Overview

15 West Street, Trentham

BATTUNGA PARK ESTATE is a rare and exceptional country homestead offering privacy, acreage, and convenience, situated on approximately five acres just a short walk from the heart of Trentham. The name Battunga, meaning 'place of large trees,' aptly describes this lifestyle property, which is privately positioned behind a circular driveway and surrounded by established gardens and mature eucalyptus trees. This property provides a unique blend of space, serenity, and versatility while maintaining a strong connection to its natural surroundings.

Set in a peaceful bush environment with Stoney Creek forming the western boundary, the estate enjoys a tranquil natural backdrop where the sounds of kookaburras replace urban noise. Zoned as Low Density Residential and enveloped by green space, it offers a rare sense of retreat so close to town.

Constructed in the early 2000s, the substantial homestead-style residence encompasses approximately 30 squares under roof and combines weatherboard and bagged brick construction with traditional character features such as high ceilings, dado walls, slate flooring, deep cornicing, and natural brick fireplaces. Verandas wrap around all sides of the home, enhancing its charm and providing outdoor living spaces.

The home’s passive solar, north-facing orientation fills the interior with natural light and ensures year-round comfort. Practical features include a ducted vacuum cleaning system that adds convenience to everyday living. The heart of the residence is the expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, complemented by a second living space that seamlessly connects to the undercover alfresco area, ideal for entertaining and family gatherings.

The kitchen is well-appointed with granite benchtops, quality Smeg appliances, and a generous walk-in pantry designed to accommodate both daily family life and entertaining needs. The property includes four bedrooms, featuring a spacious master retreat with a walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite complete with a spa. Each room offers views of the garden or countryside, reinforcing the home’s strong connection to its natural setting.

Energy efficiency and comfort are key priorities, with double-glazed windows, solar installation, gas instant hot water, and a state-of-the-art solar-supported heat exchanger operating the underfloor heating system with zoned options. A distinctive double-sided open fireplace provides indoor and outdoor enjoyment, ensuring the home remains cool in summer and warm in winter.

Adding to the property’s appeal is a separate studio equipped with a kitchenette and reverse cycle heating and cooling. This versatile space offers exciting possibilities, including use as a home office, art studio, consulting room, second living area, or, subject to council approval, boutique accommodation or a granny flat for multigenerational living.

The five-acre parcel primarily consists of open pasture, fully fenced into paddocks and featuring a dam, livestock shed, and extensive shedding. Additional practical amenities include a large workshop, greenhouse, outbuildings, and a double carport, catering to tradespeople, hobby farmers, or those requiring ample storage and space.

Established gardens surround the home, including fruit trees and landscaped areas that enhance the north-facing outdoor living spaces. The property balances usable land with natural bush elements, creating a harmonious blend of openness and privacy.

Perfectly positioned, Battunga Park Estate offers the best of both worlds: country living with the convenience of town nearby. Melbourne is approximately one hour away, while Kyneton, Daylesford, and Woodend are all within a comfortable 15 to 20-minute drive.
