Bloomwood

Summary:

Discover Bloomwood (Mt Franklin) near Daylesford, a spacious and soulful 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom country escape set on 18 acres of tranquil Mount Franklin countryside, just minutes from Daylesford. Surrounded by rolling hills, sweeping paddocks and the gentle quiet of native bushland, this beautifully presented home invites you to unwind, recharge and settle into a slower, more soothing rhythm.



The Space:

Perched on a soft ridgeline, Bloomwood offers breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset. Every window frames a different postcard moment - mist drifting through the trees, golden paddocks stretching to the horizon, kangaroos gathering at first light, and the serene dam reflecting the colours of the sky. The surrounding gardens are lush and lovingly maintained, creating peaceful spaces to wander, read, or simply breathe.



Inside, the home unfolds across two warm and welcoming levels. The upstairs master suite is a private retreat of its own, while the remaining bedrooms offer space, comfort and a sense of calm ideal for families and groups, complete with smart TV's in every bedroom. With three well-appointed bathrooms, one with a large egg bath, morning routines are effortless and relaxed.



Two inviting living areas make it easy to gather together or enjoy quiet moments apart. In winter, the slow crackle of the wood fire in the dining room sets the perfect backdrop for group dinners in, while the large gas log fire in the huge living space will keep everyone cosy and warm in the cooler months. The country-style kitchen is well stocked and thoughtfully equipped, ideal for preparing meals to be shared around the dining table or outdoors under the wide country sky.



Step outside and you’ll find one of Bloomwood’s most cherished features - the outdoor jacuzzi. Some booking platforms may refer to this as a “spa,” but for clarity, it is an outdoor jacuzzi, offering the perfect warm, bubbling escape after a day exploring the region. Set against the backdrop of expansive gardens and natural landscapes, it’s a truly magical spot at sunset.



The gardens continue to delight with stone-lined terraces, fruit trees, veggie beds and pockets of shade and colour throughout the seasons. There’s also a generous outdoor entertaining area with a dining table - perfect for long lunches and relaxed evenings beneath the stars.



For longer stays, Bloomwood includes full laundry facilities, including a washing machine and dryer, making the home both comfortable and practical for families and groups.



Bloomwood is wonderfully family-friendly. To make travelling with little ones easier, the home includes a toddler booster seat, a high chair, and a box of toys ready to spark imaginative play while the grown-ups unwind, please bring your own portacot though.



Despite its privacy and serenity, Bloomwood is conveniently close to Daylesford’s cafés, restaurants, mineral springs and boutiques. It offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility - a country escape where comfort, nature and warm hospitality come together beautifully.



Here, days feel slower. Nights feel softer. And everything feels just a little more peaceful.
