Steeped in history and natural beauty on 13 ha (32 acres) is this beautiful property with a backdrop of rolling hills and sweeping views over the Jim Crow Creek Valley. With 2 restored and renovated homes, this is the perfect place to call home, your rural weekender or to capitalise on the lucrative holiday letting market.
The historic 1860’s stone and brick cottage has been meticulously restored to its original glory. All the hard work has been done including new roof, all stone and brick restored, Castlemaine slate and timber floors throughout, new timber windows, recycled timber roof trusses and electrical and plumbing roughed in. The only things left to do are the fun parts – including designing your own kitchen and bathroom.
The fully renovated, 1960’s weatherboard farmhouse has 3 bedrooms, country styled kitchen, open plan dining and loungeroom with Ned Kelly wood fire heater and split system heating/cooling. There’s an outdoor entertaining area with a timber deck and wood stove.
Extensive out buildings include the original diary, old carriage/feed shed, 3 bay machinery shed and hay sheds. Further infrastructure includes fencing, cattle yards, 110,000 ltr rain water tank, a dam, 300ft bore (solar powered/500gal per hour), Southern Cross Windmill and well. The fertile pastures and river flats are suitable for a wide range of agricultural activities and the property is currently running cattle.
Nestled in the heart of the goldfields, there’s cleared and forested land and tranquil places along the creek to relax, fish and admire the valley views. The property is perfectly located with easy access to nearby towns of Daylesford, Castlemaine, Newstead and Maldon within 15 minutes. The property will be open for inspection at advertised times or call Kim McQueen to make an appointment.
