Set high within the rolling hills of Metcalfe, this deeply private and energy-efficient retreat offers an exceptional lifestyle immersed in nature and defined by sweeping horizon views. Spanning approximately 21.9 acres (8.844ha), with an additional 7.36 acres (2.977ha) under grazing licence, the property captures breathtaking valley vistas and offers an extraordinary sense of peace and seclusion, perfectly suited as a permanent home or restorative weekender only minutes from town.
Thoughtfully designed for sustainable living, the property offers the opportunity to become largely self-sufficient in both power and water, supported by a high-quality and newly upgraded solar system with lithium batteries, back-up generator, wireless NBN and multiple rainwater storage tanks. The surrounding landscape of native bushland, winter creek and established gardens creates a harmonious environment where lifestyle and nature exist in complete balance.
The main residence is light-filled, airy and rich with personality, featuring two generous bedrooms and open plan living that connects effortlessly to its surroundings. Comfort is assured year-round with double glazing, roof and underfloor insulation, gas cooking, a new Coonara wood heater and split system heating and cooling, while expansive windows frame ever-changing outlooks across the rolling countryside.
A separate studio provides exceptional versatility, ideal as additional accommodation, creative workspace or private retreat. Outdoors, the fully enclosed kitchen garden encourages productive living, while established plantings of weeping wattle, rosemary and wisteria complement a series of outdoor entertaining areas designed to capture the magnificent scenery and provide quiet places for reflection.
Positioned within the tightly held farming hamlet of Metcalfe, the property is moments from the natural beauty of Turpins Falls and The Cascades, just 15 minutes from the renowned food and wine destination of Kyneton, close to Malmsbury village and within an easy hour of the Bolte Bridge via the Calder Freeway. This is a rare opportunity to secure a sustainable lifestyle sanctuary of remarkable beauty and complete privacy.
