home itself is built for a family, or for weekend guests seeking respite from the outside world. A full length, wrap-around veranda and a wide entrance hall with built-in storage welcomes you home.

There are three bedrooms; two have new carpet, while the main has beautiful timber floorboards, split system heating and cooling, a large walk-through-robe, and ensuite with wide shower.

A front, open-plan living room is a wonderful 9 x 4.4m. In addition to more polished floors is a wood heater, set within an exposed brick wall.

Behind this, a second open-plan space houses a dining or family room and a timeless solid timber kitchen. The kitchen has a stainless-steel wall oven, electric cooktop and ample bench space thanks to a breakfast bar and an island bench.

The four-piece bathroom is in excellent order, and the large laundry is a practical space to kick off boots after coming in from the paddocks.

The home is looking fresh thanks to some new paint work. Less evident is the recently-replaced house water pump.

Bring your brood, your pets, your chooks and your plans for a big life to Lockwood – a rural suburb that packs a punch with two great schools and an easy commute to Bendigo.
