House description
““Big Hill””
Located at the entrance to the Yarra Valley “Big Hill” named after the hill upon which it stands, is an extraordinary 12 acres. 35Kms N/E of Melbourne where Hamish Knox and Loretta Childs have created an inspirational property that will trigger anyone’s imagination. Along with panoramic 360 degree views, an oasis of home, studios and garden nestled above the township of Yarra Glen.
A truly unique main residence, large artists studio’s, garages, workshop and other buildings reflect the original Eltham/Knox style of mud brick, timber and corrugated iron construction. The buildings feature handcrafted recycled materials such as, large timber from Docklands, beautiful bay windows and rare maritime items woven into the buildings and gardens alike.
The main house provides a flexible floorplan being surrounded by covered verandah’s for outdoor living and entertaining, whilst taking in the expansive views of the valley and garden. The kitchen includes a magnificent AGA gas stove, butler’s pantry and rustic slate and adzed timber bench tops. Between the lounge/living area a double-sided fireplace sits upon a huge slab of granite providing heat and ambiance all winter long.
The melding together of buildings and landscape essentially is where the magic happens at “Big Hill”. Large basalt rocks, wharf timbers, nautical elements and garden plantings create a natural fusion becoming a whole. A natural rock swimming pool, ponds, wharf timber vegetable garden and huge terrace incapsulating the magnificent Yarra Valley views are all supported by a permanent 180 metre deep bore of pristine water suitable for both domestic and garden needs.
Hamish Knox is the son of Alistair Knox legendary builder/architect who pioneered the original Eltham mud brick and timber movement. “Big Hill” is the embodiment of the tradition of the Knox legacy.
