Set amongst the picturesque valleys of Lockwood South, just half an hour from the centre of Bendigo, is this 100-acre property and spacious, contemporary family home. 10 minutes to pretty Maldon and 1 hour 20 minutes to Melbourne airport, this lush farm is ideally positioned.
The house is found at the end of a long, private driveway and behind an established, fully landscaped garden. The wide, wraparound verandah runs the perimeter of the home, further establishing this as the ultimate country dream. Indoors, a large open plan kitchen, living and dining room provides large windows with fantastic views of the garden and land. The kitchen enjoys a practical study nook and walk-in pantry, and off the kitchen is a large formal lounge that could also serve as an excellent theatre room.
At the other end of the home, a large home office provides dual access and four bedrooms lead off a hallway. The master bedroom, at the end of the home, is lovely and spacious with walk-in robe, ensuite and glass sliding door opening out to the front verandah. The remaining three bedrooms all feature built-in robes and a large family bathroom, powder room with separate toilet, and spacious light-filled laundry complete the floorplan.
Outdoors, a sliding door from the main living area opens out to a deck and generously-proportioned alfresco area – ideal for entertaining. A shade house and concrete raised garden beds offer more flora, and at the rear of the house a large lawn area over two levels is dotted with assorted established fruits trees, and a chook pen.
