Dreams really do come true.
This secluded 20-acre property commands sweeping easterly views, with the elevated residence beautifully positioned to take advantage of the natural landscape. Seasonal bursts of colourful native wattle in the gently undulating land reflect the well-chosen property name, Wattle Lea.
Offering an idyllic and tranquil lifestyle with access to walking and riding tracks yet only a short drive from Bendigo, there’s nothing more you could wish for!
This immaculately presented family home features 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a study. The house is complemented by a variety of outbuildings, including a large concrete-floored shed, two dams, and a 2 megalitre water right. Abundant light filters through the home from morning to night.
The outside is invited in with a bright, elegant formal living and dining area to entertain guests, whilst informal entertaining gravitates toward a generous family room. Enjoy a cosy fire on a winter’s day, as you look out over lush green paddocks to the lovely dam nestled in the local flora.
Five bedrooms and a study offer a multitude of opportunities. Whether you have several children still at home, require a home office, live with elderly parents or want to comfortably accommodate a blended family, this home will cater to all stages of your life.
Nearby the double carport, the spacious workshop can house many vehicles and includes bathroom amenities for the handyperson of the family.
