Tranquil Country Home Surrounded By Stunning Gardens
Situated on a corner allotment in a picturesque lane, this much-loved solar passive family home is conveniently located just 12 minutes to Bendigo’s CBD, five minutes to Strathfieldsaye and also allows easy access to Melbourne.
This charming brick home and surrounding gardens, sitting on the edge of Greater Bendigo National Park, benefits from 200m of kangaroo, rabbit and dog-proof fencing that has been installed around the main garden. Additional fencing and gates throughout the property allow practical zoning and access.
Leading up via the long circular driveway, the home is accessed through the large double carport. Through the front door is an entry hall, leading on one side to a bedroom – the first of four – and then to the master beyond. The master bedroom offers double built-in robes, a light-filled ensuite and a lovely view out over the garden and bushland.
To the right of the entry is the formal lounge, with floor-to- ceiling windows on both sides of the room. A glass door opens out to a sunny deck overlooking the garden on the south side, and a wood fire heater offers comfort in winter.
Heading through a door to the light and spacious kitchen, dining and living room, you can enjoy the many windows and doors providing a stunning outlook from every angle. A walk-in pantry adds to the ample storage options in this room, including extra shelving above the fridge nook, and all amenities are considered such as the new double Bosch oven and Miele dishwasher and the quality kitchen design includes extra wide benchtops.
Glass doors open to the garden on the north of the home, and a deck on the south and a split system provides heating and cooling options. The room also features built-in display cabinets and, off to one side, is a small room that is ideal for a studio or home office. With plenty of built-in storage and beautiful views to the garden and bushland, it would make the perfect place to work from home.
Beyond the dining room is a spacious walk-through laundry, offering loads of storage and a door to the garden. The four-piece family bathroom is located off the laundry, featuring a spa bath and two skylights providing plenty of light.
A final door leads through to a light-filled hallway with a glass door to outside and floor-to-ceiling windows along the north side, looking over the garden and undercover fernery. The house, designed as solar passive, also ensures windows are protected by generous eaves that offer shade in summer and sun in winter. Two large linen cupboards provide additional storage and the hall also offers access to two good-
sized bedrooms, both with ceiling fans and built-in robes. One of the bedrooms has a door to the outside deck – ideal for a guest room or teenager’s retreat.
Outside, enjoy a fully landscaped garden filled with native birdlife. The north garden has a large paved al fresco area with stone steps leading up to the garden shed and cubby house. Back to the driveway is a brick garage, slightly larger than a single, with workbenches down one side and cupboards on the opposite wall. The property has a total of five tanks – offering a total water catchment of over 100,000l. A 2ML dam and 5.9.ML water right ensure that the garden will always be green.
Stone paving and edging lead through the garden to the rear of the block where you will find an orchard with over 25 varieties of established fruit
trees, garden beds, a summer and winter veggie patch, an extra garden shed, a pump shed and hot house.
This beautiful home, with its country style garden combined with practical native plants, is ideal for the buyer seeking peace, tranquility and a taste of the good life.
