Jellis Craig. Designed by award-winning architect John Pizzey and filled with his signature design features of soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed timber beams, floor-to-ceiling glass, and re-imagined materials, including repurposed red brick flooring. This artisan built, mud-brick beauty, is set to deliver an alluring lifestyle experience.
Wrapped in a full-length veranda and perfectly positioned to take in a rural outlook that stretches out to the distant ranges, the main house offers an impressive array of carefully laid out living, dining, entertainment and accommodation options.
Miele and Neff appliances and a large butler's pantry provide a sanctuary for the chef in a ground-floor kitchen that anchors a spacious living-meals, which is complemented by a formal lounge stretching through to a generously proportioned dining area. Sitting above these impressive spaces is a mezzanine level introducing a library or home-office/zoom room for those looking to work from home.
Finished with a luxurious ensuite and a walk-in robe, the main suite shares the ground level with a second bedroom adjacent to an inviting family bathroom. A refined sitting room provides access to the second level. Offering two bedrooms sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom, and a kitchen integrated within a living area, it’s effectively a self-contained apartment which would suit a large family, multi-generational living or long or short term income!
The separate studio/barn offers a vast, open, ground-floor set behind barn doors, complemented by a spacious living area that opens to a balcony and accesses a generously proportioned bedroom. Enhanced by rafter wood ceilings, featuring a kitchenette and a full bathroom and including a versatile storeroom or a wine cellar (depending on your needs), it is a perfect option for teens, an alternate work-from-home space, or could provide an attractive short-term rental income stream!
Along with a sparkling pool and a tennis court, desired extras include all the advantages of a 62-panel solar array, split systems, ceiling fans, open fireplace, private cellar, garaging for three cars, workshop, chicken coop, water tanks and dams and an extensive vineyard.
Home to abundant rare birdlife and native fauna this relaxed serene sanctuary is just a few minutes from St Andrews and its primary school, hotel, general store and iconic market, Hurstbridge, Diamond Creek and Eltham are all readily accessible. Blink and the sky will be rainbowing over your very own pot of gold.
