Escape to a beautiful bushland retreat with this stone and brick home. Set amongst six acres (approx.) of native bushland, it’s hard to believe that all the amenities of Strathfieldsaye – schools, shops, medical practitioners, cafes and more – are just minutes away and the centre of Bendigo is less than 15 minutes’ drive.

Set well back from the lane, down a long sweeping driveway, the house sits beautifully amongst the landscape. Stone garden beds flank the entry and the front door opens into a formal entry and onto a large, light-filled lounge. Stairs off the lounge lead up to three bedrooms, all with split system heating and cooling and built-in robes, along with a recently refurbished family bathroom. The master bedroom is located downstairs, next to the lounge, and features a built-in robe and sliding door to the garden outside. Next door is a recently refurbished bathroom, serving as an ensuite.

The hallway from the entry leads past a laundry, and down to a spectacular open plan kitchen, living and dining room. This space offers high cathedral ceilings and sliding doors that open out to the rear yard looking out to a stunning vista across the bushland. A wood burning heater ensures the space is appreciated year-round, and the kitchen includes ample storage.

A large alfresco deck outdoors also features a high cathedral ceiling ensuring the view is uninterrupted, both indoors and out. The deck overlooks a large inground swimming pool and lawn area that is fully fenced. Beyond the pool yard are raised garden beds, chook pen, fenced dog yard off the side of the house and a shed. At the front of the home is a large dam.

Split system heating and cooling throughout
