Hidden within the tree lined spearhead fence lies a magnificent home on 4.5 acres specifically designed to create the most inviting atmosphere graced with the highest quality finishes. An indulgent dream home that fulfils an avid entertainer’s wish list, in secluded privacy on the edge of town.

Upon entering the horseshoe drive you are greeted by highly developed gardens with towering Chanticleers for soft sweet springtime snow and dappled sunlight over flower beds encompassing a stately fountain as a picture perfect centrepiece.

A wide portico graciously welcomes you. The home is elegant and substantial yet supremely functional in design and detail. Even the foyer deserves appreciation; lead light panelled entry door with matching side windows, ceiling rose and glittering chandelier, etched glass double doors with brass fittings. The high standard set here remains consistent throughout the home and indeed the whole property.

The office could be a fourth bedroom. Separately switched downlights and an abundance of power-points, offers a taste of the practical considerations also consistent throughout to ensure owners and guests alike need never give a second thought to convenience.

A large bathroom is tiled to the ceiling with an oversized shower, deep spa bath, full length mirror and complimentarily positioned skylight. A huge laundry with discreetly plumbed Asko front loader, fridge hutch, bench and desk space is also ideal for bottling your home grown fruit.

Take a deep breath and prepare to be impressed as you approach the master suite, it is simply stunning, you will yearn to wake up here. The luxury ensuite and his-and-hers dressing room is everything you could wish for. As you would expect in a home of this calibre Crimsafe screens and doors, sensor lights, floodlights, monitored security system and deadlocks provide peace of mind and utter security.

You have a 180 degree view of the tiled salt chlorinated, solar heated pool and breathtaking gazebo from a splendid living room and kitchen which has a wide window with a remote control retractable awning and side servery windows to cater for poolside entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is the superb formal dining room then a spacious split level formal lounge with timber lined vaulted ceilings, piped music and a 6 star rated Archer gas log fire.

Beyond another set of double doors an entertaining mecca is revealed. This expansive room is equipped with a large wet bar and room enough for a dance floor, some comfy sofas, a puzzles table and a study nook. Comfort will never be an issue with zoned central heating, ducted evaporative cooling and a massive ceiling mounted 14HP invertor for those really humid days.

Yet what really distinguishes this property is the outdoors. Will you go for a dip in the pool, hone your tennis skill on the concrete apron beside the garage just pop up the net, hit a ball on the cricket pitch, or practice your golf swing on the driving range? This fairway boasts Santa Anna turf and two sand bunkers. Perhaps you would just like to kick back in a tinny on the huge dam and maybe even hook a fish.

And the piece de resistance? The most idyllic custom built gazebo imaginable; built-in-barbecue, mesh blinds, elevated fernery with mood lighting and water feature, a setting fit for a wedding. It has played host to huge parties which have spilled over to dot the lawn with tables and fill the air with music and laughter. This is truly the stuff that dreams are made of.

On a more practical note the property also contains an aviary, chook house, two enclosed orchards and vegetable gardens, all covered with automated sprinkler systems. Handy pet enclosures with 6′ fences. The whole property is fenced to keep your dog in and rabbits out.

Abundant water is another outstanding attribute with town water for domestic use, plus a large 5 megalitre dam directly fed from the Eppalock Bendigo pressurised pipeline with a whopping 12.8 megalitre water licence providing a reliable year round supply. Also a rainwater tank to top up the pool.

Substantial shedding includes an 80′x25′ triple car garage and large workshop, also a 60′x25′ machinery shed with 5 tall remote roller doors to accommodate a truck, caravan, horse float etc., and the fairway mower and equipment. Both complete with power, extensive lighting, concrete floor and overhead gantry.
