Nestled in the green hills of Darlimurla, set in landscaped gardens, just 10 minutes from the Mirboo North township, this much loved country home has been created with vision and creativity by the current owners.
The elevated 4 bedroom main home overlooks tall gums, rolling hills and meandering Bear Creek. Thoughtfully renovated four years ago, the impressive main house is perfectly designed for comfortable and stylish country living.
Walk through the main entrance into a spacious, high ceilinged, open plan living area, built in free flowing style around a central three sided French wood fire.
Golden timber floors gleam throughout the house and spectacular, double glazed picture windows capture sweeping rural or garden views in all directions.
The dining area will comfortably accommodate your largest dinner party in style, with high folding doors opening to a generous rear outdoor entertaining area.
While the cook is happily catered for with a designer kitchen, walk in pantry, Falcon dual fuel stove, and European appliances.
The clean lines of the formal lounge with its central wood fire are designed for relaxation, While the TV lounge offers a snug space for cosy nights at home in winter and easy access to the expansive covered front deck, perfect for laid back summer drinks parties.
Guests or family will enjoy the two large family bedrooms, off the main corridor and directly opposite the spotless family bathroom.
The far wing houses a spacious master bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe and a large 4th bedroom with a generous walk in robe or storage area.
Functional farm needs haven't been forgotten, with a comfortable modern office, large mudroom, washroom and 3rd toilet, all accessible from a separate entry at the rear of the house.
Heating and cooling are delivered efficiently, with wood from the property used in the Cheminess Phillipe wood fire in the living area and a state of the art, wood fired boiler, feeding the hydronic heating. An inverter system provides cooling and additional heating all year round.
The 6KW solar system and rainwater tanks holding 50,000 litres complete the household utilities.
In the yard, a large, modern, hard stand shed with power, provides plenty of room for any engineering or farm project, additional garaging for cars and farm equipment and could be easily adapted stabling for livestock.
Home food production is all in place, as the large farm garden features a fully fenced, combined fruit tree orchard and chicken run and extensive vegetable beds. All irrigated from the garden water tank with water drawn from the creek that runs through the property.
Horses or other livestock can be accommodated in paddocks with good quality fencing.
Situated well away from the main house, popular Zannies Cottage, a neat, self-contained 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom property with a wood heater is currently listed as a holiday rental with 5 stars on AirBnB. Zannies offers the new buyer an established income stream or overflow accommodation for big weekend gatherings.
The property is under 2 hours drive from Melbourne and conveniently situated within 10 minutes of the funky Mirboo North township.
A fast inspection is recommended as small acreage properties of this type are in very short supply in this area.
