Originally built circa 1885 as the teacher’s residence for the historic Mollongghip Primary School, it is now a generously proportioned country home offering high-end finishes and contempory comforts sitting on an acre (approx.) of beautifully established, low-maintenance gardens.
The heart of the home is an expansive open-plan lounge and dining area bathed in natural light and looking out over stunning views of the beautiful gardens and lush rural landscape beyond. This seamlessly connects with a superbly renovated kitchen that shares the same view and is appointed with high-end appliances and a massive walk-in pantry/laundry.
Accommodation is extensive and flexible, with a grand master suite offering direct garden access, ample robes, and a luxurious ensuite complete with spa. Two further bedrooms, each with built-in robes, are complemented by a cozy study or optional fourth bedroom and a stylishly-renovated family bathroom.
Period character is celebrated throughout with feature timber ceilings, polished floors, decorative cornices and wide verandas that frame the home, while modern comfort is assured by double glazing throughout, solar panels and efficient heat-pump hydronic heating.
Mollongghip itself completes the appeal of the home. A charming, welcoming rural community, it is renowned for its fertile volcanic soil and generous rainfall, making it both a productive potato-growing region and a gardener’s paradise. It’s a hidden gem that enjoys easy access to Ballarat, Daylesford and Creswick, including the convenience of school bus access to Ballarat’s excellent schools. No wonder it is increasingly popular with young families.
This enchanting property offers a rare opportunity to embrace the country lifestyle without compromise – whether as a permanent residence or a weekend retreat.
