Rarely will you find a property this beautiful and unique.
Inspiring, this property feels like your own private rain forest retreat somewhere in Indonesia.
In an elevated position with views over the treetops through to Bendigo, this two story work of art is a home versatile enough to provide a comfortable residence to a large family or even a home business.
An adventure awaits behind the natural facade of established shrubs and trees.
Any of the crushed stone paths that wind in and around this front garden will lead you to private spaces where you can take in the surrounds and collect your thoughts.
It’s easy to forget that you are in suburbia until you look around and see the house peering out from behind the foliage.
Approximately 10 years old, this property will never date.
Set apart from its peers by innovative design, e.g. – the elegant curved roof line and the ironbark poles (harvested from the Wellsford forest) providing the skeleton on which the external walls attach.
A ramp at the front of the home leads you to the first floor decking.
All under roof, the decking surrounds the entire home providing many vantage points from which to take in amazing sunrises and the city lights at night.
The east side of the first floor is a wall of windows, taking advantage of the morning sun and flooding the kitchen and main living areas with natural light.
The kitchen is well appointed and will impress the culinary enthusiast with red gum bench tops and cabinetry, marble floor tiling, free standing stainless steel electric oven, gas cook top, dishwasher and large walk in pantry.
An open plan design, the living room off the kitchen embodies tranquillity with polished cypress timber flooring leading your eyes to a feature wall, a teak shopfront imported from Indonesia.
Vibrant colours on the walls that surround lifts the energy in each room of the house and at the same time, the combination of natural timbers retains that warm feeling of home.
Beyond the shopfront, through the beads is the 2nd living area with hard wearing jute & coya floorcoverings and windows everywhere.
Opening the cedar blinds fills the room with light and allows gorgeous views of the bird life frolicking in the treetops outside.
The Master bedroom, with its curved ceiling, feels like a cocoon in which to rest peacefully at the end of the long day.
An innovative built in robe separates the bedroom from the ensuite, allowing access to the robe from either side.
The ensuite is bathed in natural light through a combination of leadlight windows and glass bricks and comprises a double shower, toilet and handcrafted silver top ash timber vanity.
Curved corridors off the living area lead you to two other bedrooms, both with built in robes, a laundry and a main bathroom, also with curved walls and a hand crafted timber vanity.
Hydronic heating and natural cooling control the temperature to all parts of the house.
Down stairs is currently set up as a large guest bedroom, open studio/study/workshop area, separate study/wine cellar and a big rumpus room with external entrance but provides the option for a multitude of other uses – an ideal floor plan for businesses working from home.
The carport is sited on the east side and handy to yet another entrance to the property.
A studio in the backyard is a building constructed in the same way as the house, fully lined and insulated with a concrete floor and power.
Ready for conversion into a self-contained bungalow, hot and cold water as well as a septic system are available for connection at the corner of the construction.
A sun deck off the back veranda is another secluded area providing an excellent place to entertain friends and family.
Slightly elevated, this deck allows views of the back yard, vegie garden, and some fruit trees.
Fitting in with a theme of self-sustainability and living a healthier lifestyle.
A spectacular property that needs to be seen to be believed.
