A verdant oasis in the heart of horse country on approximately 2.5 lush acres (approx), this paradisal 3-bedroom plus study residence perfectly melds the ideals of leisure, pleasure and vocation amongst exquisite rural tranquillity. Immersed in natural verdure and an idealised countrified aura, this enchanting estate inspires with its timeless elegance, post-and-rail paddocks, equestrian amenities and excellent underpinnings - ideal for recreational farmers and home businesses. Introduced by a tree-lined asphalt drive with automatic gate entry and full-fenced surrounds that remain private from the street, the stunning residence unveils a versatile floorplan with new carpets and up to four bedrooms, including a gorgeous master with a walk-in robe and ensuite. Bay-windowed formal living and dining is matched wholeheartedly by a casual family and meals domain at the rear, warmed by a wood heater and served by a stunning stone kitchen with premier appliances. Breathtaking beyond glass sliding doors, the immediately surrounding gardens of the home evoke a true sense of calm, marrying established shrubbery, florals and ground covers to the magnificent shade provided by a stunning Ash tree overhead. Relaxed alfresco entertaining provides the space for events on a lavish scale, helped by an adjacent studio/bungalow complete with a bar. Three post-and-rail paddocks with automated troughs are matched by a 41.0 x 25.0m dressage arena and a day yard, supported by machinery and hay sheds, an 8.0 x 8.5m workshop, converted stables/tack room (home office), and an extensive storage facility. A brief one-hour drive from Melbourne, this magnificent property comes complete with a 5kw solar system, split-system AC, a double remote garage, covered boat/caravan/float parking for two, and separate chook and dog runs.
