Set on approximately 4.4 acres in the peaceful surrounds of Goornong, 417 Pethericks Road presents a unique rural lifestyle opportunity, complete with an approved planning permit to build a house. Combining extensive shedding, versatile accommodation, impressive off-grid power capabilities and a charming piece of local history, this property offers exceptional versatility and potential. With a nature reserve and road reserve adjoining the surrounding area, the property provides a wonderful sense of space and privacy while remaining within convenient reach of nearby townships and Bendigo.
At the centre of the property is an impressive 25m x 9m shed, offering substantial space for vehicles, equipment, storage, workshop activities or a range of lifestyle pursuits. The shed incorporates upstairs accommodation, complete with a kitchen, bedroom, lounge area and bathroom, providing a practical space for those seeking additional living quarters alongside their workspace.
Extending from the main shed, a substantial 27.5m x 12m concrete apron provides excellent additional space for vehicle access, parking, outdoor work areas or equipment storage. The generous hardstand area complements the property's extensive shedding and adds to its overall functionality.
Adjacent to the main shed, a converted shipping container provides further accommodation, featuring a bedroom and bathroom. This separate space offers flexibility for visiting guests, extended family or a private retreat, subject to any applicable approvals.
Adding further character and historical appeal, the property also features an 1860s mud-brick miners' cottage, offering a glimpse into the area's early gold-mining history. This historic feature adds a distinctive element to the property and presents an opportunity for buyers to explore its potential, subject to the relevant building, planning and heritage requirements.
Designed with energy efficiency and functionality in mind, the property features an 8kW solar system supported by 30kW of battery storage, supplying power to both the main shed and the additional accommodation. CCTV security throughout the property provides added peace of mind.
The acreage is further complemented by a dam with an approximate 1-megalitre capacity, a 10,000-litre water tank and a tank water supply. A gas hot water system and two split-system air conditioners provide additional everyday practicality, while the large motorised roller doors, measuring approximately 3.4m high by 4.4m wide, offer convenient access for larger vehicles and equipment.
