Positioned on one of the region's most enviable lifestyle blocks, this is the kind of property that demands you slow down the moment you arrive - ten acres of native bush, a home full of genuine character, and the kind of quiet that's become genuinely rare within striking distance of Bendigo.
The wraparound verandah sets the tone immediately. Long, generous, and framed by towering grey box and red gum eucalypts, it's less of an architectural feature and more of a daily ritual - somewhere to start the morning and finish the evening, watching the light move through the trees.
Inside, the home surprises. The main living, dining, and kitchen space is anchored by soaring cathedral ceilings with exposed Oregon pine trusses, painted timber floors, and more personality than most homes twice its size. The kitchen earns its place at the centre of it all - a timber slab benchtop, corrugated iron island with breakfast bar seating, a separate pantry, and a split-system keep things practical without sacrificing the character. The dining area opens directly to the alfresco entertaining deck, so summer gatherings flow the way they should.
Four bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation throughout. The main bedroom is privately positioned with a walk-in robe and ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms are well-sized, with ceiling fans and bush outlooks that make waking up here feel a little different every single day. One room - currently used as a craft studio - has its own red French door opening directly to the deck, giving it flexibility that most rooms simply don't offer.
The land does the rest. The dam sits towards the rear of the property, reflecting the sky and the gum canopy around it - a genuine asset both practically and visually. Open areas beyond the treeline offer room for small livestock, a kitchen garden, or simply space to breathe.
The shedding is exceptional. A 9.0 x 13.0m shed, a 7.0 x 7.0m workshop, and a double garage give the tradie, car enthusiast, or serious hobbyist everything they need and then some. Solar panels on the roof keep the running costs honest.
A lifestyle property with this combination of character, infrastructure, and setting doesn't present itself often.
