Situated at the end of a quiet country road, this light-filled 3 or 4br family home enjoys great privacy and views for miles from its spacious deck looking out over a pretty tiered pond and water feature, established gardens and trees to the mountains beyond. Surrounded by large acreage properties, an easement plus a State Forest on your doorstep, this property is in a sought after rural location 15 minutes drive from Yarra Glen.
The approach to the house is through gates along a 300m driveway meandering through mature trees, past an ornamental dam, with views over the tennis court and up to the rear paddock. From the double carport, a generous deck runs the length of the house, providing a tremendous entertaining area; the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast in the morning sun. Glass sliding doors open into a lovely dining area with gorgeous slate floor, kitchen straight ahead and family room to the left.
The country style kitchen has hand-crafted blackwood cabinetry and bench tops, a wood combustion stove with a beautiful copper range hood (the stove heats the radiators throughout the house), a two-way wood box, gas cooktop with electric oven and double sink looking out to rear garden. To the left, a good size family room has a feature bay window overlooking the deck and a welcoming Ultimate wood burner on a brick hearth with jarrah mantelpiece (providing a ducted heat transfer system) and its own enclosed glass panelled sunroom with doors to a covered patio. Away from the entertaining areas, at the end of the house, the sizeable master bedroom has a WIR, en-suite shower room, a door to the sunroom and is filled with light from a floor to ceiling bay window with views out over the property.
Beyond the dining room, the house has wood flooring and three further bedrooms each with fitted robes, one with doors out to the front deck. In addition, there’s a good-sized family bathroom, linen closet, separate WC, and spacious laundry with sink and cupboards with direct access to outside.
Outside, the property has paths leading to level lawned areas, roses, fruit trees (stone fruit and citrus), raised vegie gardens with reticulated water system, composting area, a securely fenced dog run, paddock and chook shed. Extensive outbuildings include an undercover carport for five vehicles, stone and shingle shed with concrete floor, power and ample storage including loft, plus separate studio/work shed with a wooden floor and pot belly stove.
The house benefits from double insulation, double-glazing and is served by two water tanks, one which pumps to the main storage tank (100,000 litre capacity).
Just a short drive to Yarra Glen, this incredible property is beautifully private yet still near to town. Call to make an appointment today, because this gorgeous home and gardens won’t be on the market for long. 0448 638 965
