- Perfectly situated on the Sedgwick Mandurang border only 15 minutes from the Bendigo CBD, this affordable entry level 5.38 acre hobby farm offers a very comfortable family home in a beautiful well established, lush green setting complemented with rich fertile paddocks and frontage to Emu Creek which meanders through the rear of the property.
- The mono-pitch roofline of this 70's style home is once again the hottest new thing in contemporary design and blends very sympathetically with natural surroundings.
