Comprising of three bedrooms, two bathrooms (master with en suite), main kitchen, butlers kitchen, study, library, heated indoor pool and large rumpus/gym, the floor plan can also easily accommodate conversion to two discreet homes.
Design of this 10 year old spacious home is contemporary, rural, Australian; inspired by the work of renowned architect 'Glenn Murcutt'. Walls, like the roof, are constructed from galvanised corrugated steel with expansive areas of glass. Bench tops in kitchens, bathrooms and rumpus room are polished local hardwood. The living area is floored with Victorian Ash hardwood and heated by an open fire, solid fuel heating and LPG. Ducted cooling throughout the house is provided by energy efficient evaporative cooling.
An indoor pool room and rumpus room are heated through their polished concrete floors while the heating of the pool is via a heat transfer pump integrated with its filtration system.
All rooms other than study and rumpus open directly onto the deck overlooking an acre of landscaped garden to the Victorian Alps beyond.
The master bedroom is completely glazed on 3 sides; two overlooking a large ornamental pool, the third opening directly into the pool room. A large travertine tile en suite bathroom is accessed from the fourth side of the room.
Household power is supplemented by 1.4 kw of solar panels while house water is stored in a 43,000 litre rainwater tank.
Covering 1.5 acres, the fenced home site is comprised of landscaped gardens, large ornamental ponds with bridges and boardwalk, two sheds, two orchards, vegetable garden and large fenced poultry / dog pen. Two outdoor entertaining areas to the north and the south abut the house.
A large dam overlooked by the house has a jetty for swimming and provides water to the gardens and orchards throughout the home site. This and a second landscaped dam immediately to the east of the home site are spring fed. An additional two springs provide water to the north of the property.
Most of the property is pasture rich in (and managed for) native grass species (Austrodanthonia, Austrostipa, Microlaena, Themida and Bothriochloa). Five acres has been planted to local Eucalypt and Acacia species to sequester carbon.
This property is located at the end of a short surfaced lane with school buses available at the corner. Inspection will impress.
