A long sweeping driveway leads past the dam and pony paddocks to the inspirational mudbrick and bluestone residence of Birralee, nestled on around 5 acres against a picturesque rural backdrop.

Introduced by magnificent leadlight doors, the residence evokes memories of early architecture that has become synonymous with this district. Reclaimed timbers, slate flooring, and earthy hues combine to create a home that is timeless in appeal and priceless in replacement.

Designed around a Japanese inspired courtyard, the well proportioned residence features a fantastic open plan living room with a huge bluestone fireplace, a generous galley kitchen overlooking a private brick-paved courtyard, separate rumpus room, four large bedrooms (main with spa ensuite), and double car-port.

Other features include town water connection, 5 water tanks, solar blanket insulation within the new roofing, and automatic watering systems for the 1.5 acres of house garden.

Set amongst lovely gardens on the crest of a hill, the property captures spectacular views of the bush surroundings. The solar heated pool with paved BBQ area is another great place for the family to enjoy!

A magnificent separate mud brick studio close to the main home is fully self contained with a large bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, sizeable storage space and mezzanine floor. With stunning views, this multi-purpose guest house would be perfect as in-law accommodation, a fabulous teenage retreat, a bed and breakfast (STCA) or home office.

Within minutes of Diamond Creek (and around 25 minutes to Melbourne airport) in a peaceful, secluded location, this property provides the ideal setting for the growing family to enjoy an enviable country lifestyle. Simply superb.
