The showcase of the property is the architect-designed mud brick home by renowned designer Robert Marshall, a name synonymous with craftsmanship in this style of build. Featuring striking architectural lines, the home blends seamlessly with its bushland setting while offering warmth, character, and functionality.
The master bedroom includes a walk-in robe, while additional bedrooms provide family accommodation. A well-zoned kitchen flows to open-plan living and dining areas, with natural light and bush views enhancing the interiors. The front verandah is a standout design feature, matching the width of the rear and extending from the master bedroom to a wing wall off the kitchen, with another wing wall positioned between the family bathroom and family room. In contrast, the eastern roadside and rear bedroom wings are intentionally verandah-free, allowing sun and light into the home. Adding further practicality, this residence also includes its own shed, ensuring storage and workshop needs are met.

The second dwelling provides additional living or rental potential and is equally well-presented. Featuring timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams, and a feature brick fireplace in the lounge, it's a warm and welcoming home in its own right. The kitchen connects to the dining and living areas, with a master bedroom featuring built-in robes and ensuite, plus two further bedrooms. A central bathroom, large laundry, and wrap-around verandahs complement the layout. Recent updates include a new hot water service, evaporative cooler, and tank pump, providing peace of mind for the new owner.
Outdoors & Property Features
The property is fully fenced and thoughtfully set up to support a relaxed rural lifestyle. Infrastructure includes a large workshop/shed, solar system, and ample water tanks, with wide driveways and generous parking. NBN is connected to both dwellings, ensuring modern convenience alongside the bushland surrounds.
Location
Despite its serene, secluded feel, the property is only moments from Strathfieldsaye township for shopping, schools, and sporting facilities, and less than 15 minutes from Bendigo CBD.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a renowned Robert Marshall mud brick home with a second residence, delivering space, versatility, and timeless bushland living.
