599 Muckleford-Walmer Road, Muckleford, Vic 3451

A rare opportunity awaits with 104.5 acres (approx) of picturesque farmland of ancient gums with rich and productive soil and a beautifully manicured garden surrounding the perfectly presented four-bedroom brick veneer home. Bendigo is an easy 30-minute commute, 10 minutes to Castlemaine and a short drive into historic Maldon, making this property the ideal country lifestyle for farming and liveability.

A tree-lined poplar driveway leads to the home that sits amongst a landscaped garden planted with ornamental trees, pencil pines, and clipped hedges. The floorplan features entry into a generous open-plan kitchen with dining and living. The kitchen provides an electric cooktop with an under-mount oven, an Asko dishwasher, stone benchtops, soft close drawers, a pantry and bar-style seating. The north-facing living features a solid wood heater, large windows with outlooks of the surrounding landscape and a sliding door to the verandah with an ornamental vine and a north-facing 6.7m x 5.1m alfresco area overlooking the garden, paddocks and dam, making the perfect place to entertain family and friends. A second living space is an ideal theatre room or playroom. 

The main bedroom suite has views of the garden, a walk-in robe and an ensuite with a shower, toilet and vanity. Two further bedrooms are generous in size and have walk-in robes. A fourth bedroom with a built-in robe makes for an ideal home office. Completing the internal design is a bathroom with a shower, bath, vanity, a separate toilet and a large laundry that provides storage, access to the 7.5m double secure garage and external access to the north verandah. Additional details include an integrated solar system, ducted heating and cooling, double blinds and six large water tanks for water supply. 

Externally, the property is beautifully presented and set up with fenced irrigated paddocks, water tanks, a dam and bore water for irrigation supply, a seasonal creek, ancient gums and an 18.8m x 9m garage, a 9m x 10.8m machinery shed and 9m x 7.3m garage, all with power, providing storage for tractors, tools and just about anything!

Neat as a pin, this 104.5 acre (approx) working farm with a four-bedroom home is the best of both worlds: picturesque and ideal farmland with all the convenience of a short drive to schools, retail, amenities and the Calder Freeway for access to Bendigo or Melbourne. If a rural lifestyle is what you are after, then this property is for you.
