The Junction

Pretty as a picture is this beautifully presented two bedroom cottage in a unique garden setting built on the site of the original 1860s Spurlings Butcher shop. It features a small heritage apple orchard each tree with name tags and fruit descriptors. Drystone walled gardens and parterre are planted to perennials, climbing and David Austin roses all benefitting from a borrowed landscape of natural eucalypts on the grassy banks of Fryers Creek. <br/><br/>The property sits at the junction of Fryers Creek and the Loddon River in the highly desirable historic hamlet of Vaughan. This perfect country retreat is ready to move into and enjoy featuring two bedrooms, central bathroom, cosy living room with open fire place and reverse cycle unit, leading to sunny kitchen/dining area with picture windows to the north and east capturing vistas of the established gardens. The kitchen offers the country charm of a woodfire stove, plus modern comforts of gas cooking and dishwasher. Other features include a wraparound verandah local stone paving and a vine covered pergola.<br/><br/>The property sits on 872sqm approximately comprising two titles that adjoin crown land creating a sense of space and privacy. The property is serviced by mains power, 2000 gallon galvanised rainwater tanks and includes access to a water licence to the Loddon River plus access to a bore shared with the neighbour. There is a 3500 gallon plastic tank with a pressurised drip irrigation system installed for the orchard and garden. A workshed/double carport and carparking are located at the rear of the property.<br/><br/>Close to Vaughan Springs Reserve The Junction is 14 kms from Castlemaine, 34 kms from Daylesford and only 4 kms from the Guildford Family Hotel and General Store.
