Privately tucked away amid the rolling countryside of Musk, this enchanting 10.24 acre (4.15 ha) estate offers a rare and captivating lifestyle where refined country living meets natural beauty. Surrounded by breathtaking rural vistas and bordering the Wombat State Forest, the property enjoys a remarkable sense of seclusion while remaining just minutes from the vibrant heart of Daylesford.
The land unfolds as a storybook setting, with approximately three acres of flourishing landscaped gardens and shaded woodland complemented by five acres of gently undulating grassy paddocks. A tranquil dam anchors the landscape, attracting abundant birdlife and native wildlife, creating an idyllic environment for hobby farming, family life or a peaceful weekend retreat immersed in nature.
At the centre of the estate sits a warm and welcoming homestead rich in character and comfort. The heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, where soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed timber beams and expansive windows frame ever-changing garden views. A large combustion fire, underfloor heating and thoughtful design ensure the home is as comfortable as it is beautiful throughout the seasons. The kitchen blends rustic charm with contemporary functionality, featuring a generous island bench, timber cabinetry, stainless-steel finishes and a spacious pantry.
Accommodation is generous and flexible, with five well-proportioned bedrooms, including two recently renovated rooms with lofty ceilings and built-in robes. Two inviting living zones and a substantial study provide ample space for work, relaxation or entertaining, while French doors open to a private courtyard, an intimate setting for alfresco dining or quiet moments overlooking the surrounding land.
Adding exceptional versatility is a separate, character-filled two-bedroom cottage, ideal for extended family, guests or short-stay accommodation. With its own open-plan layout, high ceilings and Ned Kelly-style wood heater, it offers charm, comfort and independence in equal measure.
Sustainability is thoughtfully integrated throughout the property, with a 10kW solar system and Tesla battery, solar hot water, town water supplemented by rainwater tanks and town water, and a fully fenced dam. A double garage, expansive walled garden and quality infrastructure complete an offering that is as practical as it is picturesque.
Just five minutes from Daylesford and within easy reach of Ballarat, Kyneton, Castlemaine and Melbourne via train or freeway, this remarkable Musk holding presents a rare opportunity to embrace a peaceful, self-sufficient country lifestyle without compromise. Offered fully furnished on a walk-in, walk-out basis, it is a property of genuine soul, beauty and possibility.
