15 Boyds Road, Lockwood, VIC, 3551, Australia

If you've been looking for a property that has a good sized family home with plenty of versatile spaces, also with ample shedding, out in the country but still convenient to town, and on the Melbourne side of Bendigo, to make it easy for those who frequently commute for work, footy, visiting family and friends, or to be handy to the airport, then you need to put this 10 acre property at the top of your inspection list.

The home is brick and while you could move right in, there's plenty of scope to renovate or refurbish and add value. Three of the four bedrooms have built-in-robes, the main bedroom has a walk-in-robe and four piece ensuite which includes a corner spa, the other three bedrooms are serviced by a three-piece bathroom, while a separate powder room or third toilet services the rumpus room at the other end of the home.

The galley style kitchen is lovely and modern with an appliance hutch, an electric cooktop and wall oven, a corner pantry and a meals area with a very pretty servery to the lounge where a brick fireplace with a timber mantle has an inset solid fuel heater.

Adjoining the lounge through double sliding doors is a formal dining area, however you could use this carpeted room for anything you like including a play area for small children, a gaming room for teens, or a home office. To ensure your families year-round comfort, ducted electric reverse cycle heating and cooling is installed.

The rumpus room, being a converted garage, is large enough to be used for whatever purpose you may wish, it would make an ideal billiard room, and has its own reverse cycle air conditioner and direct external access. As if this wasn't enough there's also a living room with sliding door access to the back Verandah and entertaining deck which overlooks the inground pool within the fenced house yard.

Also ideal for a large or extended family is ample undercover parking provided by a double carport annexed to the home, a 6m X 12m shed with an office or workshop, plus front and rear access allowing room for 3 more vehicles, and a 7m x 12m highset shed with the roller door which would also be ideal for a tradesperson or storage of a caravan, speedboat or other large machinery.

The property itself is a largely untouched native setting, perfect if you want to get back to nature or even to zip around on a motorbike. There are two good size dams and a third smaller one, and three large concrete tanks to provide a good water supply.

Other sundry shedding includes a dog yard and an old cricket pitch that you could restore if you wanted. A crushed rock, circular drive off Boyd's road, provides drive in, drive out access, and the second driveway off Merindah Road, which is sealed, leads to the rear of the carport.

While you will feel well and truly out of town you are conveniently under 10 minutes to Kangaroo flat, which is Bendigo's gateway suburb to Melbourne, with all its shops and amenities, and only 20 minutes to Castlemaine as well. This is a great opportunity for a tree change with all the advantages of town nearby.
