Harmonising contemporary luxury with the tranquillity of rural life, 'Chervins Folly', a striking four-year-old architectural residence, is a showpiece of modern design set amidst picturesque natural landscapes. Encompassing approximately 65 Ha (160 acres) of sprawling farmland, it boasts a remarkable 1 km frontage to Joyces Creek and gazes upon endless, breathtaking views, promoting a life where modern sophistication and the rustic charm of nature intertwine.

The modern architecture creates a visual spectacle against the backdrop of lush greenery, embodying a harmonious blend of innovation and nature. Sustainable living is central to the design, seamlessly integrating off-grid features like solar panels and batteries into the home's infrastructure, while the high skillion roof and diverse materials such as brick, cement block, and iron cladding enhance its visual appeal. Inside, heated polished concrete floors and soaring ceilings maintain the modern aesthetic while ensuring optimal comfort, revealing two captivating living areas that serve as the home's centrepiece. A Regency open fireplace sits central to the entertainer's domain adjacent to the sleek chef's kitchen, where a large Esse wood-burning oven and quality appliances are complemented by a generous farmhouse butler's pantry that houses a second oven and dishwasher, offering plenty of space for preparation and storage.

Walls of glass blur the lines between inside and out, showcasing panoramic views of the river flats and rolling hills at every turn, enhancing the sense of openness and inviting alfresco living on the broad deck amid landscaped gardens and a self-cleaning pool. The main bedroom sits within an independent wing, promoting privacy and indulgence, where you can wake up to stunning views through large windows and luxuriate in the ensuite bathroom with equally arresting vistas. The second and third robed bedrooms are well-zoned and share a well-appointed family bathroom, whilst highlights include a study nook, powder room and double remote garage.

Lush, fertile river flats traversed by the meandering Joyces Creek set the stage for leisure and agricultural pursuits. The spring-fed waterhole adds to the natural allure, whilst substantial farm shedding, stock and domestic right to pump from the creek, and well-fenced areas with cattle yards ensure every need is met, while ancient Red River Gums make an astounding addition to the landscape. Proximity to Daylesford, Castlemaine, and Maryborough offers convenient access to town amenities, with Ballarat just 40 minutes away and Melbourne a comfortable 2-hour drive. Truly a unique fusion of modern comfort and rural elegance, it's an opportunity not to be missed.
