The Welcome Paddock

The rich heritage of the surrounding area provided the backdrop and inspiration for this 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom homestead which delivers light and space in equal measure.
Occupying an elevated position overlooking the trout-filled dam, the circular, pencil pine-lined driveway creates a sense of arrival to the aptly named “Welcome Paddock” encompassing 20 acres on 2 titles.
Drawing on the vernacular influences of the Australian farm shed, this is a home that resonates with the immediate environment with a focus on scale, proportion and the typical craftsmanship of Spa Country Builders, where rustic meets refined.
Thoughtfully designed so that the bedrooms are separate from the living areas, the interior conveys a sense of warmth through the use of natural materials and an earthy colour palette: rosegum hardwood floors cosily align with the hyperpolished concrete floors in the high traffic areas, there is new carpet in every bedroom and the home has been freshly repainted inside and out.
With a pleasing vista from every room and abundant storage throughout, the home acts like 2 pavillions linked by an informal living area and entry vestibule overlooking the landscaped garden and lawn with maturing European trees and granite columns.

The list of ancillary improvements is extensive:
• Garage and workroom with automatic roller doors and power and water connected
• Guesthouse which would make an ideal B&B
• 3 x 22,500 litre water tanks fed by 500sqm of roof area
• Plunge pool positioned in an original settler’s stone cellar
• Double storey cubby house and shaded sandpit
• Secure chook pen and separate dog enclosure
• 2 dams and seasonal creek running through the property
• Fenced and raised vegetable garden
• High flow dam pump and German made Grundfoss pump for the home
• Nectre wood heater, split system aircon/heating and ceiling fans for year round comfort
• Zoned sound system for inside and outdoor entertaining

The surrounding area provides a buffer to adjacent properties with the Wombat State Forest and reminders of 19th century mining activity on the eastern and western boundary and a scenic 40 minute walking circuit nearby. Quietly secluded, but far from isolated, Welcome Paddock is an easy 7 minute drive to Daylesford and Mount Franklin in either direction, with the Castlemaine train to Melbourne approximately 20 minutes away.
