Electric gates and a winding driveway lead you into this marvellous property, ideally placed between Mount Macedon to the east and the township of Woodend to the west, indeed a pleasant stroll into the township. The property has its own delightful well-fenced pony paddock at the rear.
The 4 bedroom homestead is fully surrounded by generous verandahs which provide protection in winter and comfort and shade in summer. The pretty gardens have many quiet and contemplative sitting spaces and the large pond and adjacent dry “creek” provide a natural haven for the 3 resident kookaburras. A wonderful variety of exotic trees and shrubs is a further highlight and the “secret garden path” is a true delight for children as it winds its way around parts of the property. At various places within the grounds, clear views to Mount Macedon are a feature and the formal and informal garden settings, including a spectacular rose arbor, speak to the clever imagination of the current owners.
The hub of this comfortable home features a large and welcoming central lounge room with its polished timber floors, generous kitchen (granite bench tops, electric hotplate, dishwasher) and cosy combustion heater set within a grand fireplace. Nearby is a further sitting room/dining area with garden views. The home is logically-designed with the main bedroom (ensuite and WIR) and one other bedroom (BIR) at one end of the house and two further bedrooms with their own family bathroom (spa bath, shower and toilet) at the other end.
Outside, a covered al fresco and BBQ area are close to the kitchen and are popular for family gatherings. The shedding is a true delight with a tandem car port, double garage/workshop with loads of shelving and the piece-de-resistance, a lined and massive man or woman shed with bar (ex-Whistle Stop Hotel), water, toilet and with potential for use as secure car storage, as a further workshop or indeed, as an AIR BNB (STCA) with some relatively minor modifications.
Close to everything that Woodend has to offer, this is a wonderful family property in a delightful location. It’s private, pretty and peaceful and is sure to attract fastidious buyers.
