12 Old Main Road, Eganstown, Vic 3461

Beyond the gate is a quintessential country house  offering semi off grid living. Nestled on an acre sits this beautifully presented character filled home. 

Situated on a slip road, it provides privacy while being just minutes 7 minutes from the heart of Daylesford.

The interior presents a heritage style with exquisite period details, including ornate ceiling cornices, stained glass windows plus polished hardwood floors. The north-facing open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area is flooded with natural light, enhanced by large picture windows framing lush green views. 

Plantation shutters and built-in robes are in all three bedrooms, while the Jack-and-Jill two way bathroom has a corner spa bath. A dedicated study nook with inspirational views, split system heating and cooling, and a new wood fire add to the list of impressive features. 

A spacious Merbau deck with privacy screen caters to idyllic alfresco entertaining. Enjoy a serene view of the stunning English-style garden, filled with the fragrant scent of roses and vibrant bursts of seasonal blooms. The acre further unfolds to reveal two fenced paddocks, an array of edible fruit trees, and a dog-proof backyard, creating the perfect environment for hobby farming, outdoor play, or simply relaxing in nature. Additional features include a charming studio with barn doors. 

There is a 40-foot container for storage, a three-car carport and additional space for extra vehicles near studio. 

Enjoy home grown fresh produce and a low cost sustainable lifestyle. One large poly water tank is connected to the main house with another available for your garden or other pursuits. Further reduce your household expenditure by implementing a 3rd party solar program to suit your needs. 

The freshly painted sage green gracing the façade, a trending colour for 2024, enhances the home's country aesthetic, creating a calming and harmonious atmosphere. Home designers  and decorators have tipped this nature-inspired hue as a standout for its ability to bring peace and balance to living spaces.

Located less than 10 minutes from Lake Daylesford, this home is surrounded by local produce markets, boutique wineries, and scenic walking trails.
