The aptly named Sunnyside homestead has been in the same family since it was built in 1939. Set on rich valley soil, this lifestyle property stretches to the Muckleford Creek, with its banks lined by old river gums.
Sunnyside is situated in the centre of the triangle formed by the three historic towns of Castlemaine, Maldon and Newstead. The fertile land offers any number of options for horses or farm animals, and the solid brick home, full of character, offers the perfect location to raise a family or retreat from the city.
The classic Australian country home has wide return verandahs, four bedrooms, ornate ceilings, a central hallway with period plate racks, formal lounge room with fireplace, and a walk-in pantry with small cellar installed during World War II. An open-plan modern kitchen and family room with reverse-cycle air conditioner has views to the back of the property down to the Muckleford Creek.
The back verandah steps down to a large paved area ideal for BBQs and children's play area. Beside it is a large fully powered workshop with concrete floors and garaging for multiple cars. The original grounds include a driveway to the 10,000-bale hayshed and the five grazing paddocks. Water is supplied from the 67,500 litres of tank water and a dam.
A simple one-bedroom brick cottage with sitting room, kitchen and bathroom sits away from the main house â?? perfect as a rental or weekender for friends and family.
Just five minutes from Castlemaine and 90 minutes from the Melbourne CBD on a quiet sealed road with school bus pick-up, this could be the perfect rural property to call home.
