Located within one of North East Victoria's hidden gems of Stanley, is this custom built, 6-star energy rated home on just over two acres. This uniquely designed and crafted home features two bedrooms, each with their own full ensuites, large open plan living dining and kitchen, along with a north facing timber deck with outdoor dining and entertaining area. From the moment you walk in, it is hard not to be impressed by the kitchen with its stunning English Oak cabinetry, smart storage options and electric induction cooktop. The adjoining living and dining area flows seamlessly out to the deck and outdoor living area via large double glazed sliding doors that includes internal roller blinds along with external remote control blinds. This home could never be considered cold. It includes a beautiful wood combustion heater incorporating hydronic heating registers throughout. For quick and instant warmth, plus the convenience of cooling on a warm day, there is a large centrally located split system unit. Your hot water service is versatile and integrates evacuated tube solar heating and an instantaneous gas back up unit. Outside there is an impressive, irrigated established vineyard of Pinot Noir and Riesling, planted in 2002, that has been a consistent producer of excellent cool climate wines. A 12m x 8m insulated ColorBond shed, with power and concrete floor, will keep all your equipment safe and dry. Water is not an issue with a reliable bore and two 22,500 litre tanks for rainwater storage. Hidden extras of the property include DuraGal steel stumps bearers and joists, 60mm underfloor insulation, and double wrap external insulation. With such a picturesque landscape to explore so close to the Victorian snow fields, and within easy access to Beechworth, Wangaratta, Albury-Wodonga and gourmet food and wine regions, this is the idyllic escape to the country.
