39 Christopher Crescent
Woodend, VIC 3442

Set on approximately 5 acres of established, park-like grounds, this substantial Woodend property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and flexibility. It features a large family residence alongside a fully self-contained cottage, ideal for multigenerational living or rental purposes.

The main residence is framed by a sweeping full-length verandah that overlooks expansive lawns, terraced gardens, and mature trees, which contribute to the property's distinctive character. Inside, a wide entrance hall leads to multiple living zones, including formal lounge and dining areas. These flow seamlessly into a generous open-plan kitchen, meals, and family space designed for everyday living.

Interiors are enhanced by decorative wall panelling and solid Blackbutt flooring upstairs. The kitchen is equipped with modern Bosch appliances, including an induction cooktop, and the property boasts well-appointed bathrooms throughout.

Upstairs, a light-filled living area opens onto a spectacular, large elevated balcony, providing a beautiful retreat for relaxation or entertaining, with views across the gardens and towards Mount Macedon. The home includes four well-proportioned bedrooms, featuring an oversized main suite with a walk-in robe, ensuite, and private balcony. Additionally, there is a study and a beautifully appointed central bathroom upstairs, plus an extra bathroom downstairs.

Heating and cooling have been thoughtfully integrated, with underfloor heating to tiled ground floor areas, wood-fired hydronic heating throughout, and reverse cycle air conditioning in the living area. Character features such as high ceilings and decorative detailing further enhance the home's appeal.

A fully detached one-bedroom cottage offers genuine flexibility for extended family, guest accommodation, or rental income. It has its own heating and cooling systems, providing a private and functional living space separate from the main residence.

The property is supported by extensive infrastructure, including solar power, a large garage with substantial storage capacity, multiple sheds suitable for workshop, storage, or rural use, and a semi-underground wine cellar.

The grounds have been developed over decades and feature a significant collection of mature trees, including 50-year-old oaks, linden trees, various species of pine, and a flowering Japanese crab apple, complemented by native eucalypts. Mature shade trees create multiple outdoor zones for entertaining and relaxation, including a spa positioned within a garden setting.

Two dams with pumps service a reticulated garden watering system. There is also substantial tank storage for the house, totaling 54,000 litres. A productive orchard includes stone fruits, berries, citrus, and a dedicated chook house, reinforcing the property's self-sufficient capability. Open rear paddocks provide space for animals such as alpacas, sheep, or a pony.

Privately positioned on sealed roads and just minutes from Woodend township, the property offers convenient access to cafés, schools, and transport, while maintaining a strong sense of rural seclusion.
