Set on approximately 5416sqm and elevated above the township, this four-bedroom home is all about the view, with sightlines over the village of Guildford and out to Mount Alexander and the rolling countryside beyond, visible from almost every room. From the top of the property, the outlook takes in the village itself, while a 7.6kW solar system and solar hot water bring genuine efficiency to this elevated setting. Enjoy the ease of village life with Guildford just 800 metres away, Castlemaine a 13-minute drive, and Daylesford around 20 minutes by car.Designed along passive solar principles, the home is oriented to the north and set back from the street to capture both the outlook and the sun, filling the living spaces with natural north light throughout the day. A wrap around deck runs the length of the house, giving you a front row seat to the view over morning coffee or evening drinks.A formal lounge opens through sliding doors to the verandah, framing the view beyond. At the centre of the home, the open-plan living and dining area brings the household together around a wood heater and split system, with sliding doors leading straight out to the deck and that ever-changing outlook over Mount Alexander. The kitchen is fitted with a freestanding gas cooktop, dishwasher, and a wrap around bench positioned to take in the same view while you cook.Two bedrooms sit at the front of the home, one with built in robes and the other, front facing, with a walk in robe. Both share a bathroom with shower, vanity and toilet. Two further bedrooms are tucked at the rear, each with built in robes, serviced by a second bathroom where the bath sits beneath a window that captures the north light and the view across the pastures, alongside a separate shower, vanity and toilet.Outside, there is plenty of room to make your mark with landscaping across the level 5416sqm (approx.) block, all with the same backdrop of hills and open sky. From the top of the block, the view stretches over the village of Guildford itself, a vantage point for a property so close to town. A shed with an attached wood shed, three large water tanks, a chicken pen and a circular driveway leading to a carport round out this well-equipped property. Town water is connected for added peace of mind.With its passive solar design, north-facing orientation, 7.6kW solar system and solar hot water, this elevated, quiet setting with its ever-present view is a wonderful place to put down roots in the Guildford township.
