Imagine yourself standing on the expansive deck of this wonderful home, iced tea in hand looking out onto the never-ending rolling hills of the Acheron Valley and perhaps consider tomorrow's "to do's" Or perhaps you would prefer to gaze onto the face of the Cathedral Ranges and plan your next hike into the bush This rural oasis is positioned perfectly to endow its new owners with a lifestyle that puts the emphasis on Living Life in Style.
This sanctuary has been lovingly created over the past 30 years and its current custodians are now looking to hand over the reins to the next caretaker. There is much to work with here, with excellent infrastructure on offer, commencing with the beautiful hand-built home. Off grid, and sited to maximise the expansive views, every care has been taken in choice of materials used to build this home. From stepping onto the recently rebuilt verandas, its lovely to stop and admire the Australian hardwood timber used in its construction to the large windows that frame the views ensuring that so much of the home is entwined with the panoramic outlook.
Transitional indoor/outdoor living is seamlessly achieved with double glazed doors opening onto the verandas. The sitting room offers soaring vaulted ceilings and is filled with light; cosy with its wood heater and spilt system, while the verandas exclude the hot summer sun. The kitchen is generous, with bespoke benches and pantries providing plenty of pantry space for the chemical free produce from the netted orchard. An operating wood burning oven is supplemented by gas hot plates with a dining area adjacent. Recycled timber flooring from a Port Melbourne warehouse is a feature throughout the home, where all wooden areas have been treated with organic oils. A laundry sits behind the kitchen and provides additional storage space. Further into the home are two of the three bedrooms, served by a lovely family bathroom, with toilet and shower and good storage. If the weather turns sour, internal access from the double garage offers direct entry to the living areas.
The hardwood stairs open into a huge mezzanine space, again with wonderful views and decks. Currently used as a study and second living space, it would be easy to see this space as a yoga room or workshop area. Additional storage is found in the eaves. Finally, the large Master bedroom has views of both the Acheron Valley and Cathedral Ranges, a lovely ensuite and a wonderful walk-in wardrobe. Again, supplementary storage is found in the eaves.
The home is warmed on those chilly winter mornings by a choice of a split system with electricity generated from the extensive solar panel system, or the gas hydronic heater, or the large wood burning heater. Externally, much of the home has been clad in mini corrugated iron to minimise maintenance.
The property has been kept chemical free throughout the current custodian's tenure, for the entirety of the 38 acres. A variety of heirloom fruit trees such as Cox's Pippin Apples, Snow Apples, Pomegranates, Turkey Brown Fig and mixed stone fruits are found in the extensive enclosed orchard together with a number of productive vegetable beds. A selection of citrus fruits is also available. Hazel nuts, pistachio and a small olive grove are spread throughout the property
A large pasture area slopes away from the home on the northerly aspect, enhancing the expansive outlook and is irrigated from the property's dams. The area could be used from small scale cropping or stock rotation or any horticultural pursuit.
Below the main home, closer to the road is a four bay machinery shed and the original house - a simple two-bedroom cottage, which opens up the discussion around multi-generational living, or a possible supplementary income source.
There is a good balance of open land and bush. A dam helps with supplementary water, while the house has approximately 50,000 litres of water storage. A bore is also on the property, relieving water issues.
Located a leisurely 40-minute drive beyond Healesville and approximately 15 minutes from Alexandra and less than 25 minutes from the Lake Eildon boat ramp the home is a country paradise. The perfect weekender or permanent home. A two hour drive gets you into Melbourne central.
This wonderful area is known for its clear mountain streams and active lifestyle. This is the perfect property to embark on a tree change with meaning.
