Description: Set across approximately 28 acres with no direct boundary neighbours, this well-established rural property offers a rare combination of privacy, practical improvements and everyday convenience. Walmer sits between beautiful historic Maldon and the bustling regional centre of Castlemaine, while Bendigo and Melbourne remain easily accessible via the Calder. Positioned high on a ridge and approached by a long, winding driveway, the well-maintained 1990s cedar home enjoys broad outlooks and genuine seclusion. A wrap-around verandah and covered entertaining deck with patio blinds and mature wisteria provide sheltered outdoor living throughout the seasons. Inside, the home is designed for comfortable and functional living. The spacious kitchen includes extensive cabinetry, generous preparation space and updated stainless-steel appliances, flowing directly to the open plan living and dining area where a fireplace with large wood-heater insert provides dependable winter warmth. A separate office or optional fourth bedroom opens to the deck via French doors, offering flexibility for remote work or guest accommodation. Accommodation comprises a generous main bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite, along with two further bedrooms with built-in robes serviced by the central bathroom and laundry. Year-round comfort and security are supported by ceiling fans throughout, six split-system heating and cooling units and security mesh doors. The property is exceptionally well equipped for rural living. A drive-through two-car carport is attached to the home, while nearby shedding includes a substantial six-car garage or workshop with concrete floor, insulation, power and roller-door access, an additional four-car garage or workshop, and a large, powered barn-style shed. Energy efficiency is supported by an 8kW solar system with 27 panels, and household water storage totals approximately 52,500 litres across two tanks. Water reliability is further strengthened by additional irrigation tanks, two large dams and two fenced grazing paddocks complete with horse shelters. The fully fenced house yard features kangaroo-proof fencing established parkland plantings and productive fruit trees including cherry, apricot and plum. Privately positioned away from the main residence, a self-contained one-bedroom guest cottage provides valuable secondary accommodation with verandah entry, sitting room, bathroom, split-system heating and cooling, storage, heritage wall detail and its own 2,000-litre water tank. The space is well suited to extended family, guests or potential short stay use subject to council approval. Combining elevation, privacy, dependable water supply and extensive shedding in a tightly held rural district, this is a genuine tree-change opportunity offering both lifestyle appeal and practical capability.
