With immediate access to the Fryers Regional Park and the Coliban aqueduct, the location is second to none for nature lovers and those seeking a relaxing getaway or a permanent home. The 2.57 hectares (6.35 acres) of undulating land is divided into 2 paddocks with the boundaries either side defined by cypress trees for screening and windbreaks. As you enter this discreetly tucked away property, the winding driveway forks either side of the picturesque dam to reveal a home that is perfectly placed to capture the views to the east and enjoy the morning sunrise. The home’s aesthetic is modern rustic lodge, making you feel instantly at ease and in harmony with the surrounds.

Comprising 2 very spacious living areas that are connected via the main entry/mud room and adjacent dining/study area, this flexible floorplan allows for intimate family gatherings or entertaining on a grand scale inside and out with a raised firepit area hosting many a family bbq. Both areas have wood heating and enjoy either a leafy outlook to the bush or a longer view over the scenic dam.

Each wing of the home has a king-size bedroom with BIRs, ceiling fans and a private bathroom. The recently renovated laundry has ample storage. An open plan kitchen with beautiful redgum benchtops, breakfast bar and soft close cupboards, opens to the informal living area and features a built in wall oven and microwave plus gas cooktop and dishwasher.

Notable features include:

• 2 Kent Wood Stoves, Ilve 5 burner hotplate and split system air con/ heating
• Flexible home office/ mud room/ vestibule
• Mains power
• Wireless NBN
• 50,000 litre rainwater tank
• Large shed with concrete floor and a separate garage
• Walking and riding tracks behind the property
• Oversized rear living area which could be partitioned for extra bedrooms
• Disused 1920s train carriage for the kid’s cubby or that long awaited restoration project!

A 10m x 12m shed, an adjoining garage/workshop, ample rainwater storage and established trees are some of the many attributes of the property, which offers tremendous scenic appeal to a downsizing couple from a larger rural property, a family (who may look to extend in the future), couples looking to move to regional Victoria or investors seeking a low maintenance home or B&B. The friendly Taradale township is a 2 minute drive, and it is an easy commute to Malmsbury, Kyneton and Castlemaine and the Vline service to Melbourne.
