Celebrating almost 60 years since its completion in 1966, this remarkable mid-century home stands as a beautifully preserved piece of architectural history, set within approximately three acres on the edge of historic Maldon.
Designed by architect Bill Mitchell and built for its current owners, the split-level residence sits effortlessly within its landscape. Constructed in Besser split-rock grey brick, the home blends naturally with the surrounding eucalypts and established rose and native gardens, while the elevated position captures breathtaking panoramic views across the Nuggetty Ranges through to Mount Tarrangower. The terrace offers the perfect vantage point to watch the sun set across the landscape each evening.
At the heart of the home lies a living and dining space that perfectly captures the spirit of mid-century design. Rich timber panelling, original wall sconces, built-in cabinetry and an open fireplace with solid Blackwood mantle create an extraordinary interior that feels both timeless and deeply atmospheric. It is a room that immediately captures attention and remains as striking today as when the home was first built.
Throughout the rest of the house, original details have been carefully maintained, including beautiful Tasmanian Oak flooring, timber-lined feature walls, high ceilings with timber architrave detailing and hand-cut Castlemaine slate flooring in the entry foyer. Multiple living and dining areas provide flexibility for both quiet relaxation and entertaining, while timber and glass sliding doors open to verandahs and alfresco spaces that connect seamlessly with the surrounding gardens and sweeping views.
The kitchen retains its classic character while offering generous storage and preparation space, with electric cooktop, wall oven and dishwasher. Three queen bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation, two with built-in robes and one with a walk-in robe. The main bedroom enjoys convenient two-way access to the bathroom, which includes bath and vanity, with a separate shower room and toilet.
Additional features include reverse-cycle heating and cooling, wood fire heating, a well-proportioned laundry with cabinetry and second toilet, garage and carport.
Beyond the home, the gently sloping acreage is fully fenced and cleared to pasture, dotted with mature eucalypts and supported by a dam with pump. The land is well suited to horses, alpacas or sheep, with riding and walking trails nearby, while the Maldon golf course sits directly alongside the property.
Just a short walk from Maldon's historic town centre with its cafés, shops, school and community amenities, this much-loved property is being offered for the first time in almost six decades. A rare opportunity to secure an authentic mid-century home in a remarkable setting.
