Nestled in the heart of the Yarra Valley, this bespoke award winning home has all the features you need plus the potential to lease out the land and infrastructure for a passive income or continue to continue the long established strawberry growing enterprise on this outstanding 25 acre holding.
Set in a quiet landscaped garden setting, this luxury home has three bedrooms, a beautiful studio/fourth bedroom and two bathrooms plus a separate two-bedroom studio or office. The main living area of the home uses recycled timbers and bluestone to their full advantage, with Messmate ceilings and floors from floor joists of Sydney woolsheds, Oregon rafters from the same woolsheds, Ironbark posts from the South Melbourne cricket ground, handmade Oregon window frames and Blackbutt wall panelling.
Within the timbered living room is the heart of the home with the Housing Industry Association "best renovated kitchen" (2020). This cook's paradise contains a 750mm ILVE oven, a 750mm ILVE steam over, Franke gas and induction hob, Sirius 880mm downdraft rangehood located in the large island bench and a Ziptap with filtered, sparkling and boiling water while Caesar Stone benchtops adorn the modern cabinetry.
Complimenting the awarded kitchen is the stunning indoor/outdoor entertaining area with timber decking, stainless steel barbeque, cook top and feature rock bar, which connects the home to the studio and provides a spectacular entrance to the home.
Get lost in the landscaped garden with Castella Quarry rocks, pathways and landings, with trees and plants that only 20 years of passion and hard work can create.
And then there is the land! 10.43 hectares (25 acres or thereabouts) of red and brown mountain soils, almost good enough to eat, rolling down to Ferndale Creek where a large irrigation dam (with 37 megalitre annual irrigation licence) sits nestled in the bush, waiting for family picnics or romantic afternoons.
Cherished for market gardening and most recently used for strawberry production, the property would be suitable for many pursuits - let your imagination run wild.
The current owners have long term lease agreements for adjoining land and irrigation water which can continue for a new owner. Overall, potentially there is over 40 acres of absolute premium soil which can be cropped or as an alternative be leased out with the land, packing shed and cool room facilities to local farmers for a significant passive income...
The home can be easily isolated and retained for the magnificent opulent lifestyle that it offers...
