From the moment you enter the tree-lined drive you can feel yourself start to unwind; relaxation starts immediately. 739 North Harcourt Road is a private and peaceful refuge, designed to offer an escape from the hustle and bustle. Surrounded by rolling green hills and everchanging skyscapes, you forget that Bendigo and Castlemaine are close by and Melbourne an easy 90-minute drive.

Blending the earthy, cosy feel of its mudbrick construction with its modern conveniences beautifully, this is a home to be lived in and enjoyed. A flexible floorplan allows for multiple living spaces and at least four bedrooms. Generous, the master has huge windows allowing in light and views plus access to the verandah and ensuite bathroom. The other bedrooms are also large and of varying configurations.

Light filled, the combined living, dining and kitchen overlook the 8m in-ground pool and open onto the outdoor entertaining area; the ideal flow of indoor/outdoor living. A feature fireplace plus covered and open-air spaces make the alfresco a versatile zone. Established gardens and well-placed plantings ensure privacy.

The practical needs of the property have also been well considered. A second driveway leads to the 15.8m x 8m shed/workshop with concrete floor and power connected. There is further assorted shedding, chook pen, dog run, wood storage, and the property has good fencing. Five tanks store a combined 90,000 litres of rainwater for the house and there are two spring fed dams plus a three-megalitre water right for stock and garden use. A 4.16kW solar system supports the mains power. A well-established country property for permanent living, semi-retirement or long weekend stays.
