This property is far more than a country home. It is a private rural sanctuary set across an impressive 73.98acres of peaceful countryside. The beautifully renovated home delivers an extraordinary combination of character, modern comfort and self-sufficiency.
A winding drive delivers you to a charming timber weatherboard home which retains its warmth and character, with high ceilings, timber floors and renovated interior. Two generous bedrooms (master with a wall of BIR) accompany an updated bathroom featuring a large walk-in shower, and freestanding clawfoot bath.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas flow effortlessly to the outdoors, with views to the pool, gardens and dam. The kitchen features timber benchtops, porcelain butler's sink, abundant cabinetry, 900mm five-burner gas cooker and a generous butler's pantry. The light-filled dining area opens to an enormous north- and west-facing deck, while the adjoining lounge features a cosy wood-burning fire, timber floors and French doors.
Zoned ducted heating and cooling throughout can be remotely activated to ensure a comfortable arrival on your return home.
Outside, the property becomes truly exceptional. Beautifully landscaped, fenced Roo and rabbit-proof gardens surround a spectacular bespoke 12m x 3m saltwater swimming pool, complete with an automated solid thermal cover and 24kW heatpump. A hot tub, extensive decking, firepit and custom brick pizza oven add another layer of indulgence. All creating an extraordinary outdoor environment for entertaining, relaxing and enjoying the country setting and views.
Garden watering could not be easier. It is fully automated and can be controlled remotely. A magnificent 9 mega litre dam and brand-new bore provide complete water security.
A new 12m x 8m steel shed provides outstanding workshop, storage or machinery space, complete with slab, lighting, power, insulation and roller door. There is a separate farm shed on the property for additional storage.
The infrastructure is equally impressive and supports a sustainable lifestyle without compromising on luxury. Completely off grid, the property is powered by a substantial new 52kW battery and solar system with backup generator, solar hot water with gas backup and extensive 67,000 litres of rainwater storage.
Located only minutes from Guildford village, a 10-minute drive will take you to Castlemaine (and the direct trains to Melbourne) while Daylesford and Hepburn are only 15 minutes away. An inspection is essential to fully appreciate all that this remarkable property has to offer. Contact Gary Cooke or Scott Rawlings.
