Have you been looking for space for your family to live and play, enjoying an outdoor lifestyle, but not too far from work, schools and shopping? Axedale is only 15 minutes from Bendigo – and this is a quiet home retreat that ticks all of the boxes.

A picturesque 2.6 acre landscape bordering the Campaspe River reserve, quiet afternoons will be spent fishing and taking leisurely walks soaking in the tranquillity and beauty of the natural surrounds.

The home amply caters for a busy family lifestyle. The main bedroom has a walk in robe and ensuite, built in robes complete bedrooms 2 and 3, and all bedrooms have ceiling fans. There’s also a study, formal lounge with solid fuel heating, and an open plan kitchen/meals with a huge adjoining living space which overlooks the expansive covered deck.

The existing double garage has been professionally converted to an extra living area. Proving flexibility and versatility, the room currently serves as guest quarters, however would make a wonderful teenage retreat, play room for younger children, or a fantastic hobby room for collectors or craft-lovers.

The home is kept comfortable year round through ducted evaporative cooling, and multiple split system units in the living space, main bedroom and converted guest room.

Indoor-outdoor living makes sense when it’s been cleverly thought through like this. Spill outside and enjoy balmy evenings listening to the river bubble along, or have a party and splash around in the in-ground swimming pool. Finish up the night story telling around the pinterest-worthy fire pit.

Cars and vehicles are amply accommodated – a double carport adjoins a free-standing double garage, and a separate small machinery shed can be accessed in two directions, which makes a perfect workspace for hobby cars.

If you were interested in small scale animal keeping, there is a dam and round stock yards already in place, as well as paddock fencing and plenty of native grasses for grazing.
