The brick home features a solar-passive design to maximise its northern aspect. A Trombe wall acts as a thermal mass in the living areas, while all of the bedrooms and bathrooms feature a raked ceiling with north-facing highlight windows. Exposed Oregon beams and exposed brick walls add character to the interiors.
Both the open plan living zone and adjoining lounge flow onto the spacious yard for breezy indoor-outdoor living. Parents will appreciate that they can keep an eye on young ones playing as they relax under the shade of the ornamental grapevine. The updated kitchen will delight with stone waterfall benchtops, stone splashback, and stainless steel appliances (dishwasher and 900mm oven, gas hob, canopy rangehood). The breakfast bar is perfect for casual dining, while ample storage includes a built-in pantry.
Complete with an updated en suite and separate toilet, the Master Bedroom offers a private retreat for busy parents. Three additional bedrooms (one with built-in robes) are tucked away in a separate wing, while the updated bathroom and laundry complete the layout.
A slow combustion wood heater and split-system air conditioner provide additional comfort.
Outside, exquisite gardens create a wonderful sense of privacy while also zoning the secure grounds into functional areas. Home to a pond, plus a range of beautiful plants including a Queensland Bottle Tree and Silk Tree, every inch of the sprawling gardens will astound. Entertainers will be in their element with the spacious lawn leading to the fire pit and alfresco. Showcasing a pizza oven and direct access to the solar-heated swimming pool, the alfresco sets the scene many gatherings with loved ones.
Other features include an orchard, olive grove, 3KW of solar panels, 25 000L of rainwater storage, and an automated sprinkler system to the veggie garden and greenhouse. The four paddocks (three with troughs) will appeal to hobby farmers and horse enthusiasts alike.
The lock-up four-car garage and large garden shed complete the property, while the grounds offer plenty of room for additional vehicle storage.
Don’t miss this opportunity to embrace rural living on the gateway to the Bellarine Peninsula!
