Elegant and energy conscious Glen Loddon home set on a sprawling 2640m sized property. Hear the birdsong in this peaceful retreat!

This 4 bedroom home with two living spaces exudes quality from the moment you step in the front door. The grand entrance way is spacious and creates a sense of luxury and an expectation of a beautiful home to follow. The ceilings are high and square set – a sign of quality craftmanship.

The kitchen is attractive and spacious with glass display cabinet, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher and five burner gas cooktop. An abundance of cupboards and walk in pantry provide ample space for storage.
Storage is a feature of this home. In addition to a linen press and a coat cupboard, there are also three sets of triple door cupboards.

The master bedroom suite has a beautiful, garden outlook and direct access to outside, opening up possibilities of air bnb accommodation. The ensuite with oversized shower is accessed via a walk-through dressing room.

The main living areas are open plan with dining and family room areas which then adjoin the lounge room. The lounge room can be closed off from the open plan with sliding doors to create a quiet, separate area.
Principles of sustainability have guided the design: Save money from the low energy bills with a solar feed in of 60c per kwh. The north/north easterly orientation allows full winter sunshine to stream into the living areas and the master suite. The clever design of wide eaves and a verandah on the northern and western side of the house means the house is cool all summer. There is also a radiant woodfire heater, ducted gas heating and evaporative cooling and ceiling fans in every room.

Outside there is an alfresco verandah area with ceiling fan. The garden and property have been landscaped with pavers, garden beds, winding paths and natives and conifers for low water needs. There are also six raised vegetable beds with plantings of 100 garlic cloves, broccoli, cabbage, peas, broadbeans, carrots, beetroot, spinach, lettuce, onions, leeks and an abundance of herbs and a chicken coop. Come springtime – you will not need to go to the greengrocers! Fruit trees include: lemon, mulberry, pomegranate, olives and several varieties of plums. There is a watertank for garden upkeep and a grey-water system that waters the lawn.

The property has multiple entry points for larger vehicles or caravan storage. There is also a double garage with workshop.
