Over a century ago, this dear old place was one of the original farm houses in the area. The trees are old and grand and the garden has maze-like shady walks and magical garden 'rooms'.
The home has now been fully renovated by the architect owner and his wife, and the exquisite garden has been maintained, with a food bowl back garden with raised, self-wicking garden beds for herbs and veggies, and a range of fruiting trees including, various citrus, olive, almond, mulberry, fig, avocado and prunus.
Indoors is light and serene with views of the sea, and all the way to Wilson's Prom on a clear day. The front 3 rooms and generous verandas are original, except for a new WIR and ensuite in the master bedroom. The ceilings are 3.3m high, cooled in summer by ceiling fans. The open plan rear of the house has exposed beams and a high raking ceiling, also with ceiling fans, plus 3 powerful split systems, made economical by the enormous solar/battery system.
The studio, lounge and dining all have exquisite views the garden, the sea and Gippsland's finest green rolling hills. The studio is huge and full of gentle southern light.
The lounge and dining areas are filled with eastern and southern light and feel embedded in the kitchen garden beyond the vast new deck. The house has a cook's kitchen with top range Smeg, Miele and Schweigen appliances, stainless steel benches and a beautiful open pantry.
The bathroom/laundry has one of the loveliest of views. There is also a mud room/utility entrance off the kitchen.
Outdoors is a tucked away clothes line, 2 water tanks, a potting shed and a huge fox proof chook shed. There are various livestock sheds, as well as a 4 bay garage and tool shed.
The 2.5 acre block is divided by a fence, beyond which the garden continues with a lily topped dam, gum trees, koalas and a delightful herd of cheeky mini goats, cuddly sheep and an alpaca to keep the grass down in their paddock and they nibble the lawns around the house and under the trees when let out.
The house, located toward the rear of the blocks, is barely seen from the creating a very private and peaceful sanctuary with abundant birdlife.
