Sustainability with design based on passive solar so healthy house with key features for looking for somewhere to grow food, low chemical use, selected building materials and finishes

Designed as four pods to maximise flexibility of use and for northern access of light and sun and constant enjoyment throughout the seasons, this property needs to be visited to be truly appreciated. With its passive solar design to suit the climate and location, it is an original and the opportunity to live in a very up-to-date 15 year old home.

The living room, kitchen and dining room are all one gorgeous open space. Sun-filled from Autumn to Spring with thermal mass in the tiled areas providing energy efficiency and delightful spots to relax, eat, read and entertain. The dining area sits 8 with lovely garden views, including outdoors eating on the deck. The living room also has deck for outside entertaining or soaking up the sun.

Recycled timbers used for a customised kitchen blending well with a Poggen Pohl island bench, breakfast bar and glass cabinet.

The Main Bedroom is upstairs with an ensuite. Lovely views over the town and out to western Victoria from the sitting area for writing or reading.

On the Western wing, two Queen sized bedrooms with the main bathroom and separate toilet adjacent. This has been used in many ways. Sometimes a bedroom and music room; sometimes a bedroom and sitting room for an elderly parent providing some separation and independence. As a B&B the queen bed sized rooms provide a good wing for children or couples. External access is also available from locked doors if additional privacy is ever needed.

Stunning sunsets and evening skies from high on Wombat Hill is one of the many joys of this house. Star studded big skies are daily enjoyments with Daylesford nestled in to the Wombat Forest.

The studio attached and accessed with its own door next to the house main entrance, it also has access across the courtyard, or its own private entrance and parking area. With its multi use design the studio has been used as the 4th bedroom. It has its own full bathroom and kitchenette. At other times it has been used as an office for professional services; a therapy centre; and a B&B. Ideal too as a studio for a writer or painter. Blended or extended families means it provides excellent flexible accommodation.

Design of spaces is also key in this property. The courtyard provides a fire pit for cosy nights (or day), and sun traps in winter and cool spaces in summer. Sitting and reading areas, enterprise or creative spaces, entertaining and family times.

The low maintenance, mainly native garden also enjoys some lawn and area for veggie growing, herbs and fruit trees. Already some apples espaliered on the fence and a passionfruit. Anyone wanting to enjoy garden activities will appreciate the northern facing access, gorgeous volcanic soil and masses of water in a 27,000 litre water tank.
