Only 15 minutes from Ballarat, this distinctive bespoke country home is for those looking for more than cookie-cutter suburbia. The home is ideal for active families or those looking for a ‘tree change’.
This thermally efficient home is very private and set well back from the road. The home is beautifully presented with two wings that wrap around a protected court containing landscaped water features and terraced native gardens. All bedrooms have views across the gardens and to the surrounding woodland. The main wing of the house has two spacious bedrooms for children or guests and the main bathroom. Parents are pampered by a separate wing. The parents retreat boasts:
- Large master bedroom
- A cosy reading nook with views to a private courtyard garden.
- Large walk-in robe.
- A spacious sitting room that can also be used as a study or a private gym.
- An ensuite bathroom that must be seen to appreciate its unique aspect.
- A breezeway that links the retreat to the main building.
The two bedroom wings link to the core of the house where there is an expansive open plan living room, a dining room and a lofted home theatre room that could be converted into an office or an additional bedroom. A beautiful timber kitchen with a Euromaid cooker and Asko dishwasher is the heart of the house, and is adjacent to the laundry and mudroom. Heating is supplied by two slow combustion wood fires and cooling via reverse cycle air conditioning. The house is connected to town water, septic tank and ADSL2 internet.
The gently sloping 10 acre block has a balance of open grasslands to the front and woodlands to the rear. Native wildflowers abound and it is home to a variety of birds, echidnas and kangaroos. Ducks and a pair of Kookaburra’s nest and raise their young around the house every year and are quite tame. There is an orchard of apples, pears and assorted stone fruits adjacent to a fenced vegetable garden that is irrigated from the dam. Two powered out buildings provide a workshop/garage and garden storage large enough for powered garden tools.
The vendor is moving interstate and is motivated to sell so offers will be seriously considered.
