36 Reservoir Road, LauristonVIC

Fall in love with this elegant 140-year-old miners cottage dating back to Lauriston’s gold rush days. Sitting on 5741m2, lose yourself in the expansive, soul-nurturing outdoor space, with established gardens, ancient elm trees, stunning rose arbours, and lush lawns that flow past dry stone walls to the mighty Coliban River at the foot of the property.

As one of the town’s original miner’s cottage, it has been lovingly renovated and extended to retain its ambience.

‘Valentine Cottage’ boasts large front and rear bedrooms (both with ensuite bathroom and one with a classic claw foot bath,) a spacious living area with cosy gas log fire and split barn door, and a sitting room with gorgeous green views down to the river. The modern kitchen includes a Miele electric oven and hotplates, rustic exposed brick detail and a cleverly converted pantry housed in the original fireplace. An appealing combination of warm carpet for winter cosiness and gleaming hardwood polished floorboards brings extra comfort and style.

Adjoining the double garage, a large light-filled studio offers potential for an additional bedroom, office or conversion to a bed and breakfast.

Entertainers will adore the large cellar (located under the studio) to house the wine collection you’ll share with friends and family on the rear deck. Pick veggies from your own patch, fruit from the vines and orchard and if you’re keen you could even catch dinner from the river.

Just a few minutes to trendy Kyneton, and under an hour to Melbourne, this is a stunning setting with many original features throughout the home and in the garden. This is the home your heart has yearned for.
