FULLY RENOVATED COUNTRY COTTAGE IN A PARKLIKE SETTING
For those who value privacy, peace and quiet, outstanding views, beautifully established landscaped gardens, a highly esteemed location, perfect presentation and the genuine feeling of a country getaway, this 14.43 acre property, with a fully renovated 3 bedroom cottage and a bungalow, nestled in the foothills of Mount Alexander, is going to feel like a dream come true.On a sealed road, and set so well back that even the neighbours find them self-wondering what it's like, down a meandering driveway through the beautiful acreage and gardens, this lovely country home is revealed. Neat as a pin and pretty as a picture, with natural calming feng shui elements such as a back drop of mountains and water by the home, it's like something you imagine from a storybook.
The location and land are what really counts here. Harcourt has long been highly regarded and is home to many orchards and vineyards, with its undulating elevated land and rich fertile soil. This property is no exception and is neighboured by horse properties and an apple orchard beyond which you have a wonderful clear view of the whole of Mount Alexander.
The garden is truly like a park with Oak trees, elm trees, varieties of wattle, bottle brushes, and even a small grove of 20 olive trees at the front of the property, near a spring fed dam. Taps have been installed all over the property, three tanks service the home, but there are five in total. Another dam with an island is in place by the home. It is so pretty, that you would be forgiven for thinking it is only there for ornamental purposes. It also makes a lovely safe haven for nesting ducks.
As far as the birds are concerned, it absolutely is at a park. There are crimson Rosella's who nest near the back door, owls, blue wrens and a kookaburra who visits every afternoon. Everything is visually appealing here even the woodshed, which is a repurposed water tank, and purely by accident bears a rust stain that looks like a deliberate leaf pattern.
You can immerse yourself in all that goodness, in the clean fresh country air under the shade of the Verandah, or from indoor comfort anywhere in the home, as every room has a view. While the home is a cozy size and will never be too much to clean up. It is very functional with three bedrooms,
The main has a ceiling fan and walk-in wardrobe fitted with shelving and lighting to make it ideal for make up and hair. Also with some bonus storage directly adjacent to the gorgeous stained glass door which is cleverly positioned to create a corner as you enter, for extra privacy in this room. The second bedroom has a ceiling fan, and a freestanding wardrobe so that you can rearrange the room to best accommodate your needs, while the third bedroom has a fan, a split system air-conditioner and a built-in robe.
Throughout the home you will discover discreet cupboards tucked away in every corner, creating ample storage space. It is also extremely clean and aesthetically pleasing with polished floorboards or new carpets and tiles, and fresh paint. A pristine new four piece bathroom means the work has been done for you. And you can admire plenty of charming features like high ceilings, sash windows and beautiful stained glass, leadlight windows.
The kitchen has been specifically designed for easy, manoeuvring and premium functionality it has two tier cabinetry to conceal the sink from guests, a big corner pantry, hutches for large items like a bread maker or mixmaster, an easily modified fridge space, a Belling dual oven with a cooktop cover to provide extra bench space when it's not in use, and even hidden drawers handy to the dining area, making best use of the corner storage space of the kitchen.
Adjoining the dining area is a sitting room with an elevated freestanding Conara above a wood box on a gracious granite hearth. Beyond this room is the formal lounge with direct access to the Verandah through the front door with a quirky portal window, this room also features a big picture window with an idyllic outlook over the picturesque dam with an island, and the surrounding gardens.
Other noteworthy features include a double carport for vehicle storage and a large shed with lights, power and a paved floor. This would make an ideal hobby room or studio. To the left of the entry is a storage room, while an L-shape provides an ideal workshop area, and one full end of the shed forms a fully lined and carpeted bungalow, with dado boards and its own split system. This could be ideal as a teenagers retreat or guest accommodation. And for your pets there are also kennels connected to a dog enclosure with a tennis fence.
This picturesque lifestyle property is conveniently situated just 5 minutes from the thriving hamlet of Harcourt, 15 minutes from historic Castlemaine and 25 minutes from the major regional city of Bendigo. Commuting to Tullamarine airport or the Melbourne fringe is a breeze in around 90 minutes by car or relax and catch the train into the Southern Cross Station in the city.
