47 Melbourne Road

From the moment of arrival, there's a true sense of relaxation. Truly unique in its surroundings, serenity and charm, and led by an imposing and established Cyprus-lined driveway, this four-bedroom plus study homestead on a stunning 2.51ha/6.20 acres* is the essence of rural bliss. Automated cast iron gates make a striking prelude, leading down the flowing driveway to a grand single-level residence that connects the indoors with the natural beauty beyond. Sandstone floors provide a sleek and timeless foundation, perfectly complementing the home's classic country aesthetic, introduced by multiple living areas designed for connection. Formal living and dining sit centrally with a traditional bay window, continuing to the northern family domain, where a well-appointed kitchen and butler's pantry are hosted with style, with stainless steel appliances and solid Tasmanian Myrtle storage. Sliding doors extend to the wrap-around verandah, offering the perfect spot for reprieve bolstered by the all-day sun for long afternoons with friends and the scent of rain in the mornings for a quiet coffee before the feed run. And when you need to step it up with a full entertainment experience, a covered walkway reveals a fabulous outdoor living area with floor-to-ceiling windows and polished concrete floors, housing a wood-fired pizza oven, BBQ and a full kitchen with a dishwasher and bar fridge. Every morning begins with breathtaking sunrises that draw in golden light across the substantial main suite, featuring walk-in robes and a dual vanity ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms have built-in robes and share a large main bathroom, a rumpus room for the kids, and a farmhouse-sized laundry room. Comfort is assured with the inviting warmth of a wood fire and slow combustion heater on cooler evenings, whilst outdoors, the lifestyle continues with four fenced paddocks, an animal shelter, a chook run/enclosure and functional gardens, including an established orchard and raised vegetable beds. The enormous 14m x 11.5m* shed with mezzanine (4.5m x 4.9m*) only adds appeal, with an additional bay (14m x 3.5m*), with openings at both ends, great for caravan, vehicle or machinery parking. More than a home, it's a sanctuary of peace and privacy, where the beauty of rural life meets the refinement of modern design, minutes from the heart of town and approximately 45 minutes from Melbourne's CBD, complete with town water connections, 4kw solar system, double glazed cedar-framed windows, and a complete home filtration system. *Dimensions are approximate.
