Driving down the road to number 49 you’ll get a glimpse of her beauty on the hill top, before turning into the grand Willow lined driveway which takes you past the Olympic size horse menage, wash bays and around 15 acres of pasture, ideal for horses and cattle. But the true magnificence of this property is the residence herself. Only 3 years young, designed by the current owners to reflect their passion for the land, entertaining and a family life, the local builder has spared nothing in creating this desirable home. Quality finishes throughout and a floor plan which is so versatile, it will suit any family, and as much as it showcases luxury and style, she’s unpretentious and will make you feel at home immediately. The perfect arrangement of bedroom accommodation and living/entertaining spaces has been reflected here, where all the rooms benefit from the magical Westerly views through the glass of French doors. The gallery style hall way leads the way to the luxurious master suite, complete with a huge walk in wardrobe and a beautifully designed ensuite with a claw foot bath, a double vanity with marble bench-tops and Italian floor tiles. The other end of the home is where the other 2 bedrooms, main bathroom and storage room are located, with the home office closer to the living rooms. The inclusion of a feature open fire place in the formal lounge as well as a wood heater in the dining/family and kitchen area creates atmosphere no matter which room you’re in, but the kitchen…wow….. it’s certainly a chef’s dream to have a kitchen like this one. With the Ascot gas oven/cook-top positioned to overlook the views, dining and outdoor entertaining areas, and the addition of a huge butlers pantry and Granite bench tops, it’s this space in the home that will get your heart beating faster. The earthy tones of the Grey Iron Bark floors, the neutral color palette, the soaring 12 foot ceilings, zoned gas heating and refrigerated cooling, wrap around verandahs, feature bull nose roofing, double glazed windows, the romance of window seats in all of the bedrooms and the security of a monitored alarm system, gives just a hint of the quality features you can expect here. There’s also a large detached studio which would be ideal as a guest house or a private retreat for teens as they grow and need their own space, as well as a double carport, 3 water tanks and a large dam. A pure delight in the Yarra Valley.
