Hurstbridge VIC 3099

SOLD by Jellis Craig. Remotely located on one of the highest elevations in town, with views over to the Kinglake Ranges from one side, and to the city on the other, this 15 acre property is a beautiful wildlife sanctuary for those who want the escape. Surrounded by a natural bush setting with plenty of birdlife around, it's hard to imagine a property of this size is an easy walk into Hurstbridge Village, yet feels a million miles away. For those seeking the quiet lifestyle and who want the ability to separate themselves from the day to day grind, the noise and the people, this property is something really special to come home to. Not only will the land provide the buffer from reality, the home is something quite unique in its own right. Built by local craftsman and stonemason Leigh Wykes, the use of grounding materials invites conversation and provides a warm sense of laid back rural living, including Coldstream rock, hand made iron balustrades on the staircase, Oregon trusses, and features rustic rail sleepers throughout. Everywhere you turn there's something nostalgic to look at. Extending over two levels, the ground level accommodates an open plan living and dining room with plenty of large windows that frame the bushland beyond. The kitchen is minimalist and is neatly tucked away, so too is the 2nd bathroom/laundry and two of the three bedrooms and main bathroom. Upstairs is also an open layout, providing a large space which can be flexible to your needs. Currently used as the master bedroom, it's an easy space to incorporate another living area, art studio, mezzanine retreat; whatever takes your fancy. A second level balcony provides a lovely place to sit outdoors and admire the endless view and interesting landscape. Two split systems, ceiling fans and a wood fire create year round comfort, although the home is very well insulated with double glazed windows upstairs and quality building materials. Two water tanks, covered and sunny outdoor sitting areas, sheds and a long private driveway, create a perfectly quiet and serene environment.
