5 3 2

Situated just 18km Maldon, 37km Castlemaine and 160km Melbourne this notable central Victorian property also has excellent access to the Loddon River and 6km to the Baringhup / Lake Cairn Curran water playground. Originating in 1863 both residences have been been extensively renovated with all modern conveniences for a very comfortable living program. The main home features hydronic heating, polished baltic pine floorboards, new kitchen with Smeg electric cooking plus wood stove. It has 4 very large bedrooms, wide hallway with ornate arch, spacious central bathroom plus a second bathroom with garden views. Solid 400mm internal walls, wide skirting and architrave timbers, 13' ceilings, 3 sided surround 2m bullnose verandah, and open fireplaces in many of the rooms are some of the fabulous and original trademarks of this era. The original residence is a few metres away and is now a 2 roomed cottage which has been fully renovated and extended. It has been immaculately presented to include one bedroom with a huge fireplace and an adjoining 3 piece bathroom, kitchenette and living space. It also comes with an adjoining alfresco covered sitting area plus a double carport.
Also representing the 19th century is the stunning 19 x 9m approx. bluestone studio or the former "Rumbolds Cheese factory" , complete with massive buttresses, double and high entry doors on each of the long sides , wood heating, slate flagstone flooring, 5m lined ceiling, 2 rooms and reticulated power. This is a classic example of early stone masonry at its best. There is a more recent machinery shed plus a large raised workshop which was formerly the shearing shed with 2 level cellar, power, ramp entry and the typical Australian corrugate clad finish.
Importantly there is a S+D water supply from the Loddon River plus a house dam for the extensive lawns, fruit trees and garden beds. The 800m approx. driveway to the homestead from the bitumen access road crosses Boundary Creek and passes the fertile mix of volcanic and alluvial loams renowned in this area for its strong mixed farming enterprises. Currently the owners lease out the arable portion to a neighbour for cropping.
