39 Burke Street, Baringhup VIC 3463

In a quiet village setting just 12km from historic Maldon, this bespoke steel-clad home sits with quiet confidence on a level half-acre allotment, its design marrying rural practicality with contemporary flair.

Inside, light and space are the prevailing themes. Polished timber floors run beneath soaring raked metal ceilings, while expansive windows frame the gardens and flood the interiors with natural light. A Norwegian wood fire provides a sculptural centrepiece to the open-plan living area, balanced by reverse-cycle air and double-glazing for year-round comfort.

The kitchen has been designed as both a workspace and social hub, with stone benches, gas cooking, and stainless-steel appliances. Sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, opening to a wide decked verandah complete with external awnings—an all-seasons stage for entertaining or quiet retreat.

Accommodation includes three serene bedrooms, each with thoughtful storage. The main suite offers a walk-in robe, ensuite with pedestal vanity, and its own climate control, while the family bathroom introduces a corner bath and separate shower for relaxed daily living.

Sustainability has been built into the fabric of the property: a 4.8kW solar system, solar-electric hot water, and an impressive 100,000L of rainwater storage underscore the home’s commitment to energy efficiency. A carport, workshop, and established low-maintenance gardens extend the functionality of the site.

From here, village life unfolds with ease—moments from the local general store, lake, and river—while Maldon’s history, cafés, and culture are only a short drive away. This is modern country living, considered and enduring.
