Whatever your vision the infrastructure is already in place. The Main House Arriving via a circular driveway, a welcoming front verandah sets the tone. Step inside to a generous dining room with a bay window and split system, flowing through to the kitchen with pantry and freestanding gas cooktop and oven. From here, external access leads to a spectacular north-facing alfresco deck, 5.4m x 10.1m, where the views of Mount Alexander and the surrounding landscape will stop every conversation mid-sentence. The rear lounge echoes that same outlook through its bay window, warmed by a solid wood heater and served by a further split system. An adjoining bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet completes this wing. Central to the home is a practical office with Euro laundry. Two front-facing bedrooms sit at the front of the ground floor, one with built-in robes, the second with its own ensuite featuring shower, toilet and vanity. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with two further bedrooms, each with split systems and one with an ensuite. A sitting room transitions into a spacious rumpus room with a split system and storage room, while a well-appointed bathroom with a shower over spa bath, vanity and toilet rounds out this level beautifully. The Cottage with Studio Private and self-contained from the main house, the second dwelling offers open-plan kitchen, dining and living warmed by a solid wood heater, with double doors opening onto a patio where the views do the talking. Two bedrooms, one with split system, and a bathroom with shower over spa bath, vanity and toilet complete the cottage. Accessed independently, a studio space with a solid wood heater, split system and its own bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet provides further accommodation flexibility, ideal for guests, a creative retreat, or a private office. A covered patio takes in the surrounding countryside in style. The Grounds & Features A circular driveway leads to a garage and double carport. The low-maintenance garden is thoughtfully established for privacy, complemented by a water tank and solar panels. With approximately 2.58 acres at your disposal, there is ample room to extend the garden, keep chickens, or even accommodate a horse, the kind of gentle, self-sufficient lifestyle that this corner of Central Victoria does so well. The setting is elevated and quiet, with those commanding views over Guildford's rooftops to Mount Alexander and Mount Franklin providing a constant, grounding reminder of just how special this part of the world truly is.
