If you've been looking for a lifestyle property that won't break the budget, but still has everything you want, then this picturesque 20 acres, handy to town, with a fully renovated country style cottage, could be just the one for you. The one you will want to call home.

With loads of charm and character, this weatherboard home is encompassed by a bullnose verandah, adorned with colonial style windows and has a wonderfully bespoken, handcrafted stone step at the threshold.

Inside is a delightful surprise, it might as well be brand-new, And while we called this home a cottage, it is still a nice size to provide very comfortable family living.

The floor plan is ideal with a central u-shaped lounge, dining, kitchen. Two of the three bedrooms are at one end with their own bathroom and separate toilet, while the main bedroom is at the other end, with a beautiful ensuite. 

Renovations include fresh paint, new carpet, floating floors and tiles, full insulation, including the walls and even a wiring upgrade. All three bedrooms have built-in-robes with shelving not only at the top, but at both ends as well.

One of the bedrooms has lovely bells and bows decorative cornice, another has a study nook with a built-in desk, these two are serviced by a new two piece bathroom, where you can pamper yourself under a big round rainfall showerhead, and preen in front of a sleek modern vanity with a square vessel sink, under a charming French Provincial mirror, a wonderful example of a perfect balance being struck between complementary styles.

The main bedroom has French doors providing external access and the three piece ensuite that will suit all, with an oversized shower, which also has the luxury of a rainfall showerhead.

The crisp clean black and white kitchen has a composite stone benchtop, good cupboard space and a stainless steel upright electric stove. In addition to this, the butlers pantry, with its own basin, houses the dishwasher, and provides extra cupboards and benchtop workspace, as well as incorporating a space for the washing machine, nullifying the need for separate laundry.

The lounge is very pretty with a freestanding solid fuel heater which provides both warmth and ambience, and for instant comfort, a nice big reverse cycle split-system has also been installed. A reversible ceiling fan assists with both heating and cooling as well. NBN is connected. Lovely garden or country views, are all you will see through your windows.

Outside a nice big house yard is well fenced with steel posts and ringlock. Apart from this there are 3 main grazing paddocks suitable for all forms of livestock. The whole property is picturesque and verdant, mostly cleared, with a scattering of trees and tree lined boundaries.

Ample water is provided through 5,000 gallons of  tank water storage and a large dam. For vehicle storage and maintenance a large double garage / workshop has an extra roller door on the side and an adjacent large concrete pad for an extra work surface.

If you want a nice country lifestyle, picturesque and private, with convenience to Bendigo, on the Melbourne side of town, not too big and not too small, you need to come and see if this one is going to be just right for you and your family.
