It is all about aesthetics and appeal here. The home has been positioned to provide the most romantic and spectacular views from all of the living areas including of course the alfresco entertaining area and lovely private sitting areas in the gardens around the home. One might expect in such a location as this, that the views will be the real focus however the residence is in and of itself, very giving.

Gracious and beautiful inside and out with so many features to adore, yet remaining perfectly elegant and not at all overstated. Bold colours create warmth and a sense of strength and character as they punctuate the contrast of the crisp white decorative finishes such as deep skirting boards, richly patterned architraves and cornice outlining high ceilings where roses complement chandeliers.

This house exudes class beginning at the front door which is inlaid with a stained glass leadlight rose under a transom window. It welcomes you into an entry foyer where tessellated tiles can lead you left, directly into the sitting room, one of the three living spaces within, or draw you straight forward through the gorgeous carpeted hallway with wainscot wall panelling, a traditional pendant light and corbelled arches to pass under at each end.

The hall open onto a lavish lounge graced with a gas log fire set into an ornate antique style overmantle with classical tiles in keeping with the delicious plum coloured walls to immerse you in opulence. French doors provide you with the versatility of keeping the sitting room as a separate zone or expanding your entertaining space by opening the doors to merge the lounge and sitting room, where a wonderful lit alcove is ideal to display a piano, your library or even a bar, it's really up to you to decide which of your treasures deserve to occupy this notable space.

The third living area is less formal but no less lovely and is likely to be where close friends and family will let themselves in and help themselves to a cuppa. Here an open plan kitchen, dining, living space is delightfully liveable with carpet or cork floors. The kitchen features solid timber benchtops, a step in pantry, wall oven and dishwasher making it supremely functional and the perfect place to cook up a storm.

This living room is filled with natural light by virtue of a large bay window, in fact this room has windows on five sides so you can really indulge in the distant views across an undulating landscape where eagles soar overhead, or simply relax and chat, bathed in the warmth and ambience of a freestanding wood heater.

Two of the three bedrooms have built-in-robes and are serviced by a traditional four piece bathroom with gorgeous brass fittings, while the master bedroom has a stunning box window, walk-in-robe and three piece ensuite with a corner shower.

A wonderful design feature of this home is a slate tiled mudroom with a whole wall of closet space for shoes coats and whatever else you want to keep handy. It offers direct access through the laundry, to the bathroom making easy to keep the house clean even as you work in the garden or the nearby shed.

The garden is a joy with the scent of wattle in the air, a huge rosemary patch and a roundabout path encompassing a pond that is flanked with symmetrical timber arbours. A dripper system takes care of it for you and water is plentiful with two dams, and three tanks totalling 80,000 litres of storage capacity. A three bay Colorbond shed incorporates a double garage with two roller doors and a separate workshop, all with a concrete floor, power and lights.

This property really provides you with the privilege of a serene sanctuary that is whisper quiet but for the birdlife, wild and rugged yet picturesque and peaceful. You would never guess that you are only 15 minutes from a shopping centre in Kangaroo Flat or from historic Maldon, approximately 20 minutes from either Bendigo or Castlemaine and a very handy 90 minutes from the Melbourne fringe being on the Melbourne side of Bendigo.
