Harmoniously blending an enchanting circa 1885 original cottage with the flair and function of a contemporary extension, and with significant infrastructure to support sustainability, this magnificent nine acre property offers compelling lifestyle appeal. Introduced by an elongated drive for absolute seclusion, yet close to thriving Balnarring Village, the property showcases superb, scented gardens blending exotic and native species, citrus and fruit trees with a vast, productive vegie patch and glasshouse.
North facing and beautifully designed for maximum enjoyment of its stunning surrounds, the thoughtfully appointed home features a custom 'chef's' kitchen with Butler's pantry and expansive living and dining with ducted wood fire, highlighted by walls of glass promoting the stunning outlook. A luxurious master retreat with en suite and walk in robe features in the main residence, with three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, a cosy living room and the 'orchard room', or fifth bedroom, offering a charming guest retreat with WC and vanity in the original cottage.
Enhancing its lifestyle appeal with a recently resurfaced tennis court, three pony paddocks, chook pens and an irrigated 50 tree orchard, which has been completely netted to maximize productivity, the comprehensive property also offers a separate studio/games room/home office, three bay garage and workshop, separate single garage plus workshop and six bay machinery shed. The 270,000 litre water capacity, 23 solar panels and solar hot water system keep running costs at a minimum.
Along the ridge to the north is a two acre stand of soaring native vegetation which is home to kangaroos, echidna and flocks of native birds.
In a hidden pocket where peace and privacy abound, yet within easy reach of Pen Link for a quick commute to Melbourne, this unique and spellbinding property in a fiercely held location simply commands attention.
