Mud brick magic

Tucked away in the hamlet of Carlsruhe stands this delightful mud brick cottage on 4153 sqm of land. Within easy distance of both Kyneton and Woodend this property is perfect for a weekend retreat, Airbnb or permanent living.

It’s so easy to relax into the rustic charm of the cottage with herringbone brick floor, feature beams in doorways and windows, cosy pot belly, wood fire and split system. The open plan layout of the living/dining and kitchen area offers flexible use of cottage plus the large lounge room that is flooded with natural light from all directions. Coloured glass panels in the front entrance, kitchen and bathroom give a warm glow that evokes a feeling of tranquillity. There is a traditional bathroom with vintage vanity and shower over bath. The views from both downstairs and upstairs take in the rural landscape, mature trees and native shrubs. The two upstairs bedrooms have ample storage under the eaves and floor to ceiling pitched windows that bring the outside in.

There is plenty of room for a pony or alpacas in the back paddock and the office/studio space at the rear of the double garage/workshop gives further options.

Previously a retreat owned by Jim Stynes and his family there is an Irish influence in the Gaelic stonework in the front garden.

Other features include a bore with potable water which is quite exceptional, solar panels, 2 new 23,650 litre water tanks, a fenced off area with fruit bearing trees, raised vegetable gardens and a large hen house.

This property offers a lifestyle to be envied.
