Set on a generous allotment of approximately 2022m² and bordered by terraced gardens, this peaceful bush haven offers a rare opportunity to embrace a slower, more sustainable lifestyle just over an hour from Melbourne. Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Wombat State Forest, with serene vistas front and back, this charming Colourbond and timber residence is an idyllic retreat for weekenders or those dreaming of a tree change.
The home is perfectly positioned with an East-West orientation, allowing for sun-drenched mornings on the expansive front deck - a tranquil spot to enjoy your morning coffee while soaking in the forest views. Inside, cathedral-style, pine-lined ceilings and warm timber accents create a welcoming country atmosphere.
Comprising two comfortable bedrooms with built-in robes and plush carpet underfoot, plus a spacious home office with built-in bookshelves and excellent storage, the functional floorplan caters to those seeking a weekender, tree change move or downsize opportunity.
The heart of the home is a charming country-style kitchen with laminate benchtops, an induction cooktop, electric oven, and dishwasher - all flowing effortlessly into the open-plan living and dining area. A sunroom at the rear offers relaxed additional seating or a creative workspace bathed in natural light. The central bathroom is generously sized with a large shower recess, vanity and toilet, while the functional laundry provides easy outdoor access to a fold-down clothesline.
Sustainability and comfort are front of mind here, with high-quality double-glazed windows throughout, full insulation, three split-system air conditioners, a Coonara wood burning heater, and a heat pump HWS. The home is powered by a solar system with Tesla battery, adding a substantial bonus for energy-conscious buyers. Additional features include a septic treatment system, mains water and dripper irrigation system, and ADSL internet access.
The property includes an original bungalow which could serve as additional accommodation, cute vintage caravan, new colourbond shed / studio and large workshop and wood store.
The garden is a peaceful delight: an espaliered cherry tree, blueberries, tree ferns below the deck, together with views of the beautiful, surrounding native canopy. It's a private, leafy sanctuary where nature and lifestyle combine.
With the forest as your backdrop and bird song as your soundtrack, this is your chance to escape the urban grind and discover the magic of Barry's Reef - where clean air, quiet nights, and natural beauty await.
