Space, privacy and the freedom of acreage living. 605 Finchs Road offers a peaceful rural lifestyle, just minutes from Ballarat. Set across approximately 16 acres, this property blends established gums, open native grass and usable land, making it a wonderful setting for families who want room to move.
And the home itself is something special. Beautifully designed and full of warmth, it features soaring timber-lined ceilings, exposed beams and earthy mudbrick walls, with slate and hardwood flooring underfoot. It's a home with real character and a strong connection to the landscape around it.
Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, two bathrooms and two separate living areas. The main living space is anchored by a striking double-sided brick fireplace with a gas log heater, with the kitchen and a long timber dining table running alongside, and a split system air-conditioner so you'll be comfortable all year round. Large windows frame the gardens, the lawns and the dam beyond. It's a wonderful space for everyday living and for entertaining. The second living area is a cosy retreat with polished timber floors and a traditional open fireplace, perfect for winter evenings. There’s also an area for the kids to study or play which adjoins the three bedrooms, located at the opposite end of the house from the master bedroom, perfect for growing families. This is also ideal for working from home, a library corner or a music room.
The bedrooms are just as inviting, and the views are beautiful. Wake up to established gardens and, come spring, wisteria in bloom. The master suite boasts a large walk in robe/dressing room, a timber ceiling and a full wall of glass looking out over the grounds. The ensuite is bright and modern, with a freestanding bath, a double vanity and a walk-in shower. The three further bedrooms feature built in robes.
But step outside, and the acreage really begins to shine. A long, covered flagstone verandah runs the length of the home, with room to sit, relax and take in the view. Around the corner, a paved covered area is perfect for barbecues and outdoor dining, alongside garden/vegetable beds ready for the home gardener. For those who love their sport, there's a tennis court on the property. It just needs a little updating, and then you can get back to enjoying your tennis practice right at home. Golfers have plenty space to practice their shots too on the flat grassed field. A large dam sits just below the home, and it's a beautiful focal point for the whole block. Around it, established native and fruit trees and open paddocks create a genuine sense of privacy and seclusion. There's room for children to explore, space for animals to roam, and the freedom to simply enjoy the peace that comes with owning land.
For the practical side of acreage living, there's a substantial machinery shed and workshop, measuring 11.5 metres by 8 metres, with twin roller doors. It's the sort of space that's increasingly hard to find, whether you're storing machinery, vehicles and equipment, pursuing your hobbies or setting up the ultimate workshop. There's also a smaller garden shed for storage, plus a studio or storage room adjoining the carport, giving you even more flexibility for hobbies, equipment or creative pursuits. And for those who value self-sufficiency, there's an off-grid option too. A 5kw solar system paired with a 13.5 kilowatt-hour Tesla battery means you can generate and store your own power, reducing your reliance on the grid and your energy costs.
And you get the best of both worlds. This is a quiet country setting, yet everything you need is close by. Delacombe Town Centre is only around 6 kilometres away, and Ballarat's CBD is approximately 12 kilometres, or around a 15 minute drive. For anyone searching for genuine space, privacy, character and a relaxed country lifestyle, this property is well worth experiencing.
