255 Lagoon Road

North Blackwood VIC 3458

One of the earliest properties in the district is this botanical wonderland guarded by ancient Pines, Redwoods and Cedars an idyllic setting only 5 minutes from cosmopolitan Trentham.

The Victorian home has been extended and modernised, today offering everything we expect with ducted zoned heating and cooling throughout along with all the mod cons. Brilliant accommodation of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, all with underfloor heating. The original cedar lined dining room is connected to the hallway with beautiful spotted gum floors leading to the informal living spaces all overlooking the gardens and down to the mesmerising lake stocked with Australian Perch and Yabbies.

The gardens need to be experienced to be fully appreciated with a mixture of structured reticulated lawns and hedging to meandering garden rooms down to the parkland surrounding the spring fed lake. Remnants of the 19th century include the Rhododendrons, English Box hedging and fruit trees which have been enhanced by under plantings today providing an explosion of colour for most of the year.

Fantastic infrastructure includes the original farm outbuildings to the recently constructed 21 x 7m shed which has remote control garaging, carpeted air-conditioned studio, additional storage and discretely houses 6.6KW of solar generation. There is an abundance of water mainly from the potable solar powered bore which is held in tanks then reticulated throughout the garden and property. There are 3 paddocks providing options for farming pursuits or allow a neighbouring farmer to cut hay as the current owners do.

The Pines is rich in history and above all will provide the news owners a wonderful quality of life.
