Atop half an acre on a quiet no-through road, this remarkable residence is a statement of bespoke design, set within verdant bushland and overlooking elevated valley vistas. Designed by Underwood & Underwood Architects, the double clinker brick home celebrates natural light, generous scale, and a strong connection to the landscape, offering a distinctive expression of bush modern living with enviable room to grow.
Across two thoughtfully planned levels, the home reveals exceptional flexibility. Multiple living zones are complemented by five bedrooms and three bathrooms, while self-contained accommodation downstairs is ideal for multigenerational living, Airbnb hosting or a home business. A converted garage rumpus, second kitchen and second laundry enable true dual living.
Upstairs, alongside a spacious kitchen with a walk-in pantry and a study with an inspiring outlook, the main living areas open onto a spectacular covered entertaining courtyard, where exposed timber beams and expansive skylights create an indoor–outdoor experience rarely found today.
Lofty timber-lined ceilings enhance the sense of space, with striking pendant lighting adding a sculptural focal point. Original slate floors sit alongside new polished concrete floors and plush carpet, layering rich character with contemporary comfort, while hydronic heating and a feature open fireplace provide incredible warmth in winter.
Practical features include solar power, extensive storage including a large lockable under-house area, and substantial accommodation for cars, boats, caravans and trailers with an easy turning circle. The grounds extend the sense of space, with established fruit trees and a natural setting to enjoy.
Mornings begin with hot air balloons drifting across the valley sky, while a local shortcut leads directly into the heart of Healesville, with schools and buses within easy walking distance. More than an architectural home, this is a rare blend of design, flexibility and a truly special way of life.
