Discover a truly special lifestyle opportunity where timeless design meets modern sustainability in this Alistair Knox-inspired mudbrick residence, nestled on 21.9 acres (approx.) of gently rolling countryside just outside the historic township of Maldon.
The two-year-old kitchen has been designed with both form and function in mind and features stone benchtops, soft-close drawers, ample storage, a semi-integrated ASKO dishwasher, and a 900mm 6-burner gas cooktop with an electric oven. Polished concrete flooring adds a sleek, durable finish that complements the surrounding open-plan living and dining spaces. Multiple living zones include a Coonara wood heater-warmed family room and a second lounge with a potbelly stove. Ceiling fans throughout help support passive heating and cooling - ideal for energy-efficient living.
Lovingly modernised, the home offers five bedrooms, including a large study/home office with tranquil pool views. The main suite features a walk-in robe and private ensuite, while the remaining three bedrooms each come with built-in robes and enjoy beautiful natural light and wool carpet underfoot. Both bathrooms offer stone vanities, with the main bathroom featuring a freestanding sculpted bath, a rain shower, and a skylight that adds a natural spa-like ambience.
Rich in character and natural texture, the home is finished with redgum parquetry, slate, and red brick floors, while recycled Victorian ash timber-lined raked ceilings enhance the sense of space and warmth. The interiors are kept comfortable year-round thanks to double-glazed Stegbar western red cedar windows and doors with aluminium trims, complemented by clearstory windows with electronic blinds and a mix of fixed, casement, and awning windows for optimum light and airflow.
Step outside to your private retreat, featuring a solar-heated magnesium/salt in-ground pool surrounded by travertine paving, a timber entertaining deck, and a pool shed. A crazy-paved wrap-around verandah links to beautifully landscaped gardens, an orchard, play spaces, plus a mini sports court area.
Sustainability and functionality are top priorities, with features including:
- 80,000L rainwater tank capacity
- Two dams
- Worm farm septic system with black/grey water filtration and sub-soil irrigation
- Automated garden watering system, WiFi-ready
- Large machinery shed with 3-phase power
