This charming, historic property has been thoughtfully restored and modernized, celebrating both its heritage and artistic character. An oasis of colour and creativity, it offers a peaceful retreat from the everyday.
The sprawling gardens are equally enchanting. What was once 4 hectares of bare paddocks has been transformed into lush flower beds, an array of fruit trees, a bocce court, cozy nooks perfect for relaxation and a pizza oven situated in the outdoor living area. Chickens and geese roam freely, adding life to the beautifully curated grounds filled with mature exotic, native, and deciduous trees, as well as meandering pathways, productive vegetable gardens and large sheds. Birdsong fills the air, and with the house set back from the road, privacy is ensured.
Inside, this character-rich 19th-century home bursts with personality, featuring whimsical details and nostalgic touches. With three bedrooms and two living areas or a fourth bedroom, each room is a testament to both history and creativity.
A large dam recently expanded to capture maximum rainfall and runoff from the roadside and paddocks, adds to the property’s sustainability. The land is spacious enough to support a small number of livestock, including sheep and their lambs. The current residents include four milking goats and a sheep and the property has previously accommodated a house cow with a calf at foot.
For those with farming or hobby interests, a three-bay machinery shed is located at the rear of the property, along with a large workshop and tool shed conveniently positioned near the house. Additionally, an old barn, once used for grain storage, adds to the property’s rustic charm and functionality.
Beyond the property, the surrounding area offers natural beauty and outdoor recreation. Lake Wooroonook, just 6km away, is a popular spot for swimming, fishing and boating and the views from Mount Jeffcott are particularly breathtaking, especially when the canola fields are in full bloom.
This unique property is a seamless blend of old-world charm and artistic flair—an ideal haven for those seeking beauty and inspiration from this timeless landscape and a sustainable lifestyle.
Situated on a 4.01Ha allotment (just under 10 acres) in Jeffcott North which is located approx. 231 km from Melbourne and situated a 15-minute drive from both nearby towns Donald and Charleton and a 1 1/2 hour’s drive from Bendigo.
