A successful fusion of complete privacy, panoramic views and energy efficient, passive building design has delivered a compelling sanctuary, elevated above the landscape on 16.44 ha (approx.). This private retreat presents a lifestyle that is as rare as it is remarkable, where luxury, liveability and energy performance converge in perfect harmony. Gorgeous picture windows frame idyllic outlooks and welcome natural light into a warm and inviting interior where vaulted ceilings and spotted gum hardwood floors create space.
The open plan living room is surrounded by a timber deck and verandah taking in views across the surrounds to Mount Alexander on the horizon. Multiple outdoor living zones offer places to entertain, relax and watch the changing light across the undulating landscape. A wood fired pizza oven is a family favourite, and a productive garden includes irrigated vegetable and berry gardens and an orchard. Everyday family versatility is provided by the spacious floorplan.
On the upper level, two bedrooms with walk in robes share the family bathroom, and a ground floor main bedroom suite with a study nook and ensuite is accompanied by two additional bedrooms. The fifth bedroom could easily serve as a convenient office, complemented by excellent internet access with Ethernet cable ports to every room, presenting first-rate working from home options. The kitchen is superbly appointed with high end appliances and an extensive walk in pantry with floor to ceiling built in storage.
A longlist of features includes highlights such as integrated speakers in the living room, a wood heater, a laundry/mud room and powder room, plus a comprehensive suite of outside infrastructure including a firewood shed, potting shed, machinery shed, main shed, chicken coop and run, two very large water tanks and four dams. The property is currently split into four fenced paddocks, providing ample scope for hobbyists or equestrians.
Outstanding energy performance and liveability underpin every element of the architectural design. Built to exacting standards achieving an impressive 8.4 star energy rating, year round thermal comfort, excellent indoor air quality and dramatically reduced running costs are a few of the features on offer. A thermal envelope, high performance double glazing and efficient insulation maintain comfort throughout the summer heat and winter chills. Fresh, filtered air flows throughout, via an energy recovery ventilation system, creating a ventilated home free from external noise.
Just over an hour from Melbourne, within easy reach of Woodend, Kyneton and Daylesford, this is an accessible location with all the tranquillity of a rural retreat. Kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, wombats and a prolific bird population add to the serene setting, completing a truly unique opportunity for the next custodians of the property.
