39 Stanbridge Street Daylesford VIC 3460

Set in one of Daylesford’s most loved pockets on Wombat Hill, Leapfrog Cottage is a warm and deeply liveable home designed around light, gardens and connection to place.

Built in 1995 by one of Daylesford’s respected local builders, the home was thoughtfully designed ahead of its time, embracing passive solar principles, natural materials and a strong relationship between indoors and out. Recycled timbers, Jarrah windows and doors, and light-filled living spaces create a home that feels calm, grounded and enduring.

Just moments from cafés, schools, the Sunday Market, Botanic Gardens and the walking tracks of Cornish Hill, the location offers both convenience and the slower rhythm that makes Daylesford so sought after.

Set on approximately 818m² of rich volcanic soil, the gardens have been lovingly cultivated over many years. Fruit trees, vegetables, vines, edible plantings and a chook house create a productive and beautiful environment that changes gently with the seasons.

Inside, the flexible floorplan offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and multiple living spaces suited to family life, creative work or quiet retreat. The accessible ground-floor layout, generous family bathroom, walk-in shower and large bath add practicality across all stages of life.

Large windows and thoughtful orientation invite northern and western light throughout the day, while easy indoor–outdoor flow connects the living spaces to established gardens, brick pathways and outdoor entertaining areas.

A vine-covered pergola sets the scene for long lunches and summer evenings, while the firepit and BBQ area create a natural gathering place under Daylesford skies.

Beautifully comfortable as it is, Leapfrog Cottage also offers exciting long-term potential for future enhancement. The generous block and flexible layout provide scope for further landscaping, a studio, granny flat or extension (STCA), while the home’s original eco-conscious design creates an excellent foundation for future sustainable upgrades over time.

This is not a polished developer renovation, but something increasingly rare — an authentic, thoughtfully designed home with warmth, integrity and genuine connection to its setting.

Whether you are seeking a permanent family home, a tree-change lifestyle, a creative retreat or an investment in one of Daylesford’s most desirable locations, Leapfrog Cottage offers comfort, character and opportunity in equal measure.
