39 Christopher Crescent

Set on approximately 5 acres of established, park-like grounds, this substantial Woodend property offers a rare combination of space, privacy and flexibility, with a large family residence and a fully self-contained cottage suited to multigenerational living or rental use. A sweeping full-length verandah frames the main residence, overlooking expansive lawns, terraced gardens and mature trees that define the property's character. Inside, a wide entrance hall leads to multiple living zones including formal lounge and dining areas, flowing through to a generous open-plan kitchen, meals and family space designed for everyday living. Interiors feature decorative wall panelling and solid Blackbutt flooring upstairs. The kitchen is equipped with modern Bosch appliances including an induction cooktop, and there are well-appointed bathrooms throughout. Upstairs, a light-filled living area opens onto a spectacular, large elevated balcony, creating a beautiful retreat to relax or entertain, with views across the gardens and towards Mount Macedon. The home has four well-proportioned bedrooms, including an over-sized main suite with walk-in robe, ensuite and private balcony. Upstairs there is also a study and a beautifully appointed central bathroom, plus an additional bathroom downstairs. Heating and cooling are well considered, with underfloor heating to tiled ground floor areas, wood-fired hydronic heating throughout, and reverse cycle air conditioning to the living area. Character features such as high ceilings and decorative detailing add to the home's overall appeal. A fully detached one-bedroom cottage provides genuine flexibility for extended family, guest accommodation or rental income. With its own heating and cooling, it offers a private and functional living space separate from the main residence. The property is well supported by extensive infrastructure, including solar power, a large garage with substantial storage capacity, multiple sheds suitable for workshop, storage or rural use, and a semi-underground wine cellar. The grounds have been developed over decades and feature a significant collection of mature trees, including 50-year-old oaks, linden trees, various species of pine and a flowering Japanese crab apple, complemented by native eucalypts. Mature shade trees create multiple outdoor zones for entertaining and relaxation, including a spa positioned within a garden setting. Two dams with pumps service a reticulated garden watering system. There is also substantial tank storage for the house (54,000 litres). A productive orchard including stone fruits, berries, citrus and a dedicated chook house reinforce the property's self-sufficient capability, while open rear paddocks provide space for animals such as alpacas, sheep or a pony. Privately positioned on sealed roads and just minutes from Woodend township, the property offers convenient access to cafés, schools and transport, while maintaining a strong sense of rural seclusion.
