88 Jim Road $820,000-$880,000 Auction 11am, May 31 Agent Keatings Real Estate, 5427 2999 VicRoads 60 B6 This is indeed a pretty part of the world. Autumn dusts the top of nearby Mount Macedon with snow, settles an eerie mist over Hanging Rock and turns the vines to gold. Dryden's Run is a 40-hectare property (pasture and natural bushland) that offers the chance to cash in on the local tourism market. Adjacent to the Hanging Rock Winery, this large weatherboard bed-and-breakfast is already a popular weekend destination and can continue as such with its Tourism Establishment planning permit. But the place could just as easily work as a luxury home for those in need of country retreat. A multizoned design provides privacy for the four bedrooms, which each have their own en suite and deck. Leadlight doors featuring cockatoos, soaring ceilings and an open fireplace create a homey vibe, as do the stunning surrounds, brought closer by large glass windows.
