Every so often a property comes along that feels truly one of a kind, a place where craftsmanship, character and lifestyle meet in perfect harmony. This unique split-level bluestone residence, set on 20 acres, is one such find. Romantic in style yet entirely practical for everyday living, it offers the kind of charm that simply cannot be replicated.
Stepping inside, the bluestone is showcased throughout the home, creating a timeless warmth and sense of permanence. The floorplan comprises three bedrooms, including a generously proportioned master suite with room for a study nook or retreat. The large central bathroom has been fully renovated, combining modern comfort with the home’s rustic elegance.
At the heart of the home lies the combined kitchen, dining and living space, crowned by high ceilings and anchored by a welcoming wood fire. The Blackwood kitchen features a slow-combustion stove with waterjacket cleverly connected to the hot water system, blending old-world charm with practical design. From here, a large pantry and wine store, cleverly built into the hill itself, ensures excellent thermal control and is a rare and enviable feature.
Adding to the lifestyle appeal is a wonderful undercover entertaining area, perfect for family BBQs, long lunches or simply curling up with a book while overlooking the peaceful surrounds.
The property is not only beautiful but also highly self-sufficient. Water security is assured with a large dam and extensive supplies totalling approximately 50,000 gallons (190,000 litres). Sprinkler systems and well-planned infrastructure make caring for the gardens and grounds straightforward, while the fully enclosed vegetable garden and productive orchard thrive with walnuts, almonds, plums, apples and a variety of citrus.
Outbuildings are equally impressive. A substantial garage and workshop of around 8m x 12m easily accommodates multiple vehicles and offers excellent mezzanine storage. Additional wood and storage sheds are scattered across the property, and the expansive, well-constructed chook run is one of the most impressive you are likely to see.
The location only adds to the appeal. Private and secluded, the property is set well back from the main road, offering peace and privacy without isolation. From here, Mansfield is an easy 35 minute drive, while Alexandra is just 25 minutes away, placing you in the heart of the High Country with ease of access in both directions.
Whether you dream of a romantic full-time residence, a peaceful weekender or a unique holiday rental that will captivate guests, this enchanting bluestone sanctuary is a rare opportunity to secure a slice of country living with genuine soul.
