Overview
Set on an expansive 65-acre rural estate just over an hour from Melbourne and mere minutes from Daylesford, this thoughtfully designed residence offers a harmonious blend of elegant French-inspired architecture and modern country functionality. Its location embraces the tranquility of gently rolling paddocks, framed by wide open skies and peaceful dams, creating a private and expansive rural sanctuary.
The residence, built in 2002 and meticulously maintained since 2017, prioritises comfort and energy efficiency through features like double glazing, superior European insulation, and a solid concrete slab foundation, ensuring year-round performance and comfort. Inside, polished timber flooring and bespoke solid timber window joinery add warmth and character to generous, light-filled spaces.
The heart of the home is a practical, well-appointed kitchen featuring stone benchtops, quality appliances including a Westinghouse oven and Miele dishwasher, and a walk-in pantry designed for convenience. This kitchen flows seamlessly into the main living area, where a striking French Cheminees Philippe fireplace provides an inviting focal point and cosy ambiance during cooler months, complemented by hydronic and ducted gas heating, ceiling fans, and expansive windows overlooking the gardens and land.
Versatility is enhanced by a secondary living space accessible via an enclosed loggia, ideal for use as a games room, studio, or study, offering a degree of separation while remaining connected to the main home.
Accommodation is designed with privacy and comfort in mind. The principal bedroom is generous in scale, featuring a large walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite that includes a bath and heated floors. Two additional bedrooms with built-in robes are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, also with underfloor heating and heated towel rails. A dedicated study with hardwired internet and Starlink connectivity supports an effective remote working environment.
Outdoor living is enhanced by a retractable-roof alfresco area with a west-facing awning, ideal for adapting to changing weather conditions and extending the living space into the landscape. Nearby, the air-conditioned wine cellar provides optimal storage for enthusiasts.
