Nestled within the foothills of the Macedon Ranges, this timeless 3-bedroom mid-century residence merges classic family functionality with an enviable picturesque setting over 133 acres (approx), forming a beautiful retreat amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, majestic gum trees and sweeping mountain views.
Enchanting with its country aesthetics and glorious natural light, the home's deceptive layout offers several places to unwind and entertain, with two large living zones, each extending to naturally shaded alfresco areas. Warm up by the Cheminées Philippe wood-burning fireplace, cook up a storm in the central kitchen, or retreat to one of three spacious bedrooms. Endearing mid-century character forms the perfect base for a contemporary upgrade, whilst every modern requirement is here for instant liveability, including a home office, two bathrooms, a powder room, laundry and ample storage.
Outside, relish the natural beauty of your surroundings, with an array of established magnolias, rhododendrons, maples and magnificent Japanese elms, offering exquisite canopies to sit under during summer. Further along, a separate one-bedroom cottage (c1960), the first dwelling on the property, offers an independent artist's retreat or guest house - perfect for added income if desired.
A spectacular forest spans approximately 40 acres of the property, featuring some hidden centuries-old eucalyptus trees, uniting Bolinda creek and Tunnel creek on the forest's edge. A playground for native flora and fauna, and home to families of Black Cockatoo, Koala, Echidna and Wombat, to name a few, this magical property invites a well-lived life, 10-minutes to both Woodend and Romsey townships, and just over an hour from Melbourne's CBD.
