Anakie VIC 3213

Enjoy inner-city warehouse style while living in a blissful bush setting. Built by the vendor's family over 30 years ago this two-story, original design combines solid mud-brick walling with extensive recycled materials (including trusses from the old Barwon Woolen Mills). Constructed on a large scale, the main interior space features open plan, high ceilings with exposed beam-work and reclaimed brick flooring. Framing this space are the main entry doors which look directly onto the Anakie Sisters hills, presenting a stunning outlook. Antique barn doors provide for either enjoying this landscape or creating privacy and comfort at ease. Set on a sloping block, the views (which cannot be built out) sweep uninterrupted from across the Barrabool Hills, Geelong, You Yangs and towards Melbourne.
The residence offers one ground floor bedroom (with BIR) and a lovely reclaimed Jarrah timber staircase leads to the oversized bedroom upstairs, which without too much effort could easily be converted into further bedrooms. The upstairs has a private balcony with vintage French Doors leading onto elevated views of the surrounding acreage and bush scenery.
The country-style kitchen with gas heater, bathroom, storage and utility room are all located on the ground floor. A welcoming slow-combustion solid wood heater warms the home, and there are ceiling fans in the living area and upstairs bedroom. Outdoors there is generous carport space for four cars and further 3 vehicle accommodation (plus lockable storage) available in the front shed. Water is self-sufficient by capture in four tanks (totalling 34,000 litres), whilst a new treatment plant for the septic system along with one large dam also service the property.
