The first thing you will be in awe of are the amazing vistas that this property encompasses. Looking through the floor to ceiling windows you can take in your 23 acres, (approx.) the undulating rolling hills to the North, and follow it right to the blue waters of Bass Strait. Out to the West are bushlands with hills and mountains in the distance. With its North facing aspect, efficient design and double glazed windows, the home is warm in winter when the sun is low and cool in summer when the sun is high in the sky. The expansive open plan living area is fresh and modern with the feature of a wood heating system imported from Canada. This heat bank encompasses an efficient burning wood fire, bread and pizza oven and slow heat release interior brick. Alternative heating and cooling is supplied by ducted reverse cycle air conditioner system. The building itself has been engineered to the highest standards. Sitting on a solid concrete slab it has features of exposed timber beams that were originally sourced from the property itself. The home is fully insulated with high efficiency having been designed to maximise natural heat.
The kitchen is amazing, Ceaser Stone island bench top, timber bench tops, butler's pantry, Belling Oven with induction cooktop, pot filler and double sink. Off the living areas and through bi-fold doors is the ultimate cosy entertainment area. The North facing and tiled deck area includes power and water and amazing views. While the current owner uses the upstairs area for a retreat for guests it would make the perfect master suite with robe, en-suite and private deck. The deck was designed with a sauna room which could also make the perfect spa room overlooking your acreage, rolling hills and ocean view. The second bedroom on the first level also has its own en-suite and walk in robe with access between the robe and en-suite as well. There are two other large bedrooms, both with large robes and study nooks. At the Western end of the home is a rumpus room or fifth bedroom and there is a double garage or workshop area with internal access to the home. Other features include a large 320 litre heat pump hot water cylinder, fresh filtered rainwater system, huge custom made timber feature door in the wide hallway, hidden built-in internet and networking, underground power, and refrigerator included. The land can be agisted to the neighbour or would make a great orchard or vineyard or to raise some beef, sheep or goats.
