Perched at the highest point in Invermay, this rare 5.6-acre lifestyle property, "Amaroo," offers an exceptional combination of tranquility, privacy, and breathtaking natural beauty. Surrounded by native birds and wildlife, every window captures a different postcard-worthy view from Ballarat to the south, the Pyrenees to the west, and the majestic peaks of Mount Warrenheip and Buninyong. Despite its serene setting, the property is just 10km from Ballarat and a short drive to Creswick, offering the perfect balance of peaceful rural living and urban convenience. Originally built in 1988 by Russell Bray of Stonehenge Homes - this homestead-style residence of solid brick and Mt Gambier sandstone exudes timeless quality. With just five owners in its history, "Amaroo" is a truly rare find. The home showcases exceptional quality and craftsmanship, complemented by classic wrap-around verandas that naturally cool the home in summer and add timeless country character. Multiple living zones, including formal lounge, dining, and family rooms, offer versatility for both quiet nights in and lively entertaining, all designed to make the most of natural light and views. The kitchen is a chefs dream with extensive granite benchtops and quality cabinetry that creates a stylish, functional space for cooking and entertaining, perfectly positioned as the heart of the home. Modern comforts and efficiency include ducted gas heating, a cosy wood fire and reverse-cycle heating powered by a 27-panel (approx. 9kW) solar system to keep the home warm in winter and energy-efficient year-round. Four spacious bedrooms include a serene master retreat with a walk-in robe and ensuite, providing privacy and comfort for families or guests. The dedicated home office has the flexibility of being another living space and overlooks the sparkling pool. You very own Oasis awaits with a solar-heated, self-cleaning inground pool and spa, paired with a well-equipped outdoor kitchen and paved entertaining spaces, creating the perfect venue for gatherings with family and friends. The land is thoughtfully fenced into paddocks, ideal for pets or hobby farming, and features a picturesque dam and impressive views over Ballarat. There is ample water and infrastructure with 120,000L of water storage across five tanks with a fire pump and sprinkler system, town water connection, a sealed driveway, generous car accommodation, and a 3m x 6m garden shed. The current owners love the rare combination of tranquility, privacy, and natural beauty, the daily visits from native birds, and the fact that they can explore nearby trails on foot or by bike straight from their front gate. "Amaroo" is more than a home-it's a lifestyle. Rarely do properties of this calibre, with such exceptional build quality, come to market. Just 10 minutes to Ballarat and Creswick, this is your chance to secure a one-of-a-kind residence in a truly breathtaking location.
