801 Edwards Rd, Marong is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom House with 15 parking spaces and was built in 1935. The property has a land size of 77399m2 and floor size of 455m2. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in January 2021.
We are delighted to showcase this classic property, one of a handful of homesteads in the Marong district retaining the rich history of a strong farming heritage from years gone by. This property still offers great scope for an additional income and an obvious lifestyle change with the luxury of a short drive to Bendigo! The 20-acre (approximately) property has frontage to Bullock Creek, the soil consist of mostly a good sandy loam from the surrounding creek flats, there's an extraordinary amount of shedding and a 10.5mgl water right; an in-ground pool, tennis court and much more.
On entry, behind the established grounds, lush greenery and towering pine trees is this lovely 1930's homestead which boasts big rooms, high ceilings, wide passageways and a large extension; original veranda and eaves for protection from the enduring sun. There are four carpeted bedrooms, all have built-in-robes; the master forms part of the extension, it is quite large and boasts a modern bathroom with hung vanity, toilet and walk-in shower and its own smaller living space or vestibule which has access to the pool area.
Living space consists of the original lounge room which boasts a lovely corner window, picture rails, open fireplace with featured mantel - it really is a lovely room. The central hub connects the newer extension and the original homestead. There is the timber kitchen which features a 900mm stainless cooker, dishwasher, lots of cabinetry and a small commercial cool-room. Adjacent is the light and bright meals area which takes in the morning sun and looks out towards the lovely established grounds.
To the other side of the kitchen is the huge main living space which is 6.3m x 7.8m in size and will fit plenty of people for any occasion. There are colonial windows, a large fireplace, a large reverse-cycle split-system and there's a bar (yes, a classic bar that serves drinks) dividing the kitchen and family rooms.
The huge family bathroom and laundry are nearby with external access; the toilet is separate, and everything is well spread-out.
Outside is the large inground pool (with small pump-house) which is fenced with extensive paving, there's a full-size and fully fenced tennis court with night lights and it's own gazebo. At the end of the large living space there is a double carport (offering covered access to the house).
Practically speaking, this property has everything:
2 x 22,500lt rainwater tanks (both connected to each other with a pressure-pump).
10.5mgl Water Right direct to dams
2 x dams - all both a reasonable size, one has a pressure pump - connected to a well close to the house
Large sprinklers for the front grounds around the home
Shed 1 - 23m x 11m powered, mechanics pit, sliding doors all one side
Shed 2 - 15m x 8m powered with 3 stables and a tac room
Other sundry sheds, an old bungalow... the list goes on.
Established trees surrounding the home and lovely large gums aligning the creek and other parts of the allotment.
THE FACTS:
The surrounds are irreplaceable and the home is beautiful, it just needs some structural / cosmetic work inside to get it back to its original grandeur.
The grounds and outbuildings are mostly in good order, improvements could be done.
The property is only 15 mins to Bendigo and an easy commute to Melbourne.
There is great scope for viticulture, hobby farming or other income - the soil is excellent and the 10.5mgl water right is plenty for this land parcel.
Properties like this cannot be replicated, they are made over time and limited in numbers. Acreage, period charm, plenty of extras and location.
