Nestled in the foothills of Mt Alexander and set in picturesque cottage gardens, historic Atherstone offers the perfect retreat or an enviable lifestyle.
The new owner will be inspired by the ambience of ‘Atherstone’s’ tranquil garden setting and large lake (with 6 mega litre water rights). There’s a lot to take in, with an 1860s Granite Stone Cottage, 2 light and bright large Stone Studios an additional Timber Studio, fully functional Stables with horse wash and hay Storage Barn, a full size Dressage Arena, separate horse paddocks and an additional Dam.
With 4 generations of the original settler having lived at ‘Atherstone’ it remained a tightly held family property until it was snapped up by celebrated artist Robert Jacks over 29 years ago. The ever popular Harcourt district boasts 13 local galleries and borders the Heathcote Wine District, Castlemaine and Daylesford Spas. The area has been the home of, and inspiration to, many creative artists and writers over the decades.
Today, rural spreads with the providence of ‘Atherstone’ are very hard to find, as a subdivision ban prohibits blocks outside town boundaries to be fewer than 40 hectares and with 4 titles this property takes on a unique, historic, different, original, romantic and special status.
