Representing one of those opportunities that every now and then comes along, and after being held in the same family for over 3 generations since 1924, Tuscan Hill is now being offered for sale. The 10 year old, Post & Beam, beautifully appointed mudbrick home sits just below the crest of a hill and provides a panoramic, north easterly view to the Yarra Valley & Warburton Ranges in the distance. Totalling approx 28.9 Ha (72 acres), the land offers a mixture of both rolling, undulating land and level hilltop pastures, gradually sloping down towards Menzies Creek.

Using energy efficient, passive solar design principles, the 3 bedroom home, easily converted to 5 bedrooms, offers a rustic blend of rendered walls, timber-lined ceilings, cyprus posts and oregon beams, with clerestory windows to ensure loads of natural light. Attractive slate flooring extends across the open plan kitchen, living and dining area, whilst double glazed windows ensure thermal efficiency. Comfortable hydronic heating extends throughout the home with an additional wood heater in the living room. Additional quality appointments include Miele induction cooktop and rangehood, Smeg wall oven and Asko dishwasher, as well as electric boosted solar hot water service and 1kW grid feed solar roof panels. A large corner spa bath is a feature of the bathroom and a second shower and WC is located in the boiler room, and easily accessed from inside and outside. Both the single and double garage are under the roof line and provide secure internal access to the home. 3 phase power to the garage and house is a real plus. For a larger family the double garage is heated and could easily be modified for bedrooms.

A shady verandah extends along the front of the home and makes the ideal spot to sit and soak in the views, listen to the varied birdlife, watch the wallabies, kangaroos and wombats, as well as wedge-tailed eagles soaring on the thermal currents, or maybe just sit and read a book!
