Privately positioned in one of the Macedon Ranges best-kept secret locations is this architecturally-enchanting 4 bedroom plus study light-filled home.

The home sits on 20 acres approx. consisting of about 5 acres of manicured lawns and gardens plus substantial natural bushland.

The immediate effect upon entering the home is the flood of light which envelops you as you take in the breathtaking views across the plains to Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay through the double-glazed mass of windows. Sliding doors lead straight out to the terrace and to the in-ground solar-heated pool with its expansive decking.

The central hub features attractive porcelain tiles, a Peter Connors-designed kitchen with Caesar stone island benches, 900 mm Ilve stove, dishwasher, WIP, bar fridge – all sitting beneath a vaulted ceiling and light well. This is a true chef’s-style cooking complex. Immediately adjoining is a marvellous sitting and dining area with views – the whole is heated by a Cheminees Phillipe fireplace and augmented by a split system air conditioner if and when required. This home is indeed designed for entertainment and for relaxation.

Cleverly and nearby, there is a further large sitting or formal dining room overlooking the terraced western garden. The mind turns to reading, conversations and/or musical soirees. It is a big space.

The home is logically designed with the master bedroom suite at the southern end comprising a light and bright bedroom, a WIR, updated ensuite, access to the under-cover car spaces plus a further bedroom or nursery within. At the other end of the home sit 3 family or guest bedrooms all with split systems, BIR’s and access to their own fully renovated bathroom complex.

Outside, a mod grass tennis court and its attendant gazebo provide scope for fun and games. There is a 6 m x 6 m storage shed with concrete flooring. Two water tanks hold 45,000 litres of water and are complemented by a bore and a large and attractive dam with its pump helping to reticulate 2 lines throughout the pretty gardens. There is a 5.6 kw solar system.

A major bonus is the 2 bedroom fully-self-contained Matilda Cottage which enjoys short stay accommodation status.

In short, this a property which is oh so rare! Spectacular views combine with quality and luxury living to tempt the fastidious buyer. Let that buyer be you…
