Sedgwick VIC 3551

This3.7ha-9.2ac property is a low maintenance operation which enjoys being sited in the Sedgwick / Sutton Grange rolling farm scape. Red gums, rolling hills, birds galore and seven fenced off paddocks for those looking to add a few larger pets. So private, not a neighbour to be seen from the home and yet is a quick trip to Bendigo, Castlemaine and Melbourne . Inspection is highly recommended in this beautiful part of Victoria.
Situated less than 20 minutes to Bendigo and Castlemaine plus 1.25 hours to Melbourne Airport, this beautiful and centrally located property is well established and ready to be enjoyed. Initially set up as an intensive alpaca farm, all the fencing has been completed along with a central laneway. The farm has extensive shelter belts of natives as well as superb perimeter plantings to give great privacy and quiet. There is one good sized dam, a fowl coup and run, steel garden shed plus 2 large rainwater tanks. There is an extensive collection of raised and very low maintenance garden beds complete with attractive natives and their flowers. There is also a handy collection of fruit trees plus deciduous and ornamental plants throughout. The bird life has to be seen and listened to. One neighbour has listed just under 100 bird species which is understandable given the farm is between Axe Creek and the Pilchers Bridge Flora and Fauna Reserve (300 metres away). A resident echidna even calls it home. To the west are superb views of the Mt Alexander granite ranges, to the north you can see the Axe Creek red gums running beneath the Sedgwick hills and to the east grasslands which stop at the Reserve. The circular drive is approx. 300 metres off the sealed Sutton Grange Rd and continues to either the carport for direct access into the house or to the laneway / paddock. The front of house has an extensive viewing and entertaining deck which is north facing and ideal for year round use. The 2003 built red brick home has a northern aspect and receives plenty of direct winter warmth courtesy of its design. The open planned kitchen, meals and lounge space soaks up all this light and winter sun, with wide eaves that keep it cool over the summer. A galley style kitchen offers plenty of bench and storage space, with any further area required being available in the adjoining scullery and walk in pantry. This is an ingenious set up complete with a second sink area and more benches. The large main bedroom has its own walk in robe plus an expansive ensuite. A recently completed wheelchair friendly conversion sees plenty of room to move in the 3 piece bathroom. The second bedroom is at the other end of the residence and adjoins the main bathroom whilst there is a third bedroom or study / studio / office which is north facing and opens into the living area. A charming wood heater in the main living area is accompanied by a reverse cycle aircon as well as a RCAC unit in the main bedroom plus ceiling fan.
