172 Humphries Road, Mount Eliza VIC 3930

This 2682 sqm (2/3 acre approx.) family property features farmhouse traits at home within its barely-tamed Woodlands surrounds. An established orchard with pear, apricot, citrus, and fig complement vegetable gardens overseen from a sublime marble kitchen with quality cook’s appliances. Banquette seating takes advantage of the home’s naturally beguiling backdrop where the property’s boundary is limited only by the imagination. The open plan living is anchored by a wood fire whilst a family room is cosied on the lowest of three levels. Sprawling lawns spill out through French doors framed by the shade of ornamental grapes on warmer days. Blonde timbers underfoot balance an ever-green outlook and eco-credentials are well-established with reclaimed water used for gardens and waste as well as double-glazing improving heat retention from radiant and wood-fire heating. The master suite with walk-in robe and en suite is focused on treetops, a reminder of the home’s serene location, with three further bedrooms flanking a family bathroom. Plenty of work-from-home spaces, a mud room/store, laundry chute, undercover parking and more. Access outstanding schools as well as The Village and the pristine beaches of the peninsula from this joyful home where sustainable living is elementary.
