6 Sixth Street, Hepburn Springs, VIC, 3461, Australia

A most wanted poster prepared by those seeking a permanent tree-change, holiday home or permanent rental/Airbnb would certainly describe this delightful retreat. Tucked away behind perennially popular Rubens Restaurant, it has all the identifying features.

Exuding the kind of designer style that would look perfectly at ease on the pages of a glossy magazine, the interior showcases a living and dining zone floored in rich timber and warmed by the romantic glow of a gas-log fireplace. Balancing intimacy with function, a two-person spa with multiple jets promotes relaxation and reduces stress. When you're not eating out at one of the many surrounding foodie-oriented restaurants, the streamlined kitchen makes cooking an easy task with sleek benchtops and stainless-steel oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher. Sliding doors open onto a soul-soothing alfresco entertaining deck stepping down to a wraparound courtyard where there is plenty of room to dine under the stars and stage shaded seating and relaxed eating nooks amid a canopy of established trees and chorus of birdsong. Fitted with built-in robes, the bedroom is treated to an ensuite bathroom and personal deck access. A split-system air conditioner, car space, storeroom, water tank and classy sliding Plantation Shutters are further highlights.

Ready move into without having to do another thing, the lock-up-and-leave package is sure to provide rewarding lifestyle and financial dividends in the heart of Hepburns Springs Village. Within easy walking distance to fine dining and bars including the Savoia Hotel and Frank and Connie's, the mineral water bathing at iconic Hepburn Bathhouse and the cocktails and live music at The Palais, it's also a short 3-minute drive away from Daylesford's main shopping and dining-out strip.
