Embraced by natural serenity and bordering the native reserve at the end of a quiet court, this contemporary family home celebrates the best of modernity and semi-rural ease, opening up across over a quarter-acre of land (1,080sqm approx) just minutes from town. Forming the perfect canvas for generous living, it's a place where weekends feel slower, birdlife is constant, and the sense of privacy and seclusion is absolute.
Merbau flooring and high ceilings form an idyllic welcome, extending to multiple living zones on two levels and a layout that delivers exceptional flexibility for families at all stages. Substantial open-plan living, dining, and entertainment areas take full advantage of the northern aspect to the rear, centred around the gourmet kitchen. Appointed with stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and direct access to the expansive rear deck and alfresco, it's the setting for outdoor dining, relaxed conversation and long summer afternoons.
A choice of main suites caters to changing needs, featuring an upper-level main bedroom that is elevated to capture views of the ranges and includes a walk-in robe and a dual-vanity ensuite. On the ground floor, a second main suite complete with built-in robes and its own ensuite—offers versatility as a guest retreat or home office. Three additional bedrooms and a central main bathroom complete the upper level, while downstairs also includes a large laundry and a full array of features to meet the demands of everyday living.
Throughout, tinted double glazed windows, solar panels, zoned ducted heating and cooling, and ceiling fans provide year-round efficiency, while a dedicated veggie garden, two sheds, a 30,000-litre water storage system, and irrigation support the established orchard of apple, pear, lemon, quince, lime, and nectarine trees outside.
Offering the rare breathing space most crave, yet delivering lifestyle ease just five minutes from Gisborne's shops and cafes, with prized proximity to local schools, a double remote garage, secure parking for a trailer or caravan, and a direct route to Melbourne's CBD in under an hour, this is a home that delivers in every way.
