150 McLennan Road, Heathcote, Vic 3523

Set on approximately 15.1 acres of undulating countryside, this contemporary four-bedroom home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, thoughtful design and picturesque country living.

Positioned proudly on the rise, the home captures sweeping views across the rolling countryside and overlooks your own established vineyard. Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the home features a striking central rammed earth wall that provides natural thermal mass, helping regulate indoor temperatures throughout the seasons.

At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan living area filled with natural light, incorporating a well-appointed kitchen with a large preparation area, stone benchtops, quality Italian appliances including a 900mm stove, rangehood and dishwasher, plus additional feature joinery ideal as a home bar or coffee station. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the meals area with a raked ceiling, handcrafted cedar door, reverse-cycle split system, rammed earth wall and two glass sliding doors opening to stunning views across the countryside, vineyard and dams. At the opposite end, the cosy lounge features a large wood heater, rammed earth wall, handcrafted cedar door, ducted heat transfer system servicing the bedrooms, and glass sliding door access to the outdoors.

Off the lounge, the generous master suite includes a large ensuite, built-in robes and direct access to its own private outdoor area, creating the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. There are three additional bedrooms, two with built-in robes, including one with direct access to the family bathroom, making it an ideal guest room. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a study but could easily be a fourth bedroom. Completing the interior is a central hallway with a European laundry on one side and a linen press on the other.

Outside is just as impressive, with multiple outdoor living areas. There are two separate north-facing undercover decked entertaining areas with a ceiling fan, along with a third paved and decked entertaining area featuring an arbour covered by a grapevine, providing a beautiful seasonal canopy. Each of these outdoor spaces is the perfect place to sit back, relax with a glass of wine from your own vineyard, and enjoy the spectacular sunsets.
A unique feature of the property is the triple garage complemented by a self-contained studio with its own bathroom. This versatile space is ideal for multi-generational living, whether for a teenager, ageing parent, guest accommodation, a fifth bedroom, Airbnb or an inspiring creative studio.

The 15.1 acres have been thoughtfully established with self-sufficiency in mind, featuring a vineyard planted with Shiraz, Cabernet and Chardonnay grapes, raised vegetable gardens, a plantation of native gums to be used at your convenience, and an orchard with quince, fig, pomegranate, almond, plum and olive trees.

The home is serviced by three 20,000-litre rainwater tanks, mains power supported by a 10-panel solar system, bottled gas and a septic treatment plant. A comprehensive irrigation system is supplied by two additional 14,000-litre tanks, filled from one of the property's two large dams, both with excellent catchment. The irrigation system services the vineyard, lawns and established gardens surrounding the home.

Combining space, functionality and an idyllic rural setting, this exceptional property presents an outstanding lifestyle opportunity.
