Situated on the edge of Pilchers Bridge Nature Conservation Reserve, this idyllic property is tucked away high on a lovely, picturesque street in Sedgwick, less than 20 minutes drive from Bendigo’s CBD. The property, centrally located on 7.1 acres of tranquil bushland, is the perfect private hideaway for the buyer searching for a peaceful life.
Set back off the road, the winding gravel driveway leads directly to a 7m x 7m colour bond carport with power, a sandstone path and landscaped garden leading to the solid sandstone home.
Step into an entry hallway and to the right you will find a large master bedroom. Featuring a generous walk-in robe and ensuite, the room also enjoys a large floor-to-ceiling window providing plenty of light, and a glass sliding door opening out to the rear garden.

The kitchen, with the sink overlooking the back garden, includes a gas cooktop, dishwasher, oven with separate grill, large pantry, ample storage and an island bench with a raised partition, perfect for keeping food preparation hidden away.
A cosy wood fire in the corner of the room heats the home and ducted evaporative cooling throughout ensures summer is made easy.
Off the dining space are two good-sized bedrooms, both with built-in robes, and a sliding door opening to a hallway.
Off the hall, is a laundry, with three large built-in cupboards, providing plenty of storage, and a door out to the side of the home leading up to the clothesline.
A separate toilet is next to the family bathroom – a light and bright space, complete with large bathtub overlooking the private bushland.
And additional fourth bedroom, with built-in robes, is tucked away in this wing of the home and offers a glass sliding door out to the backyard.
The rear of the property is also accessed via a glass sliding door from the living room. Through this door, you will find a lovely paved al fresco area under an ornamental grape vine canopy, looking out over the back garden and established trees.
At the side of the house are two 22,500 litre tanks running off the roof. An additional three tanks can be found next to the large sheds.
To the front side of the home you will enjoy a charming character-filled, fenced vegetable patch. Featuring raised, irrigated garden beds with a sprinkler system and located in a lovely, sunny spot, this is sure to be a place to enjoy.
From here, and off the main driveway, is triple shedding;
6m x 9m colorbond with concrete floor and power

Next to the large shed is a 4m x 9m colorbond carport with power and water, and three 22,500 Litre tanks, ensuring that water catchment is at a premium.
A four-wheel drive track takes you from the driveway through the undulating hills and beautiful bush located on the land. This delightful property is simply perfect for a buyer looking for a rural retreat with all the space – inside and out – required to enjoy a sustainable lifestyle.
