?Lempaala? - A gently undulating property bounded by a creek bed and perfectly positioned to the South side of Great Dividing Range. Just 13 minutes to Ballarat, 5 minutes to Creswick and 5 minutes to the Western Freeway, this 16 acre property offers commuting simplicity if travelling to Melbourne or beyond.
The two storey home has been extensively renovated to offer all the style and luxury one could ask for when residing in the country. Tilt-turn double glazed German windows throughout, three point weather lock doors, micro-venetians with acrylic panel protection on all doors and windows plus R6.0 insulation in roof and R4.5 in walls. Completely protected against the elements, this durable home is easily warmed by underfloor electric heating in every room (including bathrooms and laundry), a slow combustion wood fire downstairs plus four reverse cycle air conditioners (two upstairs, two centrally downstairs). Décor features include: dark timber colour floating timber floors in the bedrooms and study, large slate-like ceramic tiles in lounge, dining and kitchen and crisp white trims with picture rails in all the rooms.
The heart of the home is the large versatile contemporary kitchen which has a custom built central island bench with castors for moving when large open space is required. Stone bench tops on all the work surfaces create a classy edge when preparing meals or snacks. The master bedroom upstairs has stunning 270 degree views, a separate study, and an upstairs bathroom. Downstairs are a formal lounge, three bedrooms (one a guest bedroom), the kitchen, and two bathrooms (one off the guest bedroom). All the bedrooms have built in robes.
Sweeping verandas wrap perfectly around all sides of the home, with a 7 x 7m enclosed undercover deck with clear weather blinds and access doors. The verandas and deck offer the ideal space to entertain indoors/outdoors. A balcony off the master bedroom creates an idyllic place with a view to sit on those warm summer evenings.
Well covered during the seasons, this home offers 20,000gal of rainwater, a dam, and a bore. A remote-start fire-fighting system has eight hours run time, and recirculates fire water. A remote fire detection and security monitoring system provides a continuous web-based live view. The massive fire pump sits on 'pump island' (flood proof).
Further external upgrades include: toolshed, extra large carport, air-conditioned and plumbed studio, a double stable, undercover round yard, a large lawn inside the house island fence, easy-care circular garden bed (sprinklers to lawn and drip irrigation to garden bed), a greywater recycling system, and a drip-irrigated orchard.
The 16 acres is fenced into 9 plumbed paddocks with functional stock yards and pony boxes. The entry is by a graceful driveway with automatic gates; there is also a veterinarian crush, huge triple stable with lock-up machinery and hay bays, and a truck loading bay off the turning circle. The fences are in good order, all external and driveway fences electrified.
All this, and more, comes with a house and farm manual ready for the incoming new owner. History of the property is available from its inception.
