1964 Calder Highway, Taradale.

Set on 14 acres of gently grazing land with a treed perimeter and established paddocks, this character-filled clay mudbrick home offers a rare chance to secure a genuine slice of 1970s rural craftsmanship, just 2km from Elphinstone or Taradale and 4km to the Calder Freeway. Built with warmth and soul, the home welcomes you with a very large open-plan living area beneath a raked timber ceiling, tiled floors underfoot, and a wood fireplace to gather around on cool country evenings. Large windows draw the eye straight out into the treed garden, blurring the line between indoors and out and filling the space with light and greenery. The large timber kitchen is a genuine feature - practical and full of character, fitted with an electric cooker and wood stove, plus a handy storeroom/pantry for all your provisions. A separate laundry with cupboards and slate flooring adds everyday functionality, while the bathroom charms with a classic claw-foot bath and separate shower, plus a separate WC for convenience. The main bedroom is generously sized, enjoying a lovely garden outlook, a large walk-in robe, and - like the second bedroom - large windows that flood the space with natural light beneath timber ceilings throughout. Step outside onto verandahs on two sides, perfect for taking in the leafy gardens, old fruit trees, and stands of pine and gum. A large dam anchors the property, supporting the treed perimeter and grazing paddocks beyond - ideal for livestock, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the space and privacy on offer. With garbage collection and NBN connected, this property blends off-the-grid charm with everyday practicality. A rare opportunity to own a piece of mudbrick history with land, water, shelter and character - all within easy reach of the Calder Freeway.
