“Old Ravenswood” – seldom do we see a property offering so much natural beauty. Just minutes South of Bendigo in the Ravenswood Valley on the Granite Belt, this property is something very special.

History abounds – once part of the original Ravenswood Run, old red gums grace the seasonal creek running through this property, which has an old sheep wash dating from around 1845 – built from local stone.

Double gates and smart brick piers stand sentinel to the tree-lined winding driveway to the substantial two storey home nestled in a mature park-like setting. The property is well fenced and divided into four paddocks, plus a wonderful orchard with a wide selection of fruit trees.

SHEDDING includes a workshop area of 60 x 30 ft (18 x 9 m) with concrete floor, power, two roller and two sliding doors. Attached is a 20 x 20 ft (6 x 6 m) machinery/shearing shed, enclosed on three sides. There are also various garden/utility sheds, five rainwater tanks (124,000 litres total), a dam with reticulated water for farm, garden and orchard use and there is also a well set-up fire fighting system covering the home, barn and main shed.

The HOMESTEAD consists of an elegant brick veneer home with full length balcony across the front. Substantial living and entertaining spaces are to be enjoyed both upstairs and down. A spacious guest bedroom with two-way bathroom is on the ground floor, along with generous formal and informal living and dining areas, and a solid timber kitchen with breakfast bar, wall oven, hot-plates, rangehood and dishwasher.
Upstairs is the spacious master bedroom with parents retreat, full ensuite, and fitted walk-in robe, 2 further bedrooms with views, family bathroom, and a large versatile retreat/library/theatre which could also be used as a games room or additional bedrooms.

Enjoy the covered terrace, walled garden with BBQ area, a side garden leading down to the creek and the large covered entertainment area.

Comfort and savings are guaranteed with a 5.4 Kilowatt solar system, ducted heating and cooling, solid fuel heater and a ducted vacuum system.

BONUS – two storey self-contained BARN/STUDIO adjacent to the house would suit many purposes.

Inspections are strictly by appointment. Phone Rick on 0412 009 865 or Ingrid on 0425 760 460.
