If you would like to feel completely at one with nature and immerse yourself in beautiful peaceful views, then this bespoke three bedroom stone and mudbrick house, in an elevated setting, on almost 40 acres of native countryside, might be just ideal for you to come home to.
Absolutely a rural retreat, you approach on a nice country road and just before the bitumen ends, the driveway appears. It meanders upwards to reveal the home. While it is simply stunning and likely to make you draw breath, it also looks like it just belongs – and so it should, as this gorgeous stone house is constructed with truly appreciable craftsmanship, of stone sourced from the property itself.
If this is to your taste, then you had better prepare to be impressed, because you will fall in love with this one. A deep return verandah with bush poles provides entry to a spacious open plan area through one of three sets of French doors or a single glass panel door, all of which are crowned with magnificent reclaimed Redgum lintels, which complement perfectly the 400mm deep stone walls.
Different and varied rustic features adorn each and every room including dado boards, timber lined ceilings, bamboo floating floors, raw or painted mudbrick feature walls and internal feature stone walls which give you an opportunity to ponder the art and talent that goes into buildings such as this. Further to this the natural textures and tones are enhanced by the clean lines of today's contemporary fixtures and fittings.
Originally built as a stone house in the eighties, much love and consideration has gone into this home over the years. In the nineties it was extended to provide more bedrooms, and in keeping with the rustic theme, the extension was built from Harcourt mudbrick on a brick foundation so you can rest assured it is sound and solid. Whilst this home has undeniable charm and character in droves, it is also highly functional and very comfortable to live in.
The open plan kitchen, dining area has a gracious open fireplace with a beautiful iron insert, it has a unique gated firescreen over a high hearth. The kitchen is a pristine and inviting space to create delicious meals, with beadboard cabinetry and high quality stainless steel appliances under a composite stone benchtop and breakfast bar. A Lofra stove is accompanied by an Asko rangehood, but if you really want to go old school you are going to adore the Everhot solid fuel oven with a water jacket. In addition to all the drawer space in the kitchen, the butler's pantry provides not only extra storage, but a great hidden workspace as well.
The lounge adjoins the dining area and features French doors to the return verandah, a Colonial style window, reverse cycle split system air conditioner, a freestanding wood heater with ducted transitional heating to other parts of the home, and a half-height partition wall, making this a really nice place to relax.
As you head down the hall from the kitchen to the rumpus room you could be forgiven for missing the walk-in-cupboard, but this is such a good little space that it is currently even set up at one end as a secret study. The laundry has beautiful beadboard cabinetry too, within which is a concealed hamper, and it even has a pulley maid.
The rumpus room is a terrific transitional space between the different zones of the home. It is far enough away from the front of the house for both the kids and adults to enjoy themselves and their company, without imposing on each other, yet close enough to keep one eye on them if need be.
Three spacious bedrooms each have mirrored robes and ceiling fans, they are serviced by a rustic three piece bathroom with a brick paved floor, 1200mm shower with a rainfall shower head and a countertop basin on a beadboard vanity.
From the rumpus room a glass door opens onto a large undercover entertaining area. Former owners had plans to reimagine this space as an extension for a fourth bedroom with a walk-in-robe and bathroom, as well as a mudroom to connect to the laundry, but of course it will be entirely up to you to choose what you would like to do with this versatile space once you own this property.
Other noteworthy attributes include a 5kw solar system, a filtrations system for demineralization of all the house water, five tanks with approximately 100,000 litres of capacity, 3 good dams that hold water well and a disused bore. There is also plenty of dry wood on the property and some goat shelters as well.
The house yard has rabbit proof, or fox proof fencing. Ideal for pets and kids and the kids will love the elevated fort style cubby house. There is a terrific henhouse if you like fresh eggs, together with a veggie garden and small orchard for fresh fruit and veg.
There are definitely some who will be just looking forward to having this garage. It is 12 X 7m with a lit lean-to caravan port, it is semi-lined and partially insulated with two roller doors at the front, work benches, power points and LED lights, as well as a mezzanine floor.
Others will want to claim the small craft room nearby. It doesn't have power to it, but it's an excellent creative space ideal for use as an art studio, its somewhere for you to focus your inspiration from the surrounding views which range from the native wildlife and birdlife up close, to the distant views of the Sugarloaf Ranges sweeping across to Mount Ida and the Great Dividing Range. These magnificent views are afforded by the elevation. From here you can even see the glow of Melbourne's lights by night.
Though well and truly a country property, it's surprisingly convenient for shops and schools being just 10 minutes from ever popular Strathfieldsaye, 12 minutes from Axedale and 22 minutes to the heart of Bendigo's CBD. You are most welcome to contact the agent for further details.
