**INSPECTION FOR SAT 15TH JULY CANCELLED**

This rare lifestyle property finds perfect balance in all things. Far from the run of the mill and unique in every way, this stunning home and accompanying acreage provides you with the peace, quiet and sense of calm you have always desired.

Its striking two-storey exterior shuns conformity, while its thoughtful interior design allows for easy living. A recent renovation gives a modern, stylish feel while retaining the embracing warmth of the home’s original 1870s brick and timber materials. And its elevated position on six-and-a-half acres of native bushland exudes tranquillity, with the convenience of Strathfieldsaye’s shops, schools and sporting facilities just minutes away.

Sustainable living is at the heart of this home. You’ll minimise your environmental impact with a 6.6kw solar array, solar hot water service, 50,000 litre water tank capacity, and grey-water system for the garden.

Downstairs, natural light floods the stunning galley style kitchen and adjoining dining area. The original brick, timber, and stone fireplace with wood heater gives a cosy, chalet feel to the gorgeous living space. A stunning bathroom and good sized laundry complete the lower level floorplan, whilst underfloor heating is offered throughout.

Upstairs, you’ll sleep amongst the tree canopy as the three large bedrooms overlook surrounding forest. Each bedroom has a ceiling fan and split system unit for temperature comfort. Enjoy the spacious walk-in robe off the master bedroom and beautiful ensuite doubling as a convenient upstairs bathroom for the family.

When it comes to outdoor living you’re spoiled for choice. Two sandstone-paved alfresco areas give you year-round options for entertaining or to simply sit around a fire and enjoy your natural surrounds. The semi-detached workshop is ideal for the weekend warrior’s latest project, while plenty of adjacent flat space allows for expansion or new shed.
Walking and mountain bike tracks abound with the Greater Bendigo National Park at the end of your driveway giving you ample opportunities to explore. Meanwhile, kangaroos, kookaburras and echidnas will be frequent and welcome visitors to your home.

If you’re yearning for balance in your life, this property is a must. Unique and irreplaceable in the current environment of bushfire management overlays and permits to build in a similar setting, an inspection is a must to truly appreciate what a tranquil lifestyle you could live.
