A private world of evergreen serenity awaits in Porcupine Ridge, where two quality residences are surrounded by 1.62 hectares (4 acres approx.) of rolling countryside. This is a rural hideaway crafted with care, where reclaimed timbers, stone and mud-brick construction are used to great effect and the landscaped garden beckons you to relax outdoors.
Perfect as a permanent home or getaway retreat just 10 minutes from Daylesford, the main four-bedroom house impresses from the moment you arrive and see the wonderful views, well-maintained grounds and timeless design. The light-filled interior features living zones and bedrooms on each level, a three-oven Belling range in the timber kitchen, and a dining zone with leadlight windows. You can look out to the beautiful setting through double-glazed windows, and up to soaring cathedral ceilings crafted from timber that was once part of the Geelong Wool Store. Winters are warm with two fireplaces, reverse-cycle air conditioners and mudbrick thermal qualities, there’s a subway-tiled bathroom, a handy mudroom with a powder room, and timber, stone and carpeted floors.
The self-contained stone cottage has a myriad of uses, from welcoming guests wanting to explore this thriving tourism region to creating an artist’s studio, home office or permanent rental. It’s designed with a ground-floor lounge and kitchen, upstairs bedroom and ensuite, and wraparound veranda.
Reap the rewards of the well-designed garden, planted with citrus, fruit, olive and nut trees, eight raised vegetable beds, and plenty of space to sprawl out on the lawn or dine on the stone-paved terrace.
The care that’s gone into providing everything you need for country living continues outdoors, with many features including two dams and tanks to store 120,000 litres of water,
a timber barn, ample shedding, a dog-proof yard, and homes for your chickens.
