Miners Rest 68 Ross Road

Not only does this home have an operating waterfall and miniature lake, it has fabulous shedding. Located in a quiet no-through road approx 7km's from the Stockland shopping centre and a short distance to both Miners Rest and the Dowling Forest racecourse this property is presented as a peaceful lifestyle property. Comprising 8.86 acres or 3.58 hectares of land, including: a comfortable home, horse facilities, well equipped shedding and a secluded location, what more could you ask for.

The brick veneer home includes a master suite with ensuite and BIR, 2 further bedrooms with BIR's, formal lounge, family/kitchen and dining area and a huge 2 way laundry. The custom made country style kitchen has a functional walk in pantry and a fresh clean look that opens onto a generous family area creating the hub of the home. Boasting all electric cooking, zoned central heating and cooling system and a combustion wood heater ensures all year round comfort.

A double garage is directly accessible into the home and a spacious undercover alfresco area completes this neat property. Established lawns and gardens surround the home and are irrigated from a bore ensuring your lawn and garden can be lush all year round. The bore also automatically tops the miniature lake which covers an unusual feature, the bunker. The previous owners went all out, engineering a fabulous safe haven for the end of the world. Complete with a dehumidifier and escape hatch, it needs to be seen to understand the work that has gone into this structure. Covered by an ornamental waterfall, this compound is currently used as a storage room for all the homemade jams and sauces the current owner has produced from the massive vegetable garden (including greenhouse) and orchid adjacent the home. With a little imagination you could turn it into a B&B with a difference, who knows?

Not to be outdone by the bunker, the workshops complete with power, water, air-conditioning, heating has an attached split level accommodation, that could be transformed into a gymnasium or just be an extra room for those additional guests. There is a huge 12 x 7m machinery shed offering all the space required for all your toys and equipment. Fantastic equine facilities including stable tack room and horse float storage complete the shedding.

Whether you are looking for a quiet lifestyle property just minutes from Ballarat, equine facilities, a place to watch the profusion of birdlife that nests around this property, or hide in the bunker, this is a property that requires your inspection for full appreciation.
