Many wish for a more relaxed way of life – this is a home that ensures total relaxation and includes the added bonus of plentiful views of the natural surroundings. Built in 2001, this treasured residence has undergone a complete makeover with an extension that makes the most of its picturesque landscape. A great example of contemporary design that combines the skillful use of materials and the charm of natural scenery.

The front entrance is graced with an enchanting ornamental grape vine that has a thick lush cover of green leaves intertwined with beautiful rose bushes. The theme continues as you enter the house into the central lounge area which includes an open fire place that brings welcomed warmth and ambience. The guest bedroom opens out to this area and features its own private patio accessed through large glass sliding doors – a place to sit and take in the morning sun and enjoy the surrounding gardens.

The main bedroom has a clever walk-through wardrobe that takes you through to the large modern ensuite. A separate bath, shower and toilet exist with a solid timber vanity unit that pairs beautifully with the whites and greys used elsewhere in the bathroom. It is an ensuite that has been able to create a feeling of warmth and rejuvenation.

An oversized office and two more bedrooms exist. Both bedrooms have BIR’s, ceiling fans and views of the gorgeous cottage-style garden full of colour, texture, and native plantings.

The design of the family bathroom is clean and modern with the grey and white tones giving it a contemporary edge.

The white cabinetry and lightweight contemporary furnishings in the kitchen/dining, combine with the oak floorboards in a unique manner to provide simplicity. The fresh, modern and functional kitchen has stone benchtops, Bosch stainless steel appliances, and plenty of storage and space to entertain. The kitchen window is framed perfectly to take in the views of the rolling hills and scattered gums.

As you walk into the living room extension, high ceilings and expansive views make the room feel bright and open – this is the current owners favourite design feature. The space is flooded with natural light and features polished concrete flooring and a freestanding combustion wood fire.

The double garage is currently being used as a rumpus room and exercise space, but can easily be converted back to its original purpose. There is a carport at the rear of the property and a barn style shed close by (with concrete flooring) that can also be used for vehicle storage.

Outside is where the fun begins. The large dam located at the bottom of the rolling hill, has a purpose built undercover pavilion, perfect for Sunday breakfasts by the water. There is also a kid’s corner that includes a cubby house and built in swing set with a nearby chook house and dog enclosure. The property has been allocated a 2 megalitre water right.

Edged pathways meander through the various aspects of the garden. A feature of the landscaping layout is the enclosed vegie garden that has been positioned to be exposed to natural sunlight all day long.

Only 13km to Bendigo, this is a retreat where you can immerse yourself in nature and enjoy the landscape, while experiencing all the comforts of home, and in complete privacy. Embrace the calm and comfort of country life.
