Very pleasing to the eye also is the beauty of the home with tall fescue lawn bordering the faade. Generous skillion verandahs dress the residence and accentuate its stunning curvaceous design and generous proportions. The decorative quoin corners of the brick walls add another texture and highlight the definition and form. The jutting rooflines formed by clean colorbond appear to crown what is a most attractive exterior. Approaching 3 years young, the beauty of the home goes beyond its looks and delightful dcor, to its steel frame, clever design and quality construction.

Whether you have a large family or simply value having space to move comfortably, you will certainly be impressed by the sheer magnitude of this home. The very spacious main bedroom is favoured with a dressing room size walk-through robe and excellent ensuite. Three further generously proportioned bedrooms and a bathroom are clustered away from the main living areas. Two have walk-in robes and one has a built-in robe. The heart of the home is the open plan kitchen with outstanding butler's pantry, dining and family space. Windows are furnished with day and night blinds, there is solid fuel heating, and reverse cycle split system air conditioning units. Satellite NBN is connected, or like the current family you may prefer to use Starlink.

Cleverly positioned windows and doors throughout seamlessly connect you with the outdoor living options, frame views, and draw in natural sunlight, warmth and fresh airflows. The home is incredibly well insulated and maintains a comfortable average of 20 degrees year-round for the current family. There are stone bench tops, quality appliances and tapware, and excellent cabinetry and storage throughout. There is also a generous formal living room and a library/office. Under the main roof line is a double garage with rear PA door, direct internal access to the home and an auto roller door.

The expansive outdoor entertaining area has a built-in barbeque, bar fridge, bench top, cupboards and power. It overlooks a fire pit area and raised veggie garden including a creeping passion fruit. It also overlooks the glistening clear water of the in-ground salt chlorinated pool, with colour changing lights. The electric pool pump enables you to heat and cool the water to your desired temperature (which is free, care of the suns rays being captured into your self-sufficient solar systems). Most notably however, is the breathtaking view of Mount Camel, framed by leafy green trees and clear blue skies.

Self-sufficiency has been key to the design of this property which generates and stores its own power supply from two solar and battery systems one for the home and one dedicated to the shed. The drive-through colorbond shed has a concrete floor, measures 20m x 12m and has 4.8m and 2.4m door heights. It has mezzanine storage and was originally lived in while the home was being built. There is scope to utilise the shed as a dependent person's residence with the permission of city of greater Bendigo. It has a kitchenette, shower, solid fuel heating, reverse cycle split system air-conditioning, and instantaneous gas hot water. Or you may see spaces for music rooms, hobbies or additional storage.

This is a prime position for equally easy access to McIvor Highway and the Northern Highway. Here you will find you frequent the Toolleen Pub to satisfy your need for a warm welcome, a remarkable meal, a yarn with the friendly patrons; and to pick the brain of the wise and well-connected publican. Inside of 15mins you will reach Heathcote, which is a welcoming, active and close-knit community; and has a sophisticated local economy. It is widely recognised as one of Australia's finest wine regions and for its produce, art, independent boutiques and lively shopping and dining precinct.

This is also a prime position as a gateway to Lake Eppalock and is 1hr to the Murray River in Echuca for picnics, swimming, fishing and water skiing. Drive to Bendigo in 30mins and Melbourne in 90mins. Or utilise the excellent rail or bus network to Melbourne, Bendigo and Echuca for school, university work and leisure. You're invited to this harmonious place for you and your family to live and grow.
