It's only natural to want the best for your family, and this beautiful mudbrick retreat set on over 8 undulating acres certainly delivers! The inspired architecture showcases vast floor to ceiling windows, and exposed reclaimed timbers from the Lara woolshed, which combines with brick floors for a bold earthy look. The breathtaking views of surrounding countryside are pretty special too! The expansive and well-zoned floor plan features a sunken formal lounge with striking brick fireplace and adjoining dining hall, spacious meals/family zone with clerestory windows, pool/garden views and solid timber kitchen with quality stainless steel appliances (induction cooktop), walk-in pantry, and ample bench space. The private master bedroom provides a welcome escape, featuring walk-in robe and curvaceous luxury ensuite. The 3 additional bedrooms share 2 immaculate bathrooms, while a good-sized study and functional laundry complete the picture. Countless external doors ensure effortless indoor/outdoor flow from every part of the home, with extensive verandas linking the house and garden. A floodlit tennis court enjoys its own clubrooms, all overlooked by the sparkling solar heated swimming pool and paved alfresco entertaining area. Rolling lawns and parklike gardens create an idyllic backdrop, with a paddock, 1 dam, large machinery shed (3-phase power) and several outbuildings providing scope for stock or equestrian pursuits. Quality extras include hydronic floor heating, garden irrigation, huge carport for 4+ cars, and long circular driveway with ample off-street parking. Minutes from Eltham College and other local schools, you'll enjoy easy access to the Eltham/Warrandyte bus service, local shops, train station and much more. This quietly sophisticated and relaxing family home is simply a must-see.
