Immaculately presented with nothing to do but move in, this home sits high on a quiet Elphinstone road, looking out across approximately four acres (1.62 hectares) of landscaped gardens and paddocks. It's easy to picture a morning coffee overlooking the horses or lunch with friends in the enclosed outdoor entertaining area, whatever the season.
Built in 2013, the home has a flexible layout that will suit families, downsizers and buyers looking for more room. The main bedroom has an ensuite and walk in robe, while a separate wing houses 2 further bedrooms, both with built in robes. The generous study also has built in robes and could easily serve as a fourth bedroom.
The open kitchen and meals area is where everyone can gather while dinner's on. Caesarstone benchtops, a gas cooktop, a dishwasher and a walk in pantry make it a practical space to cook in. The double garage opens directly into this area, making the weekly shop easy to bring inside, while a separate living room gives everyone space to spread out. There's generous linen storage in the hallway, ducted gas heating on bottled gas and split system air conditioning.
Flowering crabapples, pigface, lavender and agapanthus bring colour and texture to the easy-care gardens, while a row of claret ash trees will add autumn colour as they mature. Irrigation runs throughout the gardens, with 13 taps thoughtfully positioned to make watering easy.
Horse owners will especially appreciate the 4 main paddocks, 4 yards, floodlighting and troughs supplied from the dam. The dam is fitted with a pump and is home to fish, while 2 tanks provide approx. 130,000 litre rainwater storage. A large powered shed with a concrete floor and double-height clearance can accommodate a horse float and the adjoining carport offers covered space for a trailer, boat, caravan or more.
Elphinstone is a friendly community where the primary school, local pub and post office are all nearby. Whether it's the school run, a meal at the pub or a quick stop at the post office, village life is close at hand. Set between the rail line and the Calder Highway, the property is about 10 minutes by car from Malmsbury train station, with Castlemaine, Kyneton and Bendigo all within easy driving reach.
