Executive summary:

Less than 10 minutes from the many amenities of Strathfieldsaye, and with the Eppalock Primary School just down the road, this stylish and contemporary home offers sustainable, regional living with all the benefits of a modern lifestyle readily available. With a unique and stylish finish throughout, and pockets around the house to enjoy the sun or escape from it at any time of day, or in any season, this is a sanctuary that is absolutely perfect for a buyer seeking environmentally-friendly living. Designed and oriented to maximise both energy and light, the home is set back from the road and backs on to Lyell State Forest, creating the feeling of a true sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of life. With 17 acres (approx.) of land, there is ample opportunity for revegetation or animals. A drought-tolerant garden surrounds the home and there is ample storage for vehicles and machinery.

A sunny front deck creates a grand welcome to the home, and double doors open in to a formal entry.
