448 Blackwood Road Macedon VIC 3440

Just five minutes from Macedon Village, this private 7 acre (approx.) retreat offers rare flexibility, character and space. With the main residence, a fully self contained cottage and extensive shedding, it is a property that adapts beautifully to family life, multigenerational living, working from home or hobby farming.

Originally built in the 1940s as the homestead of a much larger holding of approximately 200 acres, 448 Blackwood Road holds a special place in Macedon’s history. An uncommon subdivision for its time saw Watts Road run through the property, creating two distinct parcels and adding to the story of this tightly held land. Lovingly owned and cared for by the same family for over 40 years, it has been nurtured as a true sanctuary.

The main residence is warm, light filled and rich in original character. Three generous bedrooms are complemented by an updated central bathroom, while multiple living zones allow the home to function effortlessly for everyday life and entertaining. A formal lounge with open fireplace sits alongside a sunroom that opens directly to the outdoor entertaining area, and a flexible retreat provides additional space for relaxing or working from home.

Large picture windows frame leafy garden and bush outlooks, drawing natural light into the home throughout the day. Ornate cornices, detailed ceilings, art deco features and stained glass add colour and charm, while wood fire heating and split system heating and cooling ensure year round comfort.

The kitchen remains true to the home’s heritage and heart, featuring an original wood stove cooker, gas cooktop and electric oven, dishwasher, warm timber cabinetry and practical bench space. An adjoining meals area creates an easy and welcoming flow, ideal for both everyday living and gatherings with family and friends.

Privately positioned away from the main residence, the self contained cottage offers excellent flexibility. It includes one bedroom, a living area, kitchenette and bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, guests, creative use, working from home or additional accommodation.

Outdoor living is well established and thoughtfully designed. A covered entertaining area is surrounded by mature gardens, creating a peaceful setting for relaxed gatherings. The land itself is a beautiful mix of open grassed areas and established bushland, offering space for animals, gardens or hobby farming pursuits while maintaining privacy between dwellings.

Infrastructure on the property is extensive and well considered. A large garage and workshop is complemented by a double carport, a separate home office, multiple shedding and storage areas including wood storage, and dedicated spaces well suited to rural hobbies (bee-keeping). Water supply is supported by four tanks of approximately 22,500 litres each along with a pump house and 5kW solar.

This is a property with soul. Solid, honest and deeply connected to its surroundings, it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy and flexibility so close to Macedon Village. Whether you are seeking dual living, a peaceful country retreat or a lifestyle property with room to grow, this much loved holding is ready for its next chapter.

Inspection is highly recommended to truly appreciate the scale, character and serenity on offer.
