About this property

Sunset Retreat-amaxing views over Mt Franklin

Beautifully refreshed and thoughtfully restyled, Sunset Retreat is a magnificent country homestead offering peaceful surroundings and breathtaking rural views less than 15 minutes from Daylesford.

Designed for relaxation and connection, the home features a spacious open-plan living, dining and kitchen area where every window captures stunning countryside vistas. Guests can unwind beside the cosy wood fire, gather around the huge modular lounge, or enjoy movie nights on the oversized smart TV.

The home offers four comfortable bedrooms, including a king master suite with ensuite, a queen bedroom located off the lounge area, and two additional double bedrooms, making it ideal for families or groups of friends.

Adding to the experience, the double garage has been transformed into a fun games room for guests of all ages to enjoy. An optional sofa bed is also available in this space for an additional charge of $80 per stay.

Outside is where Sunset Retreat truly shines. Expansive outdoor spaces overlook a sparkling dam dotted with lily pads, with Mount Franklin creating a beautiful backdrop beyond. At the front of the property, rolling country landscapes and stunning sunsets complete the picture-perfect setting.

Dogs are welcome, however please note the property does not have a secure yard.

Perfectly positioned under 15 minutes from both Daylesford and Castlemaine, and located adjacent to Mafic Wines at Mount Franklin Estate, Sunset Retreat offers the ideal blend of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to the region’s renowned wineries, cafés and attractions.
