55-61 Mt Stanley Road, Stanley, VIC, 3747, Australia

In central Stanley, it is a delight to uncover this hidden gem right on the banks of Nine Mile Creek.

Within the surrounds of a colourful established garden, you will find a three-bedroom, two-bathroom family home, complete with an attached studio, plus a separate historic self-contained one-bedroom miners cottage.

The family home includes two separate living areas, an updated kitchen with soft closing drawers, a walk-in pantry and a 900mm stainless steel stove with a gas cooktop. The dining and family room, adjoining the kitchen, has a large and efficient wood heater. From here you can access the north-facing deck to enjoy your morning coffee.

The formal lounge room is carpeted and accesses the deck and a second outdoor area via French doors. This is the ideal BBQ setting in the garden.

A roomy mudbrick studio with gas heating is the perfect home studio or art space. It overlooks the garden via floor-to-ceiling, north-facing windows.

The master bedroom enjoys external garden access and a recently renovated ensuite.

With its origins dating back to the gold rush era of the 1850s, today the Miner's Cottage is a three-room dwelling with renovated timber kitchen and bathroom. It features gas and wood heating. A separate driveway and entrance away from the main home ensure flexibility for tenants or weekend guests.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed for bird attraction and year-round colour. With established plants such as rhododendrons, maples and blooming bulbs, the garden is supplied with fresh water via an electric pump from a 4 megalitre diversion licence from Nine Mile Creek.

Other improvements include a 5.5m x 5.5m ColorBond shed, a 7.8m x 5.2m high caravan carport, potters shed, vegetable beds and hen house.

Stanley is a vibrant and welcoming community at the foot of the Victorian Alps surrounded by the Milawa gourmet region, award-winning King Valley and Beechworth wineries, the famous Bridge Road and Billson's breweries, and is an easy three hours from Melbourne.

There are so many features of this property - only your warranted inspection will truly provide you with the feel and texture of this extraordinary property.
