Nostalgia abounds this slice of history on approx. 19.5 acres of pastoral farming zone with lovely undulating views of natural bush in an extraordinarily peaceful and quiet location. The property offers true opportunity to preserve or be creative. Offering two cottages circa early 1900s, an original red brick miners cottage with stone extension and earthed roof, and a weatherboard cottage, this property is beckoning a new custodian after 50 years in the same family.

The red brick miners cottage has a front living room with working fire place, kitchen with wood stove and double doors to a bricked courtyard area and a bathroom with a shower over the bath, and a toilet. The stone extension with large picture windows throughout and beamed ceilings was added approximately 20-30years ago and has a dining room with built-in storage cupboard and living space with wood fire. The stone exterior has an earthed roof providing insulation and the fascinating option of growing vegetables. Next to this is the original bricked well and a stone building with a tree bark roof thought to be part of the original dairy.

The weatherboard cottage has two small front bedrooms one with a working fire place, a central hallway which leads to an open plan living/dining/kitchen with working fire place and dado paneling throughout. The kitchen has a gas cooker and a wonderful large north facing window to the treed garden. A bathroom with shower over the bath and toilet, and a combined laundry with direct access to the outside complete the cottage.

Both cottages have their own septic tanks, a combined water tank and recently had their solar power systems removed due to upgrade requirements so new solar panels and batteries will need to be added. Please note the septics may need an upgrade to meet modern standards, or to cope with increased use. Both cottages have gas bottles for gas cook tops, however gas hot water systems will require upgrades.

The infrastructure offered comes with no guarantee as to the level of function. The property was lived in part time by a farmer who passed away 7 years ago, taking with him any knowledge about pipes, septics and anything else to do with the property. In need of some updated love these cottages could be simply quite lovely. Beautiful gums sit quietly and the pastoral area has 4 fenced paddocks and two dams. There is a large open machinery shed and a dilapidated shearing shed for character.

Offering the best of central Victoria with only 20 minutes to Daylesford, Malmsbury and Guildford, 25 minutes to Castlemaine and 11 minutes to the wonderful Glenlyon General Store a providore offering great food, coffee, wine and general provisions. All of this and only 1hr and 35 minutes from Melbourne.
