8 Sugarloaf Road, Axedale, Vic 3551

Cited as being of heritage significance to the City of Greater Bendigo Council, this masterfully restored bluestone farmhouse, circa 1920-30, blends traditional characteristics with modern-day conveniences.

Standing proudly on approx. 9.7Ha (24 acres), the unique residence is a salute to the farming family who created it, and the current custodians (the second owners), who have made a stunning residence. Their dedication to retaining the country aesthetic is apparent in every aspect. Nestled amidst scenic farmlands with seasonal Hargreaves Creek frontage, the property is a haven for those seeking a respite from the city or a semi-rural lifestyle in park-like surroundings.

Behind the intriguing facade framed by an iconic verandah with timber arches, the home boasts unique 3.3 m timber-lined ceilings, rich polished timber floors, art deco influenced leadlight-glazed sash windows, plaster ceiling panels, tapestry brick fireplaces and solid doors.

A traditional hallway beautifully connects the bedrooms and living areas. The four generous bedrooms share the oversized bathroom featuring a 1200mm shower, a wall-mounted vanity, a heated floor and a freestanding egg-shaped bath surrounded by white subway wall and encaustic-look floor tiles. The formal lounge features a double-sided brick fireplace, a combustion wood heater insert and French doors to the side verandah. It abuts the spacious dining area, creating an open-style flow into the classically designed kitchen. Cullinarians will love the 1100mm Smeg cooker ( induction cooktop, twin ovens, grill and warming drawer), the integrated dishwasher, bespoke stone-topped cabinetry and the walk-through butler's pantry to a mudroom with easy access from the carport and a large, storage-rich laundry. Warm winter sunshine floods the stunning rear sunroom/living area featuring a wall of north-facing windows and stacking glass doors. It is the perfect place for summer dining and relaxing or snuggling on winter mornings with a coffee while watching the kids, pets or abundant birdlife enjoying the rear gardens.

Step outside to the fire pit area and a rustic alfresco room for outdoor enjoyment and entertaining. It includes a sink, cabinetry, barbeque, and dining space, offering a peaceful retreat for relaxing or entertaining guests. The serene, park-like surroundings feature tall palm trees with bluestone-edged beds full of water-wise plants. It's the perfect setting for family functions (think weddings) or relaxing in a hammock with a good book.

The property features a store room/cellar, a robust steel 8m x 15m powered shed/workshop, a hay shed, grain silos and a disused barn, ready to assist the agricultural enthusiast. Added features: rustic weatherboard garage/home gym/studio, two carports, town water, 45K ltrs water tanks, classic woven-wire house yard fencing, an orchard and auto garden reticulation.

This stunning piece of Axedale history offers a picture-perfect farmhouse and rural setting with the advantage of local amenities where the  Axedale Primary School, Golf Club, Tavern, cafe and general store add to the rural community spirit while only approx. 18 minutes drive from Bendigo or Heathcote.
