36 Sandhills Lane, Maldon, Vic 3463

Nuggetty, with its rolling hills, clean air and undeniable sense of freedom and space is the very essence of ‘big sky’ country, and the perfect setting for your very own rural lifestyle destination – even better if horses are part of your family. The delightful, flat to gently undulating 4.8 acre (1.95 ha) is divided into 3 fully fenced paddocks each cleared to pasture, 2 with shelters. The central placement of paddock gates allows for ease of stock movement between paddocks and the property’s array of excellent infrastructure. An exceptional shed with concrete floor and power, divided into two 9m x 7.4m compartments provides workshop, garaging, feed and tack storage plus plenty of room for internal stabling if desired. An attached 9m x 6.1m open-face shed has ample room for a horse float, plant and machinery. Surrounding the sheds, 5 rainwater tanks deliver a total of 150,000lts; more than enough water for domestic and property use.

And the magic doesn’t end there. Positioned to maximise views over the property and across to Mt Tarrangower and the Nuggety Range, the brick and Colorbond ranch-style home blends seamlessly with its tranquil surrounds and offers a private and oasis specifically designed for indoor/outdoor relaxation and entertainment. Wide, covered verandahs embrace the home, 2.7m ceilings add to the sense of space and light while feature windows and glass sliders not only fill the home with natural light but also ensure the home’s beautiful surrounds are drawn into every room.

With generous dimensions throughout, there’s plenty of free-flowing space to relax and dine as a family, or entertain guests; the inclusion of a spacious rumpus room with large bay window a definite bonus, especially for teenagers. The country kitchen more than meets every need with its abundance of  timber cabinetry under sweeping black benchtops, gas and electric appliances, built-in microwave space, dishwasher, large pantry and roomy island bench/breakfast bar. For outdoor entertainment, simply draw back the glass sliders to relax and dine on the expansive covered alfresco patio overlooking your own sparkling in-ground pool. And after filling your day with activity, there are four spacious bedrooms to retire to; king premier suite with walk-in robe and ensuite plus three queen bedrooms all with built-in robes and sharing a modern, centrally located family bathroom.  The home boasts numerous additional highlights including a study/home office, ducted evaporative cooling, reverse-cycle air-conditioning, ducted gas heating, wood-fire heater, ceiling fans, laundry with external access and excellent built-in hall storage plus single car garage under the roofline. Fully fenced, the house yard of manicured lawns is a safe space for children and pets. Waste treatment delivers grey water for the house gardens and there’s a handy wood shed.

Tranquil Nuggetty embodies the magic of the Goldfields region while being only 8-minutes from everything Maldon has to offer. Additionally, the regional hubs of Castlemaine (20 minutes),  Maryborough and Bendigo (30 minutes) are all within easy reach. To call this beautiful property home is to revel in one of life’s great pleasures – for humans and horses alike.
