Tucked away at the end of a no-through road, this extraordinary 6 acre retreat delivers an increasingly rare opportunity to experience the peace and privacy of a truly idyllic lifestyle and all the benefits of rural life without the work that comes with a farm.
A short walk from the Yarra River and bordering land held by Parks Victoria that provides refuge for local wildlife, this immense parcel introduces a European drought-tolerant, low-maintenance planting that deliver a backdrop of green with seasonal pops of colour throughout the entire year.
Complemented by veggie beds, a citrus grove and fruit trees, and introducing a dam with a small jetty, ideal for quiet contemplation against a melody of frog voices and the sound of native birds, the garden is as bountiful as it is beautiful.
The warm and welcoming solid timber kitchen introduces a contemporary oven and cooktop, complementing it with Rayburn wood fire dual-oven cooker (converted to run on gas) to take pride of place in the expansive open plan living meals. Finished with hardwood timber floors, it opens to a decked alfresco above the gardens that allow you and your guests to enjoy outdoor entertaining while fully immersing yourself in the breathtaking beauty of their surroundings.
Partnering with this vast free-flowing indoor-outdoor precinct is a generous second living space. Anchored by an open fireplace in an impressive feature wall, it shares the level with a main bedroom, introducing a wall of built-in robes and an ensuite.
A floor of reclaimed reds enhances the open spaces of a ground floor rumpus that opens to two generous bedrooms served by the family bathroom, creating a haven for teens.
Separate to the house is a spacious light-filled studio, ideal for the artist in residence; it would also suit those continuing to embrace working from home and looking to keep their work life and home life apart.
Bagged and painted for easy care, further extras include a dedicated wine cellar with tasting area, perimeter fencing, split system climate control, woodfire heating, shedding, chook run, double carport, and fitted laundry.
Country quiet yet city close, the heart of Eltham, including the train to the CBD, is within an easy 10-minute drive, so you are not sacrificing lifestyle for location!
