Occupying 1,408m 2 (approx.) in a premium Macedon setting, this beautifully considered home offers privacy, versatility and an immersive connection to nature. The tranquil sound of a freshwater fishpond and feature waterfall creates an immediate sense of calm on arrival, while Merbau decking with ramp access introduces the lovely home. Inside, timber-look flooring enhances integrated design where lounge, dining and living areas unfold with ease.
A Coonara wood-fuelled heater brings warmth to the living zone, while the kitchen makes a striking statement with 50mm waterfall-edge stone benchtops, a sleek glass splash back, and stone surfaces continuing to the walk-in pantry. A 900mm-wide upright oven and dishwasher complete the practical appointments. Indoor-outdoor connection is central to the design, with a series of glass stacker doors opening to a Merbau-decked veranda equipped with a BBQ gas outlet. Greenery surrounds the outdoor entertaining area, creating a peaceful backdrop accompanied by abundant birdsong.
Upstairs also accommodates 3 robed bedrooms, including the main bedroom with walk-in robe and modern, fully tiled shower ensuite. The remaining 2 bedrooms are served by the central bathroom with both shower and bath.
The lower level currently incorporates a laundry and bathroom, with an undercover area providing parking for several vehicles. Importantly, the floorplan has been designed with services already installed, to allow scope for a future 4 th bedroom, 3 rd living area, kitchenette that would directly connect to the existing Bathroom (subject to council approval). Further inclusions comprise a solar-powered remote-controlled entry gate, double glazing, zoned ducted heating and cooling, ceiling fans, side driveway access to under-house parking, hardstand for trailer or caravan storage, and 6.6kW solar panels.
Cascading landscaped grounds gently descend toward a lush, woodland-like setting, where a seasonal creek meanders through the lowest part of the property. European and native trees provide layered greenery around lawns and a pebbled fire pit area, while a sandpit, cubby house, henhouse, chook pen/dog run, 13,000-litre water tank, and garden shed add further lifestyle appeal.
Macedon Primary School, kindergarten, Mount view Theatre, Macedon Village Hotel, the IGA supermarket, train station, Mr. Café and Gogo's café are all within walking distance, while the local swimming hole is only 750m away, with the property zoned to Gisborne Secondary College. Secondary students could also enrol at Kyneton's Sacred Heart. College, the High School or at Braemar College in Woodend. Buses serve all local secondary schools.
The village of Macedon is renowned for its connection to the historic gardens of Mount Macedon, walking and cycling trails, neighbouring villages, artisan cafés and restaurants, galleries, cool-climate vineyards and farmers' markets, with nearby Calder Freeway access allowing an easy commute to Melbourne's CBD. This is a peaceful Macedon retreat where the low maintenance landscape shapes the experience, and the home leaves room for the future.
