4 AJAX ROAD, Daylesford VIC 3460

A rare and versatile Daylesford offering, this unique Art Deco–inspired retreat combines character, proven income potential, and thoughtful sustainable living. With flexible layouts and multiple accommodation options, it is ideally suited to multigenerational living, home-and-income buyers, or further development of short-stay accommodation (STCA). Set on approximately 2/3 of an acre, with the benefit of an additional 1-acre Crown Lease (subject to DEECA approval), the property features a charming two-bedroom Art Deco-style cottage, including a stylish primary suite. The main cottage is complemented by expansive covered verandahs, an outdoor shower, and a large jacuzzi—perfect for relaxing while overlooking the established, low-maintenance indigenous gardens and tranquil dam. Sustainability is a key highlight, with gas-boosted solar hot water, a 12.87kW solar array, and a substantial 30kWh battery system, helping to significantly reduce energy costs while supporting year-round comfort for both owners and guests. A productive food forest enhances the lifestyle appeal, with fruit trees, berries, herb gardens, vegetable beds, and a greenhouse—creating a true nature-lover’s sanctuary just minutes from Daylesford’s renowned cafés, spas, and attractions. Separate from the main residence is a luxury retro-industrial one-bedroom accommodation, fully furnished and beautifully styled, complete with its own jacuzzi. This space currently operates as a high-performing short-term rental, consistently achieving excellent guest reviews and generating an impressive average annual gross income of approximately $95,000. A second space provides further scope for additional accommodation or creative use (STCA). On the opposite side of the property, a substantial Colorbond shed—currently utilised as a workshop and games room—features its own driveway and parking. This is a truly unique opportunity to secure a lifestyle property with proven income, strong sustainability credentials, and future upside in one of Victoria’s most sought-after tourist destinations.
