Beyond the custom solar-powered automated front gate, this exceptional lifestyle property offers something increasingly difficult to find: a beautifully established home with the comfort of modern living, the freedom of open space and the infrastructure to genuinely embrace a more self-sufficient way of life.
From the moment you step inside, there is an immediate sense of warmth and character. Rich hardwood floorboards extend through the entrance, hallway, kitchen, dining and lounge, complemented by exposed brickwork, classic shutters and French doors. Together, these details create a home with genuine personality, where quality finishes sit naturally alongside the relaxed character of country living.
At the centre of the home, the kitchen has been designed for those who genuinely enjoy cooking and entertaining. Italian porcelain tiles, stone benchtops and excellent storage are complemented by a 900mm German Neff induction cooktop, Italian Falmec rangehood, Miele oven and Asko dishwasher. The adjoining dining and living areas create a natural gathering point for everyday life and entertaining, with a fireplace in the living room adding warmth and atmosphere through the cooler months.
Privately positioned at the rear of the home, the master suite provides a peaceful retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and well-appointed ensuite, complete with excellent storage and a frameless glass shower. The remaining bedrooms are equally inviting, each featuring built-in wardrobes and luxurious pure wool carpet.
The central bathroom is beautifully appointed with Italian tiles, a freestanding bath and substantial built-in storage, while the exceptionally large laundry provides extensive storage and workspace, making one of the home's most practical rooms an impressive feature in its own right.
Year-round comfort is effortlessly managed by Daikin reverse-cycle heating and refrigerated cooling, intelligently divided into three zones. Additional insulation has been added to the existing roof batts, while a heat pump hot water system and 6.6kW solar system and two inverters further enhance the home's efficiency.
Outside, the property truly comes into its own.
The established gardens have been developed with both beauty and productivity in mind. A substantial irrigated vegetable garden provides the opportunity to grow an abundance of produce, supported by an excellent-quality potable bore with water distributed throughout the gardens.
Beyond the vegetable garden, nine established olive trees sit among an impressive collection of fruit trees producing cherries, pears, peaches, plums, apricots, figs, apples and nashi pears. A dedicated berry enclosure is home to raspberries, blackberries and boysenberries, creating a productive garden that continues to reward throughout the seasons.
There is something particularly appealing about a property where so much of the landscape can be enjoyed and used. Fruit can be picked straight from the tree, vegetables harvested from the garden and berries gathered for homemade preserves, while the established plantings provide a beautiful backdrop to everyday life.
Water security has been thoughtfully considered, with a 40,000-litre concrete water tank supplying the home, a 30,000-litre Colorbond tank, a 10,000-litre concrete tank and a 4,500-litre poly tank complementing the property's excellent bore supply. A seasonal dam adds another dimension to the landscape, while three paddocks with updated external fencing provide flexibility for animals, hobbies or simply making the most of the space.
The property's rural infrastructure is a significant advantage. A substantial three-bay shed provides excellent garage and workshop space, complemented by powered wood sheds, additional shed areas with lighting and power, extensive outbuildings and a fitted shipping container complete with shelving and benchtop. Two-phase power services the larger sheds, creating the capacity for machinery, equipment, projects and serious workshop pursuits.
There is also an abundance of firewood sourced directly from the property, while the historic 1948 windmill positioned to the north provides a distinctive landmark and is visible from the dining room, adding to the property's established rural character.
And when it is time to venture beyond the property, the best of the Macedon Ranges is within easy reach. Enjoy a welcoming country community, renowned cafes, boutique shopping, local wineries and the popular monthly farmers' market, while schools, parks and everyday amenities are all readily accessible. Melbourne's CBD is approximately 70km away, Melbourne Airport is around 40 minutes from home, and Clarkefield and Riddells Creek train stations are also within easy reach.
This is a property with substance. The gardens are mature, the infrastructure is already established and the home has been thoughtfully improved to deliver modern comfort without losing the character and feeling that make this property so special.
