Idyllic Hideaway with Excellent Options

Fortuna Cottage has the perfect blend of 1880s character and contemporary excellence in a prized location, 250 metres from Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens and minutes from cafes, shops, galleries, and wellness destinations. <br/><br/>What was once a miner’s cottage is now a well-designed private hideaway on 1,020 sqm (approx.) of landscaped land. The flexible floorplan is ideal for making this your permanent residence, weekender, or offering self-contained short-stay accommodation at the front of the house. Enjoy coming home to three bedrooms and a well-appointed home office, a zoned lounge with outdoor access and a wood-burning fireplace, a family room that opens onto an elevated deck, and a spacious kitchen with a 90-centimetre oven and gas cooktop. Both bathrooms are renovated, and great care has gone into transforming this into a relaxing retreat. There’s hydronic heating, solar power, high ceilings, the bonus of a mudroom, outdoor storage, and a large garage with space for a workshop. <br/><br/>The established garden enhances this fine home, with mass plantings of lavender, decades-old trees, lawned areas and vegetable beds. Imagine the lifestyle you can have here, dining outdoors on the paved terrace or deck, spending time with family and friends exploring all that the region has to offer, and having the option of an income stream hosting guests.<br/><br/>
