Set within a quiet pocket close to Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, this beautiful double-storey country retreat captures the essence of relaxed rural living, framed by a truly breathtaking outlook. Sweeping views stretch across Breakneck Gorge to the rolling horizons of the Elevated Plains, creating a daily connection to nature and sky. Positioned on approximately 880 sq.m, the setting feels peaceful and private, offering a genuine escape from everyday life. Inside, the home reflects a refined country aesthetic—light-filled, welcoming and effortlessly comfortable. A soft, contemporary palette enhances the sense of calm, while large picture windows invite the surrounding landscape indoors. On the lower level at the entry, a generously proportioned room currently used for formal dining also lends itself as an elegant sitting room or secondary living space. Adjoining the entry, a discreet home office provides an ideal setting for remote work, creativity, or a private library. The spacious open-plan living and kitchen zone forms the heart of the home, centred around a Ned Kelly wood fire for cosy winter evenings, complemented by a split system for year-round comfort. The central kitchen is a cook’s delight, offering generous storage and bench space while remaining open and connected for easy entertaining. Also on this level, the master bedroom features a walk-in robe and a beautifully renovated dual-access bathroom, alongside a practical laundry and separate toilet. Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms include built-in robes, charming dormer windows, and soaring coved ceilings, with access to generous lined under-roof storage. A newly constructed composite deck embraces the panoramic views, perfect for slow mornings and sunset gatherings. The low-maintenance grounds feature a fire pit, a lined carport and insulated garage with wood heater while the star of the show is a locally crafted pizza oven that goes well beyond pizza—perfect for roasting, baking and a variety of wood-fired cooking. Just minutes from Daylesford and within easy reach of Castlemaine, the location delivers an ideal balance of peaceful seclusion and everyday convenience. With the primary school, kindergarten, and golf course all within walking distance, it is perfectly suited to both families and lifestyle seekers. Nearby favourites include the historic Bellinzona Hotel, The Argus Dining Room, the mineral-rich waters of Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa, and the scenic forest trails of Hepburn Regional Park. Blending panoramic beauty, relaxed interiors, and timeless country charm, this Hepburn home offers an inspiring lifestyle opportunity—an ideal permanent residence or a cherished weekend escape in one of regional Victoria’s most sought-after settings.
