Set on a magical country lane on the edge of Daylesford and Musk Vale, this solid brick home sits on almost an acre - with potential for a second dwelling (STCA). It's just 3km from Lake Daylesford and the town centre offering cafés, shops and galleries.
Surrounded by sweeping lawns and established gardens, the property offers an enviable sense of peace, space and convenience.
Wake to the gentle clippety-clap of horses passing by on their way to training. Spend the day in the workshop or machinery shed, tend to the volcanic garden, or relax by the fireplace in the sun-filled, north-facing lounge.
The shedding - a genuine standout:
Outdoors is where this property truly sets itself apart. Three substantial structures; a four-bay machinery shed, a large lock-up garage and workshop, and a roller-door carport - provide the kind of working infrastructure most buyers spend years assembling.
Park the caravan and the cars. Run a trade or creative business. Store or service machinery. The infrastructure is already there - allowing you to live and work entirely on your own terms.
Inside the home:
Inside, the home immediately impresses with an exceptionally generous, north-facing lounge filled with natural light and perfectly suited to relaxed family living or entertaining at scale. This space is warmed by a premium European Falun wood heater and supported by zoned central heating and cooling for year-round comfort. A second living area, also with wood combustion heating, offers flexibility for families, retreats or guest accommodation.
The spacious country-style kitchen features a walk-in pantry, excellent storage and abundant bench space, flowing to the adjoining meals and dining area. Sliding doors open to the undercover entertaining terrace - a seamless extension of indoor living across all seasons.
Three generously sized bedrooms, all with built-in robes, are serviced by a central bathroom with bath and separate shower, a standalone toilet, and a well-appointed laundry with storage. A ducted vacuum system completes a home that has been carefully maintained and is ready to move straight in.
The gardens & grounds:
The rich volcanic soil will excite serious gardeners. An established area for vegetables, a greenhouse, a chicken run with bird loft, and sweeping ornamental lawns featuring established trees, shrubs and a huge array of bulbs create an outdoor setting that is both beautiful and highly functional.
The securely fenced allotment is supported by town water and two large rainwater tanks. A nearby seasonal creek and surrounding bushland offer quiet country rambles from your own doorstep.
The opportunity:
Land of this scale on Daylesford's doorstep is increasingly rare. The potential for a permitted secondary dwelling (STCA) elevates the property beyond a standard lifestyle holding - offering flexibility for extended family accommodation, guest use, or ancillary income without subdivision.
Buyers seeking space today, with options for tomorrow, will immediately recognise the long-term value this opportunity represents.
