Set at the end of a long winding driveway that reveals more on more of the natural beauty of this 18 acre landholding this marvellous mudbrick home is perfectly sited to make the most of an exceptional, uninterrupted outlook across a mix of pasture and bush to the distant ranges. Designed on a brief for Robyn Bardas and implemented by renowned Eltham mud brick architect, Llewelyn Pritchard, has resulted in a spectacular home, the dimensions of which need to be seen to be appreciated.

Surrounded by vine-clad verandas which deliver summer shade, filter the winter light and make relaxing alfresco spaces perfectly complementing a gazebo, the highlight to the interior is a spectacular leadlight display. A bespoke piece of art from famed stained-glass artist Christopher-John Bingley, it is his interpretation of the Biblical Ark story, and will be an instant talking piece for visitors and will give you a smile every time you walk in the door!

Complementing three bedrooms, served by two bathrooms and a studio/home office that delivers workspaces against a backdrop of an everchanging outlook, the ground floor introduces two enormous living areas. Both make the seamless transition to the garden, with one integrating a striking granite finished kitchen where gloss finished cabinetry, and dual Siemens ovens are a highlight!

The first floor offers a main bedroom with ensuite and a private balcony, again with stunning views. It sits adjacent to a 5th bedroom, ideal as a retreat or even a nursery if desired.

Adding to the appeal of unique living in unique spaces is hand-made slumped glass panels, windows and doors, including the entrance porch created by local artist Rob Haley, zoned in-floor heating, split system units, all the economic and environmental benefits that 18 solar panels can bring, large workshop/machinery store, three dams (one with jetty), and terraced gardens.

Just a few minutes from the hotel, general store, primary school and renowned weekend market and an easy drive to Hurstbridge for the station, it sits at the fringe of the Yarra Valley’s and its wineries, restaurants and boutique providers.
