About this property

Architecturally designed with a focus on solar passive principles and sustainable living, this exceptional craftsman-built home exemplifies quality, comfort, and energy efficiency. Set on a rising 16-acre parcel of land, featuring a blend of cleared fertile land and natural bush, this contemporary gem boasts four spacious bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms, while being framed by stunning northerly aspects and an outlook in every direction. The residence features a thoughtful combination of materials, including polished concrete floors, stainless steel, recycled timber, local stone, and rendered double brick, with a striking choice of finishes throughout. The impressive entrance leads you to a grand double-door foyer and formal reception area, before transitioning into the expansive open-plan living space that is bathed in natural light and winter sunshine. A chef's kitchen, equipped with Miele and Smeg appliances, offers abundant bench space, storage, and a walk in pantry. The central dual-sided slow combustion fireplace elegantly separates the dining and lounge areas, high ceilings and large glass windows create a bright & airy atmosphere whilst this space effortlessly connects with your undercover outdoor entertaining space. The master suite offers a breathtaking outlook, a generous fully fitted walk-through robe, and an ensuite with Italian limestone tiles, a freestanding Apaiser bathtub, and a spacious walk-in shower. Three additional Queen-sized bedrooms, premium fixtures, double-glazed windows and pure wool carpets, further elevate this home's appeal. Sustainability is at the forefront, with its Northern orientation, rooftop solar panels feeding back in to the grid, evacuated tube solar hot water, and zoned hydronic floor heating throughout the home. Storage is in abundance inside and out, with the large double garage & above-ground cellar, huge storage and machinery sheds with ample workshop space, your own built-in cool room, and open bays for more wood storage, van or carports, or anything else that needs undercover protection. There is also a deep bore, 4 rainwater tanks with 110,000 litre combined capacity, fenced vegetable garden, a variety of fruit and nut trees, including citrus, pears, walnuts and chestnuts, dwarf orchard, fenced secure paddocks for stock or pets, fully landscaped grounds featuring more stunning local stonework, and all sitting just across the road from the Ovens River.
