Idyllically positioned at the rear of this court in an exclusive community of only 5. A wonderful opportunity to design your passive solar home to take advantage of the favoured northerly aspect. Sit and relax as the local fauna parade past your home late in the afternoon - kangaroos and their joeys, echidnas and in summer, rare yellow tailed black cockatoos who come to feast on the silver banksia seed pods. The only Freeway you will “endure” is Nature's Freeway!
Enjoy the contemporary country lifestyle, scenic walking trails and a variety of local eateries including Annie Smithers' renowned Du Fermier restaurant, the soon to reopen Hotel Trentham and the historic Cosmopolitan Hotel. Red Beard Bakery features amazing sourdough bread, whilst a plethora of cafes including Aterics and Trentham General offer scrumptious breakfast, lunch and great coffee in a relaxed, country setting.
Trentham is one of the most desirable locations in the Central Highlands of Victoria. Nearby towns including Daylesford, Kyneton and Woodend are within 20 minutes easy driving distance. Comfortable V/Line trains are available from Kyneton or Woodend, taking around an hour to reach Melbourne CBD and even less to Bendigo.
Background:
Banksia Place is located off Manna Lane within the Blue Mount Rise Estate that was conceived in 2003 when it was relatively uncommon to mandate energy efficient home design (minimum 6 star energy rating) and harvesting of rainwater to reduce reliance on reticulated water supplies.
Leading Sustainability Architects, Sunpower Design, created the Blue Mount Rise Design Guidelines in 2004 to guide original purchasers of land to achieve a beautiful, energy efficient, passive solar home.
It is obvious to most people today that designing a home that uses less energy and water makes good economic sense as well as being good for the environment.
Values:
Prospective buyers will ideally share the Blue Mount Rise values of sustainability and environmental responsibility. Each home built within the estate is a unique expression of these values.
