Garden retreat, within 45 minutes of the CBD.
Tastefully renovated, spacious two-bedroom home, plus separate garden studio/home office or 3rd bedroom, set amongst 1.4 acres of mature garden.
You will fall in love with this charming weatherboard home. From the expansive front deck watch the extensive bird life flitter through the established garden, encompassing native, exotic and rare plants. Cook up a storm in your brightly decorated new kitchen, featuring ample cupboard space, solid oak bench tops and contemporary details, all set within a light-filled open plan dining and living area. Both bedrooms are generous in size, with built-in wardrobes in one and enough space for a bed, library and desk in the other. The polished bluestone tiles, huge Japanese style bathtub and cedar ceiling in the spacious bathroom create an enticing, relaxing sanctuary. A covered alfresco area at the rear caters to all-weather entertaining, with a built-in pizza oven close at hand. Hardwood floors, splashes of colour, a wood fire heater and lead light windows give this original 1970s bungalow character and appeal, whilst the modern convenience of split system cooling/heating caters for ultimate comfort and convenience. The property is connected to town water, includes a large rainwater tank, and has a small pond housing a family of local wood ducks.
The added bonus of a fully separate, insulated, heated and air-conditioned studio/home office, or third bedroom, allows for establishing a space away from the main living area. This renovated studio is placed strategically in the garden, but not too far from the main building, so you can duck back for a quick cuppa to enjoy on your private studio deck. With light flowing from the double french doors and huge lead light window, an artist or someone working from home will delight in this element of the property.
Enjoy peaceful strolls through substantial landscaped gardens (designer's own garden) with an abundance of established fruit trees, productive vegetable garden and an extraordinary collection of native and exotic plants - collected, propagated and planted over 12 years. The evolving design has been based on permaculture and sustainability principles. Although spectacular in spring, autumn colours also transform the garden, and occasionally you may even experience romantic winter snow flurries. The lower garden's covered pavilion overlooks the billabong style pond - a perfect place for some yoga, a picnic or enjoying a good book. You will be surprised at just how many garden rooms there are to lose yourself in. In your tranquil, private and lush garden, you will feel a million miles from the rat-race, yet local schools, public transport, and the Macedon Ranges' beautiful villages are at your fingertips.
