72 Buckeye Lane

Ravenswood VIC 3453

The open-plan living space is characterised by a soaring raked, timber-lined ceiling, French doors, solid fuel heating and the ultimate country kitchen. It features duel stainless-steel ovens, black shaker doors and pot drawers, plus stone benchtops. Beyond the kitchen is a wonderful space which serves as a butler's pantry, laundry and mudroom.
Three of the five bedrooms have walk-in-robes. The master suite has a wide sliding door to the front veranda, and an ensuite that's all class. The fifth bedroom doubles as a living space and library nook, located upstairs under a cove ceiling with skylight windows.
There are split systems in all bedrooms, deemed efficient thanks to solar panels. Retrofitted double-glazed windows throughout add to the home's energy efficiency.
Outside is an entertainer's dream. A local craftsman spent nine months laying the Castlemaine sandstone paving and retaining walls, which surround the pool and alfresco. There's an outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue, pizza oven, sink and fridge, plus an open fireplace.
The heated pool can be enjoyed all year-round thanks to its ingenious European-designed, UV protected covering, which concertinas back to allow indoor or outdoor play. Your children will likewise love the adventure treehouse! The 177m2 shed includes a workshop. Plus, there's a carport beside the house.
At the rear of the property is a little gem worthy of its own story. Here, find Ravenswood's original 19th century railway workers hut, restored and repurposed. Polished floorboards and timber-lined walls and cove ceiling are beautiful, as is the small kitchen and bathroom. Reserve it for your guests or claim it as an inspiring, creative studio.
This truly is a one-off property of remarkable natural beauty. Take the easy 15-kilometre drive from central Bendigo to view.
