Relax into the warm embrace of neighboring vineyards and the verdant hinterland countryside with this inviting four-bedroom mud brick home nestled among gorgeous old world gardens on an extremely versatile eight acres.

A fabulous opportunity to create the country lifestyle of your dreams where you can keep horses, free range the chooks and have the crisper stocked with fresh produce from your own plot.

Enjoying the superb insulative properties of this time-honored building method, the home remains beautifully cool in summer, while a big slow combustion heater keeps things cosy over the winter months making this the ideal year-round escape.

Incorporating reclaimed timbers, high clerestory windows and rough cast finishes to deliver atmosphere and rustic ambience, the heart of the home is a generous open plan living and dining zone where multiple sets of French doors connect the home to its lovely surrounds.

A simple country-style kitchen with walk-in pantry will certainly do the job but could easily be extended to meet the needs of the family’s masterchef, while zoned bedroom accommodation includes two with fun loft-style retreats that will be a hit with parents and kids alike.

Just a short drive from schools, shops and amenities in the charming Balnarring Village, extras here include a variety of useful sheds and outbuildings, a large hayshed and deep triple garage with workshop.
