Love is in the air at this magnificent bush retreat, where you'll discover a unique opportunity to own a slice of Australian bushland in the Macedon Ranges. Built to serve environmentally friendly values, this custom-built home rests on a sprawling 22 acre (approx.) allotment, offering seclusion and breathtaking views of the Cherokee/Riddells Creek valley and mountains. As you explore this oasis, you'll find love and attention to detail in every corner. The main home boasts three bedrooms, each with its own unique charm. The master bedroom, with double doors leading to the deck, features a walk-in robe and a fully tiled ensuite with a recessed frameless glass shower, offering the perfect spot to unwind. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are fitted with built-in robes, with one providing private deck access. The central bathroom includes a bath and shower. At it's heart, a spacious meals/living area is serviced by a beautiful open kitchen featuring solid timber benchtops, white cabinetry and drawers, oven/grill, induction cooktop, and a unique Esse Ironheart wood-fired combustion heater/cooking stove that's as much a conversation piece as a functional cooking addition. A well-designed butlers pantry offers ample storage and incorporates a European laundry. A covered alfresco space with exterior fans, a sink, and a BBQ area is the perfect setting for outdoor relaxation and entertainment. Additional features of this property include double glazing & high fire rating exterior cladding for the main house, a double carport, fire pit area, and reverse cycle heating & air conditioning. For those with a penchant for DIY or storage needs, a massive powered and concreted shed offers parking for multiple vehicles or use as a self-contained accommodation (STCA) boasting a bedroom and bathroom. You'll enjoy the peaceful privacy of this bush retreat with its abundant wildlife and serene surroundings. Bonus features include underground power, water tank with 45,000L capacity, full solar installation (only two-year-old) and quick access to Riddells Creek township. The property is located just 2.5 km from Gap Road in Cherokee, offering easy access to Melbourne, a mere 40-minute drive away. Please note – access to the property is via signed "No Road" segment of Sandy Creek Road.
