Nestled in the picturesque township of Blackwood, this charming storybook cottage captures the essence of country living surrounded by the beauty of the Australian bush. Once a historic gold mining town, Blackwood today offers a peaceful, close-knit community with a touch of nostalgia - where you can enjoy morning coffee at the General Store, or a beautiful meal and drink at the freshly updated Blackwood Hotel. Then, explore the nearby State Forest walking trails and soak in the history and natural beauty that define the area.
Set on beautifully landscaped gardens, this delightful two-storey cottage offers flexible living with up to three bedrooms - the third easily adaptable as a second living room or home office. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area form the heart of the home, complete with a cosy combustion fireplace (with fan) and split system heating and cooling for year-round comfort, plus electric shutters on most windows.
The kitchen features a double sink, gas stove, and electric oven, while the adjoining laundry and separate toilet add convenience. Downstairs, the bathroom with shower and vanity flows through to the master bedroom, complete with walk-in robe. Upstairs, the third bedroom/lounge enjoys charming pitched ceilings and a ceiling fan, and the second bedroom includes its own shower room.
Outdoors, enjoy low-maintenance cottage gardens with concrete paths, a sprinkler system on the roof, and multiple shedding options - including a wood shed, composting area, and two-car carport.
Perfectly positioned for both lifestyle and convenience, Blackwood offers an easy commute to Melbourne, Ballarat, or Daylesford, plus quick access to Ballan for train connections and essential services.
This property offers the perfect blend of tranquillity, charm, and practicality - an ideal escape to nature, yet close to local attractions, nearby goldfields, and surrounding tourist destinations. Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat or a permanent home in a welcoming country township, this is a rare opportunity to secure your own piece of Blackwood magic.
