Tylden VIC 3444

Undoubtedly one of the Macedon Ranges landmark properties. The solid beauty of the bluestone residence merges a rich history with the 21st century making for a supremely comfortable and functional family home. A magnificent garden, extensive outbuildings and the ability for farming pursuits combine to deliver a significant rural holding an hour from Melbourne CBD.

The substantial home is entered via the "living" wing, where period grandeur and detail seamlessly blend with modern convenience. Family living and entertaining are a delight in the expansive lounge/dining room with a vaulted timber ceiling and French doors that spill out to the patio and gardens. The adjoining sitting room and recently renovated country kitchen allow for more intimate living spaces. The atrium is the pathway through the home; double glazing and underfloor heating create a bright and warm space for children to play. The "bedroom" wing is the epitome of historic charm and grace, with stained-glass windowpanes, polished floorboards, open fireplaces and a verandah to enjoy the northerly aspect.

The garden has evolved over the lifetime of the property with a plethora of plantings from impressive to productive; wonderfully mature European trees, formal hedging, vast drifts of daffodils, an orchard and a veggie patch. There are low maintenance and functional outbuildings; a summer house, barn, cottage and shearing shed. Along with extensive infrastructure, including ample water and quality post and rail fencing to clearly delineate the homestead and surrounding garden from the farm. The land is ideal for horses, cattle, sheep or hay.
