**WATCH OUR VIDEO PRESENTATION**
Set privately beyond a long, winding driveway, this is a property that reveals itself gradually, where the sense of arrival is shaped as much by the land as it is by the home itself. Positioned on approximately 2.5 acres, the setting feels beautifully removed, with established trees, gentle contours and a landscape that has been allowed to evolve naturally over time.
Designed and built by an owner-builder who was a draftsman by trade, the home carries a level of thought and precision that is immediately felt. Solid in its construction and generous in its proportions, it reflects a time when homes were built to last, with materials chosen for their longevity and spaces designed for real living. Extensive timber ceilings, exposed brickwork and wide expanses of glass create a warmth that feels both grounded and enduring.
The main living domain is where this character comes into its own. Soaring timber-lined ceilings draw the eye upward, while a striking central brick fireplace anchors the space, creating both a visual and functional heart to the home. Natural light moves easily throughout, and at every turn there is a connection to the greenery beyond, reinforcing a sense of calm that defines the entire property.
The kitchen and adjoining meals area are well positioned within the home, offering a practical layout with generous storage and preparation space. It is comfortable and functional as it stands, while still allowing scope to update over time if you choose. From here, sliding doors open to the elevated balcony, where the outlook across the gardens and surrounding landscape becomes part of everyday living.
The upper level continues with well-proportioned bedrooms, each capturing natural light and a garden aspect. The main bedroom, complete with built-in cabinetry and direct access to the balcony, enjoys a particularly peaceful outlook. The central bathroom is neat and well maintained, consistent with the care shown throughout the home.
What truly sets this property apart is the flexibility offered by the lower level. With its own entrance, kitchen, meals and living zone, two bedrooms and a bathroom, it presents as a fully self-contained space that can operate independently or be seamlessly integrated with the main residence. Whether for extended family, guest accommodation, a work-from-home environment or even a creative retreat, it's a space that adapts as life evolves. It may also present an opportunity for short-term accommodation, subject to council approval.
Outdoors, the home continues to connect beautifully with its surroundings. A wide, covered alfresco spans the rear, creating a sheltered space to gather, entertain or simply enjoy the quiet. This area forms a more defined home block, with established lawns and plantings providing structure and usability around the residence itself. Beyond this, the landscape opens out to the front portion of the property, where fruit trees, garden beds and vegetable gardens reflect a more productive use of the land. Together, these zones create a balance between everyday living and lifestyle, with room to expand, personalise or simply enjoy as it is.
Additional features throughout the home continue to reflect both its character and practicality, including ducted heating, wood combustion heating, beautiful timber flooring, soaring cathedral ceilings and exposed brickwork. A cellar or additional storage area, a well-positioned laundry with external access, and external awnings further enhance everyday functionality.
Externally, the property is equally well equipped, with a double garage offering internal access, a separate workshop, a garden shed and ample off-street parking. Combined with the space and flexibility that comes with acreage living, it's a setting that supports both lifestyle and practicality with ease.
Despite its sense of seclusion, the property remains within easy reach of Sunbury township, schools, shopping and transport, offering a balance that is increasingly hard to find.
Homes of this nature are rarely offered and even more rarely held with such care. Bringing together solid craftsmanship, flexible living and a setting that feels entirely its own, this is a property that offers not just a home, but a way of living that can evolve over time.
