44 Bridgewater-Maldon Road Maldon VIC 3463

Welcome to "Thalgarrah", a property that embodies timeless elegance and refined country living. Set on approximately 11.4 acres of rolling landscape, this magnificent property offers an opportunity to own a stylish home, additional cottages and extensive infrastructure all set within magnificently landscaped and curated gardens surrounded by rolling Australian eucalypt bushland. Only moments from the historic township of Maldon yet a world away in privacy and serenity.

A Setting of Rare Beauty

The estate unfolds across park-like grounds framed by majestic River Red Gums, granite boulders, and sweeping lawns. At its heart lies a series of stunning landscaped gardens, where clipped hedges, perennial borders, ornamental roses, native plantings, and stone walling create a tapestry of colour and texture and a haven for birdlife. Meandering stone paths lead to tranquil water features, including a cascading stream that flows into a large pond alive with birdlife. An in-ground swimming pool, surrounded by a sun-drenched terrace and pergola with ornamental grapevine providing shade, offers a luxurious space for outdoor entertaining.

Elegant Country-Style Living

Step inside to discover a home that celebrates craftsmanship and light. High cathedral ceilings with painted timber cladding and beams soar above the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen, while lead-light lattice windows, a signature feature throughout, frame garden vistas at every turn. A grand open fireplace anchors the living space, creating warmth and character.

The contemporary north-facing country kitchen is a statement in style, featuring sleek black tapware, an integrated Miele dishwasher, Miele induction cooktop and an under-mount oven. The 4m stone and timber benchtop provides the ideal setting for socialising and casual dining, while the generous walk-in pantry accommodates appliances and storage. Angled light wells flood the space with natural light, enhancing its sense of openness.

A second living area/entertainment room has a soaring arched ceiling, built-in cupboards and a Lopi wood heater. French doors open to an east-facing private courtyard, a space perfect for your morning coffee or quiet reflection.

Accommodation

The main house offers three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each designed to capture uninterrupted views of the gardens. Two bedrooms feature walk-in robes, while the spacious main includes built-in robes, a private ensuite, and direct access to the outdoors, a serene retreat for relaxation. The central bathroom is a statement of elegance, complete with a clawfoot bath, shower, vanity, and an angled skylight that bathes the space in natural light. In addition to the two fires, comfort is assured year-round with reverse-cycle ducted heating and cooling, complemented by solar hot water and ceiling fans.
