A rare opportunity to be the next custodian of approximately 10 acres of Trentham's rich red, volcanic soil which has been home to potato crops, sheep grazing and a horse stud during its lifetime and is now home to a stylish farmhouse and hobby farm. Situated amongst some of Trentham's best farmland on desired Trentham Falls Road, this charming property is surrounded by towering majestic eucalypts and cypress creating a sense of privacy amongst the vast open spaces. Behind the handpicked basalt rock fence line, lies a character filled farm house style home which is warm and inviting. Built by the highly regarded local builders, Massina, in 1988 you are immediately struck by the quality of the home nestled amongst the beautiful, curated gardens of the house paddock. Enter via the rustic full length, red brick paved verandah you immediately find yourself in the light filled living areas of the home featuring gleaming hardwood floors and soaring ceilings creating space not often found in homes of this era. The central kitchen features granite bench tops, generous walk-in pantry, Fisher & Paykel dish-draw dishwasher and Technika gas cooktop, with views to the rear entertainer's deck and gardens beyond. The adjacent casual dining and living area is flooded with light from the large multi paned windows and is kept temperate by the inclusion of a split system unit. Imagine your artwork or collectibles showcased on these lovely 2.7-metre-high walls. The lounge room exudes country farm house charm, with the cathedral ceilings featuring exposed timber beams, very generous wood burning fire and beautiful sliding barn door which is as architectural as it is functional. The craftsman hardwood floors provide an allure all their own, creating a cosiness to this sizable space. Again this room is bookended by glass, featuring multi paned windows on one side and a large sliding door to the rear verandah and deck on the other. The home features four bedrooms, the master suite with walk in robe and private ensuite, and all the others with generous sliding built in robes providing great storage. The bedroom wing is joined by a family bathroom complete with deep spa bath, separate toilet, and very functional laundry with built in cabinetry. But the amenity outside is just as impressive! A two bay garage, with undercover access to the house means that you will never be caught in the rain and comes complete with concrete floor and power. Venture to the pasture paddocks and you will find all the infrastructure required to keep your very own farm animals. Currently housing chickens, Belted Galloways, sheep and alpacas, all lovingly watched over by Mac the Maremma, this is the hobby farm opportunity you have been looking for. Fully fenced with ring lock fencing, the farmland features three separate paddocks and two laneways to assist with the transfer of livestock and feeding. Each paddock is fully irrigated from the forty-two metre bore and pump, which provides water for both the animals and garden, ensuring the generous 130,000 litre tank need only service the home. In terms of shedding, the property includes a large 40ft x 20 ft shed with front and rear sliding doors, pedestrian door, concrete floor, power points and lights run from a separate meter box. Adjacent is the two bay tractor / hay shed complete with secure gates, and four separate 12ft x 12ft animal shelters / stables with sliding doors. A most impressive chicken coop and solidly fenced run will keep your feathered friends safe, and cattle yards with crush and loading ramp complete the picture. But rarely found on farm allotments are lovingly considered gardens which have been planted to have flowers in bloom all year round with an abundance of choice and colour. Wander around the house paddock and you will find established trees, ferns, and cottage garden beds. You will find rhododendrons, crab apples and a weeping cherry, amongst cool climate plantings of dozens of varieties of flowering perennials and over 1,000 springtime bulbs. This garden will bring joy in every season and provides an opportunity for a devoted gardener to tend it and take it to the next level. Known locally as Kelly's farm after the family who had held it for over 50 years, this property provides a new owner with the best of both worlds. A hobby farm opportunity for you to grow or graze whatever your heart desires all within a stone's throw to town. Come and be captivated by everything this property has to offer. Trentham is located at the foot of the Wombat State Forest, a 60 minute drive from Melbourne and situated only 20 minutes from the neighbouring towns of Daylesford, Kyneton and Woodend. With its awarded Golf Course and eateries including Annie Smithers' hatted Du Fermier, Trentham offers a thriving community and tree change lifestyle.
