Perched on top of a hill on 33 acres (approx) this unique mud brick home overlooks endless bush land vistas onto the distant mountain peaks. This tranquil setting offers a lifestyle of privacy yet it is only 6 kilometres (approx) from the township of Warrandyte and is an easy commute to the Melbourne business district.
A 1 kilometre (approx) bitumen driveway leads to a professionally constructed, architect-designed mud brick home. Driving along the driveway you'll see three dams, a fishing shack, horse holding pens, shed/stable, kangaroos, kookaburras and a range of wild life.
Inside the house, the open-plan lounge-dining offers a marble fireplace, slate floors, cathedral ceilings and large French doors opening out to the verandah, leading to a huge deck with a rotunda that's set among shady gum trees. The country-style timber kitchen with stainless steel appliances and butler's pantry with built-in shelves, adjoins the family-meals area which also features a fireplace.
