Steeped in history and beautifully renovated for contemporary living, “Grandview” is a captivating circa 1896 homestead offering an exceptional combination of period elegance, modern comfort and an idyllic rural lifestyle. Set across approximately 3.5 acres of picturesque countryside, the property enjoys sweeping views of more than 180 degrees, with the magnificent silhouette of Mount Buninyong providing an unforgettable backdrop.

The residence celebrates its rich heritage through soaring ceilings, magnificent decorative ceiling roses, stained glass windows, polished timber floors and charming fireplaces. Generously proportioned bedrooms, an abundance of natural light and beautiful rural outlooks further enhance the home's inviting atmosphere.

Thoughtfully renovated throughout, the home features a stunning farmhouse-inspired kitchen with quality Fisher & Paykel appliances, stone benchtops and a feature farmhouse sink. Two beautifully appointed bathrooms include a luxurious freestanding stone bath, while the fully updated laundry, electric ducted heating and cooling, and wood fireplaces provide everyday practicality and year-round comfort. 

The kitchen is a particular highlight, where the outlook towards Mount Buninyong makes even a morning coffee feel special. Adjoining dining and living spaces provide a welcoming setting for family life, while the separate lounge, complete with its beautiful fireplace, offers the perfect retreat on cooler evenings.

Outside, the lifestyle offering is equally impressive. An expansive covered entertaining area provides a wonderful setting for family celebrations and gatherings with friends, while the garden gazebo overlooks a picturesque pond and waterfall feature, creating a peaceful space to relax and appreciate the natural surrounds. Established gardens, open lawns and an abundance of birdlife add to the property's tranquil atmosphere, with space for chickens, other animals and a genuine country lifestyle.

Substantial outbuildings offering exceptional versatility include a triple-bay machinery shed featuring high clearance, concrete flooring and power and is complemented by a separate two-bay shed and an additional storage shed. 

Practical infrastructure includes town water, approximately 93,000 litres of tank water storage, mains power, bottled gas and an upgraded septic system, providing the convenience and versatility expected of a well-established lifestyle holding.

Privately positioned back from the road and elevated above the Yarrowee Creek, Grandview enjoys a wonderful sense of seclusion while remaining exceptionally convenient. The Napoleons General Store, Recreation Reserve and school bus stop are within walking distance, with the vibrant Buninyong township, Delacombe Town Centre and Sebastopol all within easy reach. Central Ballarat is approximately 15 minutes away, while Melbourne remains accessible for commuters.

From spectacular sunrises and sunsets across the surrounding farmland to evenings gathered around the fire, Grandview offers far more than a beautiful home. It is an opportunity to embrace the history, character and simple pleasures of country living, with the space and versatility to enjoy it for generations to come.
