154 Judds Road is a rare find. A unique, solidly built double brick home, with fully enclosed verandah, soaring cathedral ceilings, reclaimed exposed beams and doors, a swimming pool, shedding, garages and gardens; you don't often find homes like this on the market in this price bracket.

Set on 32 acres of mixed paddock and native bush, the property is just 5 minutes drive from Smythesdale, 15 minutes drive from Delacombe Town Center, and 30 minutes to Ballarat CBD and the train to Melbourne. There are primary schools in Scarsdale and Smythesdale, and the free Country Bus service will ensure your high school age children can get to and from school.

The property has two huge living areas. The first is 81 square meters in area, and has kitchen, living and dining areas. The kitchen has custom built solid wood cupboards, slate tile flooring, built in dishwasher and a Smeg stove with 6 gas burner stove top (LPG) and electric oven. There is a fan assisted wood burning stove that heats the room perfectly in the winter, and overhead fans to stay cool in summer.

The second living area is a 90 square meter area (15m x 6m) which could easily be converted into additional bedrooms for a larger family. It is also fully carpeted and has a wood burning stove for heating. From this area there is access to some carpeted attic storage space.

There are two large bedrooms (6m x 7m), each with two large custom made wooden wardrobes and a large ensuite bathroom. Hot water is provided via instantaneous gas boiler. The master bedroom has a 3m x 3m room attached, which is currently used as an office, but could by a nursery or additional bedroom. The third bedroom is also 3m x 3m and is accessed from the second bedroom or the enclosed verandah.

Outside, there are established, low maintenance gardens, with a combination of native and cottage garden plants. There is a deck to the rear of the house and paved pathways. Mature fruit trees (apple, pear, olive, plum) offer opportunities for growing your own food, and there is an underground cellar (converted water tank approximately 4mt diameter, 2.316 mt high) perfect for storing wine, preserves, and produce from the garden.

There is ample shedding for storage and workshop space with electricity for the handy person. The homes water is provided from a 55,000L water tank.
.
For entertaining, or staying fit, there is a fully fenced (council compliant), in ground lap pool (20m x 3 mt)with partial shade sails, cover, solar heating and filter.

To the rear of the property, next to the large dam, there is a 'secret garden' with paved paths and a 25 square meter dwelling. The dwelling has a paved floor and is roofed, but has open sides. The area has fallen into some disrepair, but with a bit of imagination would be perfect for an additional entertaining area, a wedding venue or off grid dwelling (subject to building permits).

The land with the property is a combination of paddock and bush areas. There is a fully fenced 10 acre paddock with dam, suitable for horses. There are also two stables currently used to store wood in a seperate paddock.

The entire property is a haven for native species, both flora and fauna. Kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, sugar gliders, possums, bats, feather tale gliders, and more. Every spring there are hundreds of wildflowers, with over 20 different species of native orchid. There isn't a wildflower overlay on the property, but we would love it if the property were bought by nature lovers. This project would make a wonderful wellness Center. (STCA) .
It has been a wonderful haven for our family for nearly 25 years, and it is now time to offer this wonderful space to a new family.
