10 Skardons Road, Cottles Bridge VIC 3099

Light Filled Passive Solar Design


Setting out with a desire to create a low maintenance, contemporary, eco friendly home, where the stunning views of tree tops, pastures and rolling hills and natural landscape take priority, it's fair to say the owners of this wonderful home on 12 peaceful acres (approx) have achieved their goal.

Designed around passive solar principles, they have delivered a home that is supremely efficient and cost effective without compromising on livability, space, style and subtle sophistication.

Large overhangs and double glazed windows reduce summer heat and trap winter warmth in interior spaces designed to feature a minimum of internal doors but still enjoy perfect privacy.

Spacious living, wired for sound and anchored by a Cheminees Philippe wood fire, three bedrooms including main with an ensuite showcasing a pared back Japanese influence, deluxe family bathroom, a fitted open study and a stunning stone kitchen with dual Bosch ovens are perfectly complemented by a choice of outdoor areas. With one offering views across the hills and the other part of a private central courtyard introducing a contemporary take on a classic cottage garden, it will be impossible to find a favorite pocket to enjoy!

Adding to the desirability and introducing further flexibility is a studio complete with store-room and bathroom. Light filled and spacious, it's the perfect retreat for an artist, musician, writer, or ideal for guests.

With and R6 thermal energy rating, ducted cooling, Hydronic floor heating, insulated internal walls, dam fed irrigation system, water tanks totaling 72 500 litres, double bay carport plus large storeroom/workshop heading a mix of practical, sought after extras an outstanding lifestyle awaits!
