A sweeping rural property is capturing the attention of nostalgic Aussies with its humble interiors and sweet stone cottage that sits on the edge of a lake filled with water lilies. 

The charming picture-perfect estate is in Mandurang, about 1 hour and 45 minutes north of Melbourne

The five-acre property features the main home, a vineyard, gallery space, stunning gardens, orchards and the quaint cottage with a jetty overlooking the pond.

The cottage is a cosy retreat that is surrounded by deciduous trees that show their true beauty in autumn.

Inside is a small studio with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining space that opens out to a covered verandah.
