MISTOVER - 2 WEST ST DAYLESFORD

Mistover has been 100 years in the making, starting life in the 1920s, evolving into a substantial country estate, and being lovingly cared-for and cherished through this time.

Set amidst 1.47 ha (3.63 acres approx.) of landscaped gardens featuring undulating greenery and incredible views, this private retreat offers an idyllic way of living midway between Daylesford and Hepburn Springs. It’s an easy walk to cafes, shops and galleries, and perfect for permanent or holiday living.

This period home blends seamlessly with the renovated excellence of the five-bedroom house, where living zones spill out to wraparound verandas with exceptional garden vistas.

Architect Clinton Krause’s vision gives Mistover the spaciousness that makes everyday living easy. The sitting room offers well-zoned serenity, the vast living/dining room has what it takes for big gatherings, and the deluxe farmhouse-inspired kitchen features a twin-oven Falcon range and generous bench and storage space. The main bedroom’s ensuite is brilliant for soaking in a claw-foot bath and looking out to the garden, there’s the option of a large home office/fifth bedroom, and a separate studio/retreat.

Carefully chosen features add a layer of quality and comfort. Winters are warm with hydronic heating and wood-burning fireplaces, and summers are so much cooler with split-system air conditioners, ceiling fans, and high timber-lined ceilings. Attention to detail is everywhere, with solid timber floors, mains and bore water, a double garage and two-car carport, workshop, woodshed, and automated irrigation.

The garden design by Ray Robinson offers a spectacular array of natives and English perennials, fruits and vegetables, and masses of bulbs and flowering plants that herald the arrival of spring. Established trees provide an excellent framework, with flowering gum, birch, maple, Manchurian pear, smokebush, dogwood and gingko just a sample of the inspired choices.

Pick your own berries when they’re bursting with goodness, harvest the fruits that fill the orchard, and grow your favourite gourmet plantings in the hedged produce garden. Or simply stroll the rolling lawns and be in awe of the countryside that surrounds this exclusive address.

Mistover is all this and more, ready for a new owner to embrace its beauty and excellent location.
