Inside, a sparkling renovation awaits with a fresh white palette of neutral colours creating clean simplicity in the kitchen and bathrooms. For showcase entertaining, a grand stone top island bench serves as the centrepiece of the dining hub, with premium s/s appliances including an induction stove ready to welcome the family chef. A bricked BBQ area with views across the valley provides an ideal family gathering area.

Rainfall showers, plantation window shutters and statement travertine inspired tiling bring total elegance to the bathrooms, which are sized to please with open plan freedom and grand mirrors over the vanities. Desert oak laminate floors, a sparkling array of downlights, character French windows and red brick feature walls add warmth and detail to the sprawling single level residence which is infused with gorgeous natural light from its north facing aspect. The residence sits on a concrete slab. A perfect climate inside is maintained by evaporative cooling to the whole house and reverse cycle heating and cooling to the kitchen area and family rooms.

A 5.7kW Solar PV system includes 20 panels and an 8.2kW inverter to provide cheap energy during the day. There is also a solar hot water system. A 90,000 litre concrete tank supplies the house with fresh rain water.

The property is set up for animal husbandry including cattle and agistment with the potential for equestrian and sheep. The grazing land is divided into seven paddocks each with its own water trough connected to a sophisticated water reticulation system. The pastures include shelter belts and two large dams (one with its own pontoon and elevated deck with lockable hut). Both dams have electric water pumps that supply six 30,000 litre tanks which provide piped water to all areas of the garden and the water troughs.

A huge Hi-Line colorbond shed (15m x 9m) with concrete floors and power, a new hay shed (12m x 6m) plus an oversized double garage with internal access are also featured.

An enclosed and gated vegetable garden features four raised beds with gravel paths. Fruit trees include cherry, apricot and apple. A 20 sqm hothouse with benches provides an opportunity to display exotic plants or undertake year-round propagation. Two shade cloth covered bush houses also support plant cultivation.

A childrens play area comprises a swing set, sand pit and a play-house with attached slide. A chook-yard includes a chook-house with nesting boxes accessible from outside the enclosure. A large fish pond with pump and small fountain feature water lilies and many fish.

The concrete swimming pool is built into granite boulders and is protected by two large shade sails. A pool house with decking provides the perfect place to relax and watch children in the pool. A compliant fence and gate provides safety. A strip solar pool heating system takes the chill off the water and a gas fired pool heater is provided. The pool has a salt chlorinator with sand filter.

The property has two fire pumps (petrol) at opposite ends of the house and additional units at the shed and dam house. A sprinkler system is attached to the roof of the house.

Regular visitors to the garden are king parrots, crimson rosellas, kookaburras, galahs, lorikeets and many finches. Wombats have made the property home and wallabies and kangaroos are regularly seen in the paddocks. A wooden post and rail fence keeps domestic animals inside the property. A school bus service passes the front gate.

With quick access to Melbourne and Tullamarine via the M1 freeway and close to local village shops, cafes and bakehouses, this property is a must see.
