Nestled away from the hustle and bustle on 3 acres, yet just an easy 1km stroll from the historic charm and convenience of Maldon Village, this warm and inviting mud brick style home offers a genuine escape. The moment you arrive, the blend of classic character and modern updates, all set within the tranquil, park-like gardens, will draw you in. Frequent sightings of kangaroos, native birds and echidnas add to the sense of being immersed in nature, making it feel like a true retreat.

The heart of the home is a living and dining room that flows into a refurbished kitchen, complete with subway-tiled splashbacks. Both bedrooms share a spacious, modern bathroom finished in rich, moody tones, adding a touch of contemporary elegance. The bathroom also includes a concealed European laundry, offering storage and convenience without compromising on space. Picture windows in every room bring the outside in, filling the home with light and providing a connection to the outdoors. The warmth of slate floors, the crackling fireplace, and split-system air conditioning add to the appeal.

Stepping outside, a covered deck offers the ideal spot for entertaining or enjoying a quiet morning coffee, with views that stretch across the gently sloping garden and beyond, to the never-to-be-built-on landscape, giving the feeling of having a private park on your doorstep. At the end of the deck is a bath with hot water. Such a lovely place to spend some relaxing time at the end of a hard day. The gardens have a charming, low-maintenance appeal, with ample room to wander and enjoy multiple alfresco spaces for gatherings with friends or family, while the dedicated firepit areas provide idyllic settings for stargazing evenings. A short stroll through the garden brings you to a small studio with views across the gardens, where you can work in privacy or lay back and read a book in peace. Additionally, there's ample space to add value with a potential extension to the house in the future (STCA).

Additional features include two front double gates leading to a semi-circular driveway, making access easy for vehicles. There is a 6x6m shed with roller door and a 6x9m carport with storage at the rear. Plus a 3x3m garden storage shed.

The property also offers an 880sqm fenced area, for keeping livestock such as chickens, sheep, goats, or even a horse. There are two large 30,000L water tanks to cater to the garden's needs, while town water services the house. There is also a grey water system under the back deck.

Located just 95 minutes from Melbourne and a quick 15-minute drive to Castlemaine, this property offers a serene lifestyle with the comforts of urban living close by. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat, a home with room to grow, or a tree-change surrounded by nature, it delivers a unique opportunity to enjoy the best of country living with easy access to amenities. They're a friendly bunch!

Maldon itself is a thriving village, with multiple festivals and events each year. I moved here from Sydney nearly 5 years ago and found a wonderful and inclusive community. Many of the people here come from larger towns and cities to find a more inclusive society. Some have weekenders and travel from Melbourne every weekend to enjoy some country life.

Two open for inspection days coming up in October. A number of people have asked for mid week private inspections. This is fine with me. Just request an appointment through this listing and I'll get back to you.
