Overview
Set on approximately half an acre in a serene and picturesque area of Mount Macedon, this architect-designed cedar retreat combines natural beauty with thoughtful modern living. The Western Red Cedar construction provides both warmth and character, harmoniously melding with the property's established trees and vibrant cottage garden that create a peaceful and private oasis.
The interior is bright and inviting, centered around an updated kitchen featuring a six burner gas cooktop, electric oven, and dishwasher that supports practical and stylish culinary experiences. A distinctive living room boasts a cosy wood fire framed by brickwork, complemented by soaring timber ceilings and an upstairs gallery overlooking the space. Double glazing throughout ensures year-round comfort, maintaining warmth in colder months and coolness in the summer.
Extending the living space outdoors, two generous decks capture different aspects of natural light—the north-facing deck is ideal for leisurely lunches and afternoon relaxation, while the east-facing deck welcomes the morning sun, perfect for tranquil coffee moments amidst mature trees. Both decks employ retractable electric awnings to maximize comfort across seasons.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two levels, with three bedrooms designed to capitalize on garden views and a separate study offering a flexible space for work or additional sleeping quarters. The two updated bathrooms downstairs include a functional laundry combination, while an additional powder room upstairs adds versatility.
The gardens, influenced by Stephen Ryan’s iconic cottage garden style, are a standout feature, providing year-round color, texture, and seasonal interest. Meandering paths and secluded seating areas encourage enjoyment of the outdoors, enhanced by a quaint chook house and the practicality of tank water irrigation to maintain lush plantings.
A double garage/shed offers ample storage and workshop possibilities or secure parking, rounding out the practicality of this inviting rural residence. Positioned just moments from renowned local walking tracks, cafes, and wineries, this distinctive home suits those seeking a tranquil lifestyle immersed in nature without sacrificing modern convenience.
