In a tightly held and premier position atop Wombat Hill, this captivating double storey strawbale residence sits behind a classic storybook façade, with the Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens as its serene backdrop. Bathed in beautiful northern light, the home exudes warmth and authenticity, enhanced by timber floors, lime-rendered walls and a timeless connection to nature.
Graceful proportions and tranquil garden outlooks define five principal rooms, each offering versatility to adapt as needed. The kitchen and dining area, featuring solid timber cabinetry and gas cooking, also includes a dining bay that frames sweeping views across the gardens towards Mount Franklin and Mount Alexander. Four bedrooms, or three plus a second living zone, allow for complete flexibility for families or guests. A first floor study opens to a balcony with exquisite panoramas, providing an inspiring retreat surrounded by the beauty of Daylesford’s landscape.
Both the kitchen/dining room and the main living area orient north to capture light and views, extending to a wraparound timber balcony, creating an idyllic setting for entertaining or simply taking in the peaceful scenery. Set above the garage, a spacious open studio with pitched ceilings and northern views offers ideal potential as a creative space, guest retreat or home office. The gardens are a true highlight, arranged across multi tiered terraces with stone pathways, cottage style plantings and an elevated gazebo offering breathtaking views over rooftops to the mountain ranges beyond. A back timber gate provides direct access to Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens.
Modern features include double glazing, hydronic heating, a 2.5kW solar array, and water tanks servicing the gardens. Additional inclusions comprise a garden shed, single car garage with roller door and connection to town services, all set within a generous 1087sqm (approx.) allotment, just a short stroll to Cliffy’s, the Sunday Market, and the heart of Daylesford’s town.
