On 3.66 acres (approx.) in a tightly held location just south of Woodend, this handcrafted three-bedroom mudbrick home is brimming with individuality and character. Built from local Pastoria clay, it feels at one with its environment, framed by established parkland-style gardens of English trees, oaks, crab-apple, roses, azaleas, rhododendrons and a vibrant carpet of bulbs, with kangaroos and wildlife lazing about on the property's dedicated fauna trail fenced off from the garden. Inside, the home celebrates craftsmanship with soaring raked ceilings reaching 3.8 metres, exposed Oregon beams, slate floors, and beautiful reclaimed doors from Salesian College paired with stained glass windows. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area features timber benchtops, a walk-in pantry, and 900mm appliances, flowing seamlessly to a north-facing alfresco with wisteria-draped pergolaan idyllic space for outdoor gatherings. The spacious master suite includes a walk-in robe and bathroom with clawfoot bath and oversized shower, while two further bedrooms are complete with built-in robes.
Practical living is well considered, with a carport under the main roof offering scope for conversion to a fourth bedroom or studio. Sustainable features include solar panels, the natural thermal qualities of mudbrick, a dam with two pumps, multiple rainwater tanks combining 78,600 litres of water, a productive veggie patch with hot house, and chicken coop. For the tradesperson or car enthusiast, a vast 14.5m x 12.2m shed provides secure storage for multiple vehicles. A secured dog yard keeping your loved ones safe. Just 3.6km from Woodend train station and only 40 minutes to Melbourne Airport, this property presents a rare chance to secure a unique, handcrafted home with space, character, and lifestyle convenience.
