220 Blackmore Road, Woodend, Vic 3442

Enter ‘Balmoral’, a beautiful country estate positioned on 5.9ha (approx.) of graceful gardens and dappled woodland. Minutes to Woodend township and a two-minute connection to the Calder Freeway, making an easy one-hour commute to Melbourne. 

Admire the storybook entrance as you traverse through timber gates and over an undulating driveway and bridge, flanked by two picturesque dams, through whispering groves abundant with bird and wildlife. This exquisite setting creates the compelling backdrop to a traditional farmhouse-style two-storey weatherboard homestead and self-contained apartment, ideal for multigenerational living. A picturesque ornamental pond and water feature sits in front of the grand façade and covered alfresco entertaining areas, creating a warm and welcoming reception, and an idyllic place to make memories with friends. Meander through the garden wonderland and spend time at the rotunda overlooking the dam, play bocce or boules on the purpose-built court and experience a slower pace of life, a world away from the hustle and bustle.

Inside, soaring timber-lined ceilings, gorgeous picture windows and tranquil garden vistas accent a spacious interior that delivers ample space for contemporary lifestyles and a range of ages and stages. North facing entertaining zones extend from the central open plan kitchen, living and dining room where an Onyx wood heater and stacked stone feature wall take centre stage. A vast sunroom opens to another alfresco zone with a woodfire oven, ideal for relaxed entertaining as well as larger gatherings. A gallery landing, light filled family room and library on the first floor extend the flexibility. 

Four bedrooms include the ground floor ensuite main bedroom with a walk-in robe, the first-floor bedroom with a dressing room and adjacent bathroom, plus an additional two bedrooms served by the main bathroom. The first-floor floorplan provides good separation with its accompanying living spaces, while a self-contained apartment, with an open plan living zone and kitchen, comes with a private balcony. 

Additional attributes include two laundries, (one doubling as a convenient mudroom from the entrance porch), several storerooms, a study zone, heating and cooling, as well as a dog run, garden shed with drive-through access and firewood store, machinery shed, double carport and a garage. Fantastic infrastructure is set up for easy care and maintenance, including three dams, a bore, four 22,5000L water tanks and a comprehensive Rainbird irrigation system that takes efficient care of the garden.

Experience quintessential country living, minutes from Woodend, Macedon and a choice of surrounding villages, complete with artisanal bakeries, famed restaurants and bustling cafes, alongside an incredible selection of outdoor activities, walks and parks on offer, to make the most of one of Victoria’s most cherished regions.
