Barkers Creek VIC 3451

Enjoy the tranquillity of country living on this idyllic 5 acre lifestyle property. From the gate, the driveway winds its way through quintessential Australian bush with towering eucalypts, native flora and fauna and a tranquil, supremely private outlook, further enhanced by your private use of 3 acres of Crown Land fronting Specimen Gully Road. Superbly positioned at the top of the hill is a lovely timber and iron homestead with front, rear and side verandahs and decks, designed and built to capture a wide panorama of natural Australian landscape with extensive views.

Step from the wide, covered, front deck into an interior that is light-filled and generously proportioned. An all-white palette contrasts beautifully with exposed timber beams and detail delivering a warm and welcoming vibe. With feature windows and walls of glass drawing the outside in, the free-flowing dining and living zones open to a thoughtfully designed kitchen with sweeping white benchtops and extensive cabinetry in complimentary timber tones. Features include gas/electric cooking, dishwasher and spacious breakfast bar.

With its stunning alfresco deck and numerous garden-set rest and contemplation spaces, outdoor dining and entertainment will be a regular delight. There are three bedrooms, a dual aspect king size premier suite with WIR and ensuite and at the opposite end of the home, two double bedrooms each with BIRs and sharing a conveniently located family bathroom with shower, bath, vanity, toilet plus Euro-style laundry. Additional features include a slow combustion heating and reverse-cycle air-conditioning and ceiling fans in all bedrooms and living areas. Outside there is dual carport fronting a double garage/workshop, double wood stores and a 6mx3m garden shed. The home's relaxed lifestyle credentials are clearly evident.
