Quintessential Country
Sitting in the foothills of the majestic Mount Alexander, this much-loved period three-bedroom home offers just over 16 acres (approx) of undulating quintessential Australian country landscape. Ancient gums scattered in the fenced paddocks and a quiet and private location all make for the perfect escape to the country, with Castlemaine a 20-minute drive away, 26 minutes to Bendigo and Kyneton, a 1hr 28-minute commute from Melbourne and a 37-minute drive to Lake Eppalock for boating activities and sailing.

A sweeping driveway flanked by paddocks leads to the period home sitting elevated with a white picket fence and surrounded by an oasis of lush green grass and established Cypress and Ash trees. The front verandah allows for the ideal spot to sit and admire the ever-changing countryside, sunrises, sunsets, wildlife, and the migrating birds attracted to the large dam. The floorplan features entry into a large hallway highlighted by the stained glass surround of the front door, a north-facing formal living with dining with an open fireplace, large period windows overlooking the dam and surrounds, and adjoining this space is a second living area with an open fireplace and a solid wood heater. An unexpected twist to this home is the stunning contemporary kitchen with dining. Minimalist design, the sleek features include stone benchtops with a waterfall edge, a wall oven, an integrated dishwasher, soft close drawers, a walk-in pantry, and the "wow" factor is the induction cooktop concealed within the cabinetry. The home provides three bedrooms with built-in robes and views of the surrounding landscape and an updated bathroom with floor-to-wall tiles, a back-to-wall bath, a shower, a vanity, and a separate toilet. Completing the internal floorplan is an office with storage and external access to the back verandah and the exterior laundry/ mudroom with wall-to-wall cupboards. Additional details include a 6.6Kw solar system, five split systems, ceiling fans, external blinds with period details being polished floorboards, ornate plasterwork, high ceilings and double-hung windows. The property is on tank water, and the current homeowners use Starlink for reliable internet.

An established low-maintenance irrigated garden surrounds the home, a large Gazebo provides the perfect spot to entertain family and friends, and a cubby house will provide endless entertainment for the kids. The farmland includes fenced paddocks, sheds, and stockyards, the large dam has a jetty.

Nestled in the rolling landscape with granite boulders and ancient gums, the majestic Mount Alexander watching over you, this period property is your escape to the peace and tranquillity of the countryside. Making for the perfect home base or weekend retreat, perfectly presented, this much-loved home awaits its next chapter.
