Jellis Craig. Architect-designed across three levels, this striking contemporary residence is set on approximately 20 acres in Cottles Bridge, delivering luxury, privacy and resort-style lifestyle in one of Nillumbik's most peaceful rural pockets.
Designed by a local architect and craftsman-built in 2015, the home presents as a bold architectural wedge emerging from the landscape, its three-level form working in harmony with the surrounding bushland. Inside, an open-plan layout is built for entertaining at scale, anchored by a deluxe kitchen finished with polished concrete benchtops and premium appliances. Expansive living and dining areas flow seamlessly through to a choice of outdoor entertaining spaces, framing the rural outlook and creating an effortless setting for long lunches, evening gatherings and weekends with family and friends.
Four generous bedrooms include a refined main suite, complemented by two well-appointed bathrooms, a fitted laundry and a dedicated study. A separate purpose-built studio offers genuine versatility as a music room, home office or business base, supported by Telstra Satellite NBN.
The lifestyle offering is where the property steps beyond a typical acreage home. A sound-insulated theatre room with surround sound delivers a true cinema experience, while a spa, six-person electric sauna and outdoor shower create a resort-style wellness retreat. A fully equipped gym features an internal rock-climbing wall with adjustable holds, and outdoor recreation extends to a custom four-foot skate ramp and an Olympic-size trampoline.
The landholding is equally well equipped, with an 80,000L main water tank, 10,000L fire tank and a substantial 7.5m x 12m garage/shed with two remote-controlled roller doors for secure parking, storage and workshop use. A solar system, CCTV security and intercom round out the property's balance of rural independence and modern peace of mind.
Surrounded by nature yet within easy reach of Hurstbridge Village, Diamond Creek, St Andrews township and Doreen shops, with a range of schooling options nearby. A rare offering of architectural design, private acreage and genuine resort-style living, within reach of Melbourne's north-eastern townships.
