Overview

Step into history and comfort at Lucinda: A timeless country retreat with two dwellings

Born out of early European settlement history, Lucinda offers a glimpse into a bygone era. This incredible property, originally owned by the Frye's Family in the 1860s, sprawled as a vast sheep farm from Wombat State Forest to Elphinstone. The story of Lucinda unfolds through the evolving dwellings, reflecting the family's rising prosperity. It all began with a humble two-room cottage on the east side of the estate. As their fortunes grew, a third room was added. Subsequently, a second pitch emerged, featuring a grand mantle, an expanded living area and an additional bedroom. The 1920s saw the construction of a second house, now the main residence, complete with a wide wrap around verandah, while the original cottage lay dormant until the 1980s, when it was lovingly restored. Today, this fully established 9 acre (approx.) property has the perfect blend of romantic historical past with added convenience of modern comforts, sprawling grounds and significant infrastructure. The two dwellings offer intergenerational flexibility and income generating potential, be it for a holiday rental or long-term rental. The main residence has undergone significant renovations to incorporate every wished-for modern comfort. The the all-electric home with a 4.6-kilowatt solar system is double glazed with split system heating and cooling and features a wood heater for country charm. Four spacious bedrooms, three with robes, are serviced by the central bathroom in neutral shades of grey and white, featuring a stepless shower and bath. The kitchen is likewise timeless and stylish with white country style cabinetry, a 900mm Westinghouse oven and induction cooktop, and generous cupboard and drawer space. Delight your loved ones with meals prepared from the bountiful produce, harvested from the thriving veggie patches. The light filled living space extends to the verandah, part of which has been enclosed for year-round entertainment. The original cottage oozes character with its exposed hand made bricks, pitched timber lined ceilings, open fireplaces and hardwood floorboards. It offers three bedrooms and a cosy living room. Outside, the grand old oaks and mature trees anchor the property in history, inviting idyllic family picnics. Established cottage gardens add to the charm, while two holding paddocks awaken dreams of a hobby farm. Water supply is abundant with a dam holding 3 mega litres and two water tanks with a capacity of 45,000 litres. Extensive shedding provides ample space for cars, machinery and workshop needs. A fox proof chicken coop completes this extraordinary country package, within a very convenient 10 minute drive from the heart of Castlemaine and 15 minutes to Kyneton.
