Imagine being so relaxed at home that you never want to go anywhere else? Experience a peaceful country life at this charming hobby farm on the fringe of Taradale. This well-presented 9.71 acre (approx.) property presents a unique opportunity to secure your dream home, with minimal maintenance. It boasts a spacious three-bedroom residence, large alfresco area, excellent infrastructure, two dams and four paddocks. It’s ready to welcome horses or other animals with secure fencing, animal shelters and shedding with a raised ceiling height, ideal for a horse float or caravan.

The lovely brick home with a feature bay window is set behind post and rail fencing, creating a defined and secure house yard. Established and manicured gardens bring bird life and offer a settled and tranquil feel. Wide verandahs running the front and back of the home create relaxing alfresco spots to enjoy.

The floorplan consists of three robed bedrooms with plush carpet. The private master bedroom has a beautifully updated ensuite, in addition to the family bathroom with bath.

Two generous living areas provide the opportunity to entertain or simply unwind and enjoy the peaceful setting. The central kitchen, dining and living area features warm laminate floorboards, an ambient wood heater and floor to ceiling windows, framing this slice of paradise.

Ducted reverse cycle air conditioning flows through the home offering easy year-round comfort.

Designed to cater for the family, the contemporary kitchen features quality appliances, including electric oven and gas cooktop, ample storage space, including a deep corner pantry, and breakfast bar for informal dining.

Outside, at 6m x 6m, the undercover alfresco space is another stand out feature, ready to host this year’s Christmas celebrations!

A large Colorbond shed with an integrated double carport provides fabulous workshop and storage space, as well as remote garage doors. Three water tanks hold approximately 75,000 litres, with a bore on site for potential additional water supply. The large spring fed dam provides year-round supply for stock.

This rare lifestyle opportunity is just over 15 minutes’ drive to Castlemaine, with easy connection to Melbourne or Bendigo via the Calder Freeway, and only 10 minutes’ drive to Malmsbury train station.
