Situated just minutes from Bendigo this well set up lifestyle property ticks all the boxes with a large family home nestled in a beautiful well established setting amidst picturesque lush green paddocks, with an excellent water supply and substantial shedding, the largest big enough for two B-Doubles with the doors shut, ideal for all of your farm machinery.
Offering complete privacy at the end of a magnificent tree lined driveway that beckons you in to these gorgeous surroundings, a lovely ranch style homestead makes an outstanding first impression. The home boasts wonderful features such as wrap around lace verandahs, vaulted timber lined ceilings and large picture windows for light filled rooms and wonderful views over the garden.
The home provides very comfortable living for the whole family with four large bedrooms, each with lovely outlooks, the main serviced by a luxury three piece ensuite featuring a corner spa and oversized shower as well as a his-and-hers walk-in-robe, the rest serviced by a family bathroom with a skylight, bath and separate shower, also a separate toilet off the laundry. Two of the remaining bedrooms have built-in-robes and another large versatile room could be a fourth bedroom, office, rumpus, hobby room - you choose.
A very functional floorplan incorporates an open plan kitchen with a spacious meals area, the kitchen is well-appointed with a gas cooktop and electric oven, Bosch dishwasher, walk-in-pantry, timber cabinetry and a large garden window so you can unwind as you prepare nutritious meals and delicious snacks.
Two separate living areas conveniently separated by, and with access to the tiled foyer, help to maintain a harmonious family life. On one side is a family room with a large Coonara wood heater and wonderful views over the garden, on the other side is an L-shaped lounge with a beautiful bay window, a vaulted ceiling and a versatile area which could be used as a formal dining area with direct access to the kitchen, though it is currently in use as a study. For instant heat a gas wall furnace is installed here, ducted evaporative cooling will ensure your comfort as it warms up and ceiling fans add that little bit extra. New carpets have also been installed throughout.
Outside you will find shady wrap around verandahs and a large Spanline covered paved alfresco area complete with a built-in-barbeque which provides a great place to entertain family and friends as the kids and pets play in the secure rear yard. The area surrounding the home is a lovely green grassy haven, a vast array of trees and plants create a very private setting and are maintained by a watering system. Ample water is supplied through a large dam fitted with a pressure pump together with a 3.6 mega-litre water right from the Coliban system. This in conjunction with four large tanks more than caters for domestic use.
The property is very scenic overlooking the Bullock Creek towards the rear and beautiful creek flats on the neighbouring property. It is well set up for running cattle and horses with handling made easy through heavy duty stock yards and a cattle crush. Five rich fertile paddocks with an interconnecting laneway have water troughs in each. Tree lined boundaries are aesthetically pleasing and provide great shelter for stock while double fencing further assisted with electric fencing will assure peace of mind.
Excellent vehicle storage comprises an oversized double lockup garage with remote roller doors under the roofline of the home along with a single carport attached to the opposite end. Substantial shedding includes a massive 30x12x6m B-Double size drive through shed with a 6' 25mpa slab, power, high bay lighting and a mechanics pit. Other sheds include a 12x6m shed divided in the middle, one end with a workshop, work benches, shelving and a pot belly stove, the other with a large barn style door suitable for storage of a caravan or ski boat. A third shed measures 9x6m and is ideal for enclosed storage of tractors, horse floats and the like.
Access to the property has been well thought out with two driveways in place to keep the big shed separate from the home and there is ample room to manoeuvre. The location is extremely handy with easy access to the Calder Alternate Highway. It is very handy to everything you might need day to day and for the kids, school bus pickup is available nearby with a choice of Marong or Lockwood Primary Schools.
