Overview
Set on a vast 16-acre parcel of native bushland, this architect-designed country retreat offers a rare combination of lifestyle, privacy, and future development potential. Situated on the edge of Dunolly town, the property enjoys walking distance proximity to local schools and amenities while providing a serene haven surrounded by indigenous Grey and Yellow Box eucalypts.
The home itself is an exemplar of sustainable and thoughtful design, constructed with solar-passive principles that leverage double-glazed windows and tiled floors to create light-filled, comfortable living spaces. The open-plan layout integrates a fitted country kitchen featuring rich red gum benchtops, a gas cooktop, and stainless steel oven, seamlessly connecting to living and dining areas that open to the landscape.
The accommodation includes four bedrooms, with two of these offering direct decking access. The main suite is particularly generous, complete with a dressing room and ensuite, providing a private sanctuary within the home.
Beyond the primary residence, the property offers a separate studio containing two additional bedrooms and a dedicated office adjoining a double garage. Practical and versatile, there is also a substantial three-bay steel workshop equipped with a hoist and high clearance, catering to vehicle enthusiasts, hobbyists, or those needing workshop space.
Designed with sustainability front of mind, the property is connected to mains power and augmented by a 6kW solar system supported by a 9kW battery, a backup diesel generator, gas-boosted solar hot water, and approximately 30,000 gallons of rainwater storage. These features facilitate an eco-friendly lifestyle with significant energy independence.
The zoning as Rural Living allows for subdivision into smaller acreage allotments subject to council approval, presenting exceptional future potential for land development or investment.
