Located in the pristine countryside of Victoria’s Central Highlands comes this amazing opportunity of a rural lifestyle of a beautiful homestead circa 1890 of the gold mining era on approx. 20 acres with fenced paddocks and dam included. Just 20 Minutes to Daylesford, 10 minutes to Creswick and 25 minutes to Ballarat.
Set back from the road this impressive homestead has been kept in excellent condition with all the period features you would expect, including ornate fireplaces, pressed metal ceilings, ornate cornice, bay windows, wide verandas and an exceptional Lead Light grand entrance.
This beautiful main residence is of grand proportions offering three large bedrooms one with ensuite, two with handcrafted wood built in robes. The formal living room with ornate fireplace and split system with an option to convert to a fourth bedroom if required. The large billiard room has polished timber flooring with double doors opening onto the rear entertaining deck with a fully-fenced outdoor spa. The formal dining room has an ornate fireplace and serving nook through to the kitchen and a separate study with access to wine cellar. The rear section of the house features a spacious sun bathed open plan kitchen, meals and living area with split system, flowing to another decked area as well as a large laundry area and powder room with decorative fixtures and fittings.
Outside you will find a beautiful fruit producing orchard and manicured gardens and neat hedging, a well maintained croquet lawn next to a large open grassed area lined with mature pine trees and a self-contained cottage complete with veranda, two ensuite shower rooms, kitchenette and living area with a solid fuel heater. The open space would make a fantastic horse arena and/or further grazing land for livestock. Closing out this magnificent property is a four car garage, 29m x 30m multi-purpose shed with power, approx. 34,000 litre tank, its own underground spring water supply.
Only 200m away from the main residence there is a country style cottage with separate road access perfect for private guests or added income via Air BnB or fixed term tenancy on its own title of approximately 1acre. The interior has a modern kitchen dining living area with solid fuel heater and split system, two bedrooms, each of which has a full ensuite with spa baths. Another additional feature is the shearing shed located next to the cottage which also could be restored and refurbished back to its former glory and would make an ideal reception area for weddings or parties.
You have the main residence and two cottages on two titles of which we are selling together.
