146-162 Ewings Road, Avenel VIC 3664

This Magnificent rammed earth warehouse has been converted and added to, to create an architecturally designed double storey home set on 2.3 ha (5.68ac).

The home is designed by Steve Hansen, blending the thermal mass and insulation of rammed earth and the low maintenance classic look of corrugated iron. The double storey home has three bedrooms plus a study nook, a quality kitchen with Belling Sterling 110cm double oven, Induction Range stove, stone feature fireplace with Clean Air wood heater and the convenience of a Mitsubishi G-inverter split system. The grapevine filters the sun through to the north facing living area in the summer and clears the way for the winter sun to heat in the cooler months. The second storey visitors area or getaway is also north facing with its own private balcony.

The enormous garage warehouse (130m2) is encapsulated within the home and was originally used as a wine storage/cellar door but now a insulated area for storage of that classic car, prized boat or even the caravan or an upmarket entertaining area.

The block is centrally located in Avenel with an ornamental lake feed by the Muddy Creek and an assortment of fruit trees and in particular an ancient lemon scented gum. The property is connected to all town services, electricity, sewerage and town water plus a windmill and electric bore water pump. Substantial shedding with 12m x 10 m workshop/garage/storage with shower and toilet included and power connected, a 10m x 7.5m open three bay machinery shed and the original farm pump shed with the unused irrigation pump and filter system.

A delightful property which oozes class and sophistication only available due to the current owner downsizing due to personal circumstances.
