Welshmans Reef VIC 3462

The all-weather driveway winds gently through a substantial 27acre (10.9ha) arriving at a grassy knoll where the brick and Colourbond family home enjoys commanding views over picturesque Cairn Curran Reservoir, Mt Franklin and surrounding farmland. Maximising its northerly aspect and designed for relaxed living, the interior is free-flowing and generously proportioned. Feature windows fill the interior with natural light and deliver sublime views from most rooms. The lounge is light and airy, glass sliders opening to the front verandah; the perfect place to kick back, enjoy alfresco dining and entertainment and take in the views. Beyond the spacious dining zone is a kitchen that more than meets every need. Large north-facing windows and a dual aspect ensure a light-filled U-shaped space allowing for ease of movement between the 900mm Falcon gas/electric cooker, large pantry and dishwasher. Three queen bedrooms, all with build in robes share a centrally located family bathroom. The king-size premier suite has a large walk-in robe and spacious ensuite. There's a dedicated home office/study and a good-size laundry with linen press and external access. Additional features include easy-care European tiled floors throughout, ducted gas and slow combustion heating, reverse-cycle air-conditioning and ceiling fans.

Beyond the home, significant infrastructure lays the foundations for this property to realise its versatile potential. Rising from flat at the road through to undulating and hilly, the land is cleared and dotted with shade trees and boasts a large dam. There's a fully fenced 60m x 20m training/dressage arena and substantial 18m x 7.2m galvanised shed with large front and rear sliding doors plus 20,000gal rainwater tanks. Set on a concrete slab and with power and water, at one end there are two well-constructed stables. In the middle a 12mx6m workshop/garage. At the far end and accessible via French doors, a spacious self-contained studio with living area, kitchenette, bedroom and dual access bathroom with vanity, bath, shower and toilet is an ideal teenager's/guest retreat or BnB venue. A second, 12m x 7.8m galvanised shed with sliding door offers a multitude of uses including garaging/plant and machinery storage.

Picturesque Welshmans Reef lies midway between historic Maldon and the Newstead village (10mins). The major centres of Castlemaine (20mins), Daylesford (30mins) and Bendigo (40mins) are all within easy reach making retail, commercial and all levels of education needs easily accessible. There are improvements to be made and the room for individual touches remains, but the foundations are strong and the potential to develop the versatile acreage into a property suitable for horses, alpacas, cattle, hobby farming, tradesman's base and recreational activities is not only unlimited but very enticing. So much potential. Create the lifestyle you've always wanted.
