A sweeping tree-lined drive leads past a fairy-lit maple to 'Woodlea', a Tudor residence of timeless appeal set across 20 idyllic acres in the heart of the Yarra Valley. Extensively renovated with modern country interiors, it pairs charm with family living, overlooking rolling pasture, a spring-fed lake and views towards Healesville and Mt Toolebewong. A prized north-easterly aspect brings all-day sunshine and glorious sunrises over the mountains, with ever-changing vineyard vistas.
Inside, a light, airy palette sits effortlessly alongside exposed brick, ornate fireplaces, cornices and picture windows framing the views. Pure wool carpet, hardwood floors and statement lighting preserve the home's warmth and character.
Five bedrooms, three living zones and flexible office options cater to family life. Formal living and dining gather around a gas log fire, while a sunken family room with Coonara, whitewashed brick and feature panelling offers a relaxed escape. At the centre, the renovated kitchen brings modern farmhouse style with noir cabinetry, gold hardware, a Chambord sink, island, Siemens StudioLine double ovens, induction cooking, integrated dishwasher and walk-in pantry, overlooking a sun-drenched breakfast nook.
Upstairs, the bedrooms enjoy privacy and outlooks, with the main suite offering an alcove, dressing room, dual custom walk-in robes, ensuite with diamond leadlight windows and a private sunrise balcony. A two-way office/retreat offers versatility, while the fully tiled family bathroom features a deep soaking bath, frameless rain shower, Geberit toilet and floating vanity.
Through a striking black barn door, a dedicated wing adds flexibility. A rumpus with timber-lined ceiling, party lighting, mezzanine and attic storage sits alongside its own entrance, a spacious office or fifth bedroom, mudroom, laundry and toilet. It's ideal for multigenerational living, teenagers, guests, a home business or creative pursuits.
The cleared, fenced, gently sloping land offers paddocks, stabling, shedding, an arena, excellent water security and semi-off-grid solar, ready for horses, livestock, a vineyard, orchard or hobby farm.
At the bottom of the property, the spring-fed lake is the heart of it all. Stocked with fish and complete with a jetty, rowboat, shelter and rustic cabin, it invites lakeside picnics, a line cast at dusk or a quiet book beside the water. A place for lasting family memories.
