Unique Family Home in Tranquil Setting with Side Access and Shedding

Ideally positioned on a quiet street in leafy Mount Helen and backing directly onto natural bushland with no rear neighbours, this charming family home offers a rare sense of tranquillity, privacy and connection to nature. Surrounded by established greenery and native birdlife, the property delivers a peaceful lifestyle setting while still being only minutes from the conveniences of Ballarat. The beautifully landscaped 890m² (approx.) allotment is a genuine highlight, with lush established gardens creating a private, park-like environment to relax and unwind. With the bushland as a natural backdrop, the outdoor spaces feel secluded and serene, providing the perfect setting to enjoy the changing seasons and the calm atmosphere that makes Mount Helen such a sought-after location. Designed to take full advantage of the surroundings, the enclosed paved alfresco area is an exceptional outdoor entertaining space. Complete with retractable outdoor blinds, electric heating, a wall-mounted television and a freestanding wood heater, it offers a comfortable and inviting area for year-round dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful outlook across the gardens and neighbouring bushland. Inside, the spacious main bedroom features a walk-in robe and a beautifully updated private ensuite with stylish floor-to-ceiling tiles and a generous walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms, all with built-in robes, are serviced by a large central family bathroom, while a separate home office or versatile multi-purpose room provides flexibility for working from home, creative pursuits or use as a nursery. At the heart of the home, the updated kitchen blends functionality and style, offering ample bench and cupboard space, a large built-in pantry, dishwasher and self-cleaning oven. Two separate light-filled living areas ensure there is plenty of room for families to relax and gather, while other practical features include convenient side access, a powered 6x6m shed with roller door access-perfect for tradies, hobbyists or additional storage. An oversized remote double lock-up garage with direct internal access adds further convenience, while gas central heating and evaporative cooling ensure year-round comfort. Located just 10 minutes from Ballarat and only 5 minutes from Buninyong, with Federation University, IBM, local schools, childcare, public transport and Midvale Shopping Centre nearby, this outstanding home offers the perfect balance of peaceful bushland living and everyday convenience.
