Wonders at Windemere
105 Musks Rd, Sandford
This truly is an incredible property. Nestled in between 40 acres of lush land, including 23 underground irrigated paddocks with water supplied from the properties 5 dams. With beautifully landscaped gardens, the 1905 homestead 'Windemere' has been wonderfully preserved and lies waiting for its next chapter to begin.
There really are so many wonderful elements to this property, inside the historic homestead, and outside also. The stunning farmhouse is large, boasting up to 5 bedrooms within the versatile floorplan, with an open plan living, kitchen and dining space that's full of natural light. The country-style kitchen will be the envy of many with a newly replaced oven, spacious benchtops, and rustic feel, reinforced by the fireplace and impressive mantlepiece feature. In fact, ornate and beautifully carved fireplaces feature throughout the home, bringing classic elegance to the sunny bedrooms and main living spaces. The bathroom is spacious, with antique-style bath, standing shower, and a striking wooden basin. The laundry and second toilet are separate for added convenience. A long hallway brings family and visitors through the home and into the main living areas, showcasing the high ceilings on the way. With exquisite, decorative patterns around all the light fixtures and magnificent polished floorboards throughout, the homestead has a distinctive antique feel yet has been brought up to date with newly completed renovations.
Time, much love and more than $650,000 of infrastructure has been invested in Windemere by the property's most recent owner, there is a real sense of the past and present coming together and working in harmony within this incredible home.

Moving outside the homestead, it's clear that much time and effort has gone into creating a serene escape from the stresses of city life, advocating a return to the land. From the main kitchen and dining space, an impressive newly renovated deck stretches out, offering the perfect place to relax and enjoy the country lifestyle. There are other quaint sitting areas dotted around the property, perfectly placed to enjoy the beautiful, landscaped gardens.
