Nestled snugly in the lush green pastures of Labertouche on 20 gently undulating acres, this superb mud brick home will welcome you with open arms………and you’ll never want to leave!! ‘Brooklands’ was architecturally designed by the renowned ‘Alistair Knox’- the father of Mud brick homes, whose great belief was to blend houses into their environment and to ‘bring the outside in’ with walls of north facing glass- and lovingly built brick by brick by the current owners in 1982. Well before its time, with the parent’s wing at one end of the home and the children at the other, the home comprises of four bedrooms, (all with French doors that open out to the lovely wide sweeping return verandas) two bathrooms- one at either end, a country style kitchen with huge walk-in pantry which overlooks a family meals area with a superb double sided fire place that also faces the spacious formal lounge and dining room. Bathed in natural light through the celestial windows which are north facing and beautifully designed to capture the winter sun and keep the hot summer sun at bay, the home also has floor heating and air-conditioning to guarantee your comfort all year round. Surrounded by lovely established trees, velvety lawns and low maintenance gardens, it’s like your own private park. As an added bonus, there is a mud brick studio- perfect for artists or students/teen retreat and the shedding is ample with a three bay high clearance shed and two smaller sheds- there’s even a cubby for the kids. The land is ideal for horses or cattle with two dams and stunning views across the majestic Baw Baw ranges. Just five minutes from the Princes Hwy, approximately an hour from Melbourne and at the gateway to Gippsland, this delightful property must be inspected to fully appreciate the rustic charm and total tranquillity that is ‘Brooklands’!
