Steeped in history as a dairy farm dating back to the 1890s, then later as a holiday retreat in the 1970s for some of Australian television’s biggest personalities, this striking home on 15.6 (approx) acres has been wonderfully expanded and reimagined from the original cottage into a sprawling five-bedroom residence brimming with a unique and eclectic elegance.
Designed across two spacious levels integrating recycled materials from the original home with a suite of contemporary upgrades, the residence features two large living areas and a vast dining zone on the lower level with hardwood floors, exposed brickwork and ceiling beams, fireplaces and an array of French and bifold doors opening to a choice of alfresco areas and the glorious gardens.
A fully modernised kitchen with vast island and shaker cabinetry is fitted with a 900mm oven and integrated dishwasher, while a semi self-contained suite on the upper level provides a bedroom, sitting room, balcony and rainshower bathroom to accommodate overnight guests.
The sizeable master bedroom with walk-in robe also opens to the garden and enjoys ensuite-style access to a 2-way bathroom with granite-topped vanity and frameless glass shower. Three additional bedrooms down a separate hall are serviced by the 3rd bathroom with spa bath.
A former pony training school, the property is overlapped by Sheepwash Creek and comprises 7 paddocks, 5 loose boxes, 4 watered stables, a menage, dam and wide driveway with generous float access, providing established infrastructure to accommodate horses or to start a business.
Surrounded by wineries, the property is just few minutes’ drive to the Boundary Road shops and cafes, Dromana town centre, the beach, primary and secondary schools and the freeway onramp for easy access to the city.
