65 Cootamundra Place, Junortoun VIC 3551

Take a deep breath – relax – you're home. Welcome to the peace and tranquillity of this immaculately maintained two-storey mud brick residence nestled on 2.246 hectares (approx 5 ½ acres) of bushland. Much-loved, this property has been home to the vendor for 23 years and, with its dam, is a haven for native flora and fauna.

The residence inspires a sense of wonder and adventure, from the intriguing angles of the timber ceilings to the cupboards tucked into eaves and under the staircase. Book lovers will revel in the plethora of reading nooks. Whether you're upstairs or downstairs there's a place to indulge in calm creative time. Space on the upper level could be dedicated as a children's play area. A 'secret' cupboard will spark their imaginations.

Extensive use of timber in kitchen, ceilings, and floorboards, integrated with mud bricks and slate, harmonises the home with its bush setting. The window-framed treescape feels like a natural extension of the dwelling.

But the slate floors and the thermally efficient mud brick walls are not present for their aesthetic appeal alone. They form an integral part of the home's passive solar design which ensures you will be comfortable all year round. Strategically placed vents draw the heat from the upper storey in hot weather. In winter, the wood heater pumps cosiness throughout the home, so you'll have no fear of frosty mornings. Solar panels put downward pressure on power bills while the town water connection leaves you free to soak in the bath.

Downstairs the oversized dining area/family room, adjacent to the spacious kitchen, is a sunny spot to enjoy your morning cuppa, however you may prefer to make a quiet retreat to the sitting room or library/study nook. The toilet adjoining the large laundry means there will be no need to rush upstairs.

The treetop-view upper storey comprises living spaces, central bathroom and 3 bedrooms. The master boasts a walk-through robe which leads to a roomy ensuite. The expansive 2nd bedroom, with its clever built-in storage, bookends this level of the home.

A paved entertaining area and double garage complete the residence.

This exceptional property is located only 15 minutes from the city centre, which means you can embrace the peace of a more natural lifestyle without sacrificing the convenience of an urban existence.
