Dixons Creek VIC 3775

Open timber stairs lead up to the spacious landing with open plan mezzanine on both sides, showcasing a wall of glass at one end that peacefully draws the outside in. With windows extending up into the pitch of the roof as well as 3 additional large Velux skylights, the light filled mezzanine area lends itself to a work space, home office, play area or could be partitioned to create private bedrooms. Beyond the mezzanine, the master bedroom takes pride of place, with its pitched roof and dual aspect providing panoramic views up the hill to the ridgeline and out over the trees of the front garden. A ceiling fan cools the bedroom in summer and the room benefits from spacious WIRs and an en-suite with walk-in shower, black granite vanity and skylight with venetian blind.
Outside, the rear of the property has a covered brick paved entertaining area that can be enjoyed year round, with steps leading up through raised flower beds filled with indigenous tree ferns. A rhododendron walk provides welcome shade in summer and there are 2 kms of walking tracks to explore through gullies and up hills backing onto State Forest and the Brock Spur Track. Paths lead through gorgeous plantings with timber retaining walls and lawned areas, a fantastic selection of fruit trees, including espaliered nashi, mature almond, prolific citrus and towering kiwi fruit. A securely fenced well-stocked veggie garden has access to rainwater tanks and outbuildings include a garden shed, plus double garage/workshed with power, concrete floor and adjoining undercover area.
The house is serviced by two water tanks, one of which pumps to the main storage tank with a tap and pipe to the veggie garden (approx. 36,000L capacity). An underground watering system, pumped from the dam, feeds the house gardens, and this combined with a septic waste system, makes this an eco-friendly home.
Just a 10 minute drive to Yarra Glen, and near Dixons Creek Primary School this incredible property is beautifully private yet still close to town. Call to make an appointment today, because this gorgeous home and gardens won t be on the market for long. 0448 638 965
