Retreat, escape, weekender, home. This property is all of these and more.

This superb property offers seclusion, space, peace and quiet and a sublime outlook at a price impossible to match if rebuilding today. It is an ideal country retreat situated just over one-hour drive from Melbourne and only 10 minutes from the Healesville Township. Set on 55 acres (approx. ) of natural bush amongst abundant wildlife this exceptional home with its person-friendly rooms and towering window views offers space and peacefulness for owners and guests.

The home was purpose built in 1993 by Max Carter and designed by Peter Thompson, Architect, and offers 3 spacious bedrooms and large open-plan living with generously sized kitchen with stainless steel benches. There are two single garage spaces and plenty of room for storage at ground level.

Colourbond with thick insulation keeps the place warm in winter and cool in summer. External shutters originally suggested by the CFA add immensely to comfort by retaining heat in winter particularly at night and providing filtered coolness in the heat. They cover all external windows and doors and add to security and safety. Electricity is provided by solar panels and water comes from the roof into a 200,000-litre water tank. So goodbye bills!

The long picturesque driveway is easily negotiated with a soft roader such as a Subaru or RAV4. Its illusionary steepness discourages unwanted guests and adds to security and privacy.

Even the grounds look after themselves as the wallabies eat the grass at sundown and the sloping lawn never needs mowing.

If you are looking for a low-maintenance home that offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life then this is the property for you.

Inspections are by appointment only.
