Discover a haven of character and charm in this handcrafted, mud-brick, three-bedroom sanctuary nestled on 4 acres (approx) just outside Woodend. This unique home brings a touch of rustic elegance, with a castle-like feel that’s both inviting and timeless. A north facing aspect of the home sets itself beautifully for enjoying the sun or shade year-round under the wrap around verandas.  Surrounded by nature, the property boasts expansive bushland and serene views, creating an idyllic retreat from the everyday.

Upon entering, you’re welcomed by bespoke, double arched timber doors adorned with wrought iron hinges. Step into the sunken lounge, where high cathedral ceilings with exposed beams, mud-brick accents, and leadlight windows come together to create a cozy, storybook ambience. A freestanding wood fire warms the space, while the natural insulation of mud-brick keeps things temperate year-round.

The master suite offers a spacious escape with bay windows framing garden views, and the recently updated kitchen is designed for both beauty and function. With a wrap-around stone benchtop, feature pressed steel wall, 900mm oven, soft-close drawers, and a walk-in pantry, it’s a chef’s dream come true. Two additional bedrooms, a skylit bathroom with modern finishes, and a well-organized laundry offer both comfort and convenience.

Beyond the home, the grounds unfold into two gently sloping paddocks scattered with mature manna, white, peppermint gums & blackwood, where birdsong and kookaburra laughter greet each morning. A mud-brick chicken coop adds a touch of whimsy, completing the feeling of rustic royalty. The American barn is outfitted with a separate office, workshop, mezzanine storage, and a wine cellar — ideal for a hobbyist or artisan. A fully fenced vegetable garden with raised beds and espalier fruit trees, along with a variety of other fruit and nut trees surrounding the house are the perfect finishing touches to this countryside paradise.

Just 5 minutes (20 minutes walk to the train station) from Woodend’s vibrant town centre, with its cafes, boutiques, and all conveniences, this enchanting home offers a lifestyle to be cherished — a place to slow down, savour, and make memories.
