Perhaps the finest example of early Australian Federation architecture we have seen is embodied in this magnificent modern, crafted residence. If the style and substance of the home isn’t enough to take your breath away, the added impact of its serene and beautiful setting certainly will. Views extend over cleared pastures, a crystal clear, spring fed lake-like dam to nearby tree-studded hills and across to distant blue ranges beyond. It’s hard to imagine the Princes Highway and bustling Pakenham is about 15 minutes way! A gated entry extends to a winding drive lined by magnificent oak trees revealing the home and its associated outbuildings, these include a substantial loft style home/office or store, covered parking for 3 cars, and an outstanding covered pavilion entertainment area complete with fire place and kitchenette. (A truly stunning setting to entertain or relax in) Features of the home are too numerous to fully list however they include banquet sized dining room with original pressed metal ceiling, box bay windows, intricate fretwork, paneled ceilings, reclaimed hardwood floors, double hung windows, leadlight windows, beautiful carved staircase to main bedroom suite with private balcony, ensuite with spa, dressing room and further staircase to viewing tower. Four further bedrooms (one, a guest room with ensuite), a children’s loft, gorgeous country kitchen with Ilve range, informal living room opening to verandah and 3rd living room with open fire. Year round comfort is maintained by hydronic panel heating and ducted cooling. The property is serviced by mains water and the substantial dam. A gardener’s paradise, the property has been extensively planted and provides perfect growing conditions in its rich red mountain soil.
