Property Details for 30 Donalds Rd, Woodend
Last Listing description (April 2023)
One of Woodend's oldest properties is offered for sale for the first time in 60 years. Originally a humble cottage, it is now a beautifully restored and extended country home. It has remained true to its heritage and is enveloped in an exquisite garden within 36 acres, encompassing cleared fields and a planting of some 28,000 trees along the boundary. Completely private and all within a two-minute drive to Woodend township.
Entry to the property is via a sweeping drive along which graceful copses of silver birches greet you, with the residence nestled in approximately an acre of manicured garden. The c1870 cottage was once a single-room dwelling, it is now lovingly and thoroughly restored, and reimagined. Comprising four bedrooms, two living spaces and two bathrooms, it provides the conveniences of modern times while retaining period features. Intimate spaces, a cosy ambience and complete country charm. The architect-designed extension has significantly expanded the footprint of the original residence. The superbly constructed addition flows harmoniously and is entirely complementary to the original cottage. The focal point is the spacious living room with its vaulted, timber-lined ceiling and outlook across the first of three interconnected dams, with Mount Macedon the backdrop.
The garden is simply a delight. It has been created within the framework of established trees, camellias and rhododendrons lavishly underplanted with an array of perennials. The extensive plantings include, but not restricted to; roses, salvias, buddleias, hellebores, aquilegias, anemones, valerian and comfrey, with one of the highlights being the resplendent "bulb walk". Relaxing spots to sit, reflect, gather and enjoy feature, along with a fully enclosed productive garden and a charming chicken run. Significant outbuildings include a sizable workshop/studio and garage/machinery shed. While the property is on town water, ample water and infrastructure for the garden are available from the dams. The cleared fields enable hay production.
Zoned rural conservation and in three titles allows the possibility for 1.5ha to be sold if desired. A potential building site on this allotment would take advantage of the magnificent view of Mount Macedon (subject to council approval).
Conveniently located just a short drive from all Woodend has to offer and under an hour to Melbourne CBD, Woodbine is an exceptional property of the Macedon Ranges.
