9 Cochrane Drive, Snake Valley, Vic 3351

Built as a true labour of love by the vendor and family, this beautifully crafted two-bedroom home is set amid established, vibrant gardens that burst to life with colour through the seasons (seasonal photos available from Agent on request). Originally constructed in the 1990s and thoughtfully updated in the early 2000s, the home was designed with care and finished with the highest quality materials, offering a warm, character-filled lifestyle in a peaceful rural setting.

Both bedrooms are generous in size and feature luxurious soft underfoot wool carpet, with the master offering a spacious four-door built-in robe. Polished hardwood floorboards line the living areas, complemented by solid timber doors and custom finishes that reflect the quality and attention to detail throughout.

The main living area is a welcoming space, anchored by a gas log fireplace with a feature mantelpiece and a split system that ensures year-round climate control.
A beautifully appointed timber kitchen overlooks the rear gardens and sits at the heart of the home flowing seamlessly via French doors to a wide, wrap-around timber deck - ideal for entertaining or unwinding while taking in the tranquil outlook.

The bathroom combines functionality with rustic charm, featuring smooth timber stain lining, a classic vanity, and elegant farm-style gold tapware. The built-in timber cabinetry in both the kitchen and bathroom were meticulously hand-crafted on site by the owner himself.

Set on approximately 2 acres, the property includes a  8mx6m shed with concrete flooring and power, plus a separate smaller shed perfect for use as a workshop or additional storage. A dam enhances the rural lifestyle offering, while the open ground areas provide endless potential for kids play or hobby farm animals.

The gardens are a true highlight - thoughtfully planted and lovingly maintained over decades. With vibrant roses, established trees, colourful seasonal plantings and a variety of fruit-bearing trees, the grounds offer a rich blend of colour, fragrance and produce throughout the year. Winding paths, shaded pockets and open lawns create a sense of peaceful discovery, offering both practical and picturesque spaces to enjoy. 

Located in the peaceful township of Snake Valley, the property offers a quiet rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community. The town features a primary school, post office, pub, and a general store, providing all the essentials for day-to-day living. It's just 9 minutes to Smythesdale or the Linton Township, 20 minutes to Ballarat's Delacombe Town Centre, 25 minutes to Ballarat CBD, approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes to Geelong, and just under 2 hours to Centre of Melbourne.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a much-loved family home, created over time and perfectly suited for those seeking quality, privacy and country charm. Contact Jake or Felicity Clark for further information.
