MUST BE SOLD!!

Located on 12.5 hectares of undulating land, with superb bush and farmland views, this stunning residence is the product of a successful collaboration between renowned architect Robert Marshall and the owners, Suzanne Burke and the late Pat Power, union official and former member for Jika Jika.

The 50-square homestead, surrounded by deep verandahs, is built around a vast central courtyard. To one side of the imposing entrance doors is a studio with fully equipped kitchen, storeroom and bathroom; the verandah shelters a Smeg barbecue and pizza oven.

The L-shaped living and dining area has views across the courtyard, complete with pond and rock fountain. Soaring to double-storey height with clerestory windows, the main living room is a magnificent space; it opens to one side to an impressive dining zone, with a U-shaped kitchen at the northern end. This is a true gourmet kitchen, featuring large Smeg range and underbench ovens, stone benchtops and an island bench/breakfast area. A separate walk-in larder has an array of custom built storage spaces, including wine display shelves and a cheese pantry.

Three extremely spacious bedrooms, all with luxurious porcelain-tiled bathrooms and dressing rooms are well separated. One has been fitted as a study/bedroom, while the dressing room to the main is large enough be used as a separate home office. The laundry, with adjacent powder room, doubles as sewing room. Dual car garaging opens to the covered entry porch.

With a design that observes passive energy principles, the house features recycled spotted gum floorboards, and towering pillars which support the beam and truss ceilings of the living area. Some of the light fittings are custom made, others have been sourced from Euroluce. Two stainless steel Jetmaster heaters warm the living areas.

A mud brick guest cottage, 100 metres from the main house, has sweeping views. Other outbuildings include two substantial sheds.

Both homestead and cottage are surrounded by attractive native gardens, designed by Sam Cox Landscape; these are automatically irrigated by a combination of grey and bore water. There is abundant tank storage.

The acreage could be used to run cattle or horses, or for hobby cropping. Only 75 minutes from Melbourne, this remarkable lifestyle property is close to Yea, Flowerdale and the Yarra Valley wineries.
