This unique artisan - built family home, proudly held by the same family since 1975, is a peaceful, picturesque haven nestled on approx. 33.4 acres (13ha) of bushland at the foot of the beautiful Black Ranges. With sweeping views over the majestic Grampians Mountain Range, this established property offers a rare opportunity.
With 45 squares of under roof living, this stately and solidly constructed home is a very spacious split-level besser block residence. Designed with a mid-century modern influence, it makes the most of the magnificent outlook and is an entertainer's dream.
The lower level comprises a generous kitchen with ample storage, solid timber cabinetry, and walk-in pantry. The adjacent open dining area features a built-in display cabinet, and is separated from the formal living room by a central free-standing open fireplace.
The upper level boasts a large parent retreat with ensuite and study, as well as four additional double sized bedrooms, all with built in robes, opening onto a huge open plan rumpus room with views. The upper level also contains a family bathroom, separate shower room, separate toilet, laundry and central storage areas.
Progressively designed for passive climate control with deep eaves and natural breezeways, the house offers year-round comfort. The two wood fires provide ambience and cosiness in winter, while a split system cooling/heating unit offers air conditioning.
All living areas flow seamlessly onto expansive wrap-around verandas through glass sliding doors, leading to outdoor entertaining areas at the front of the house, bordered by native garden beds and shaded by a magnificent yellow gum.
A 10x8m workshop with power, plus skillion and attached woodshed, a 3-bay undercover carport, as well as a 6kw solar panel system (16 panels in total), and water tanks with a capacity of 60,000 litres, enhance the property's functionality.
The property includes a granite hillside, four fenced paddocks, two dams, and a wealth of native flora and fauna, with wildflowers in spring. Located just 8 km from the township of Stawell, 11 km from Lake Fyans and 25 km from Halls Gap, this ideally situated home offers a self-sufficient and idyllic lifestyle with breathtaking views.
