The keywords here are Tranquil, Botanical and Magical! Located just 16km from Leongatha, but feeling like a world away, Waterfall Valley Lodges inspired mud brick construction, cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows and lofty mezzanine will set your spirits soaring. Set well back from the road, the two-storey mud brick home is architecturally stimulating- relax in the open plan living zone downstairs while gazing up to the clerestory windows and double height ceiling while enjoying the thermal and acoustic aspects that only mud-brick can offer. There is also a Lopi wood heater and reverse cycle air conditioner for year-round comfort. The ground-level floorplan comprises living, dining and kitchen as well as an open library/office space, bathroom with a luxurious corner spa, and laundry. A flight of stairs takes you to the mezzanine-style upper level where you have a birds eye view over the living zone. At one end is the master bedroom retreat where you can lie in bed relishing stunning views into the treetops and across a lake that is a Mecca for birdlife. Also in this area is an ensuite and huge walk-in-robe. At the opposite end youll find two more bedrooms with built-in-robes and another room that could be a fourth bedroom or family room.
Outdoors is a veritable botanical paradise that provides colour and interest throughout the seasons. It features winding paths to various garden rooms, lawns, mature natives and exotics including Waratahs, Pin Oak, Golden Elm, Maples, Rhodedendrons, fruit and nut trees. A babbling stream (complete with footbridges) flanked by ferns winds its way through, and a small waterfall creates a lovely spot to sit and contemplate, with privacy and serenity are assured. Abutting the property, as its nearest neighbor, and only meters from the house, is a lake where ducks, waterbirds and wildlife call this peaceful place home.
Other features include a pony paddock, shedding and infrastructure suitable and adaptable for a variety of activities and hobbies, and a small cottage with its own loo and kitchen sink which could be used as a teenage retreat, studio or tack room.
