Appreciating a peaceful country backdrop that cradles its elegant architectural design, this 4-bedroom Hawthorn-brick residence delivers a refined rural lifestyle amidst a quintessential Merricks North landscape encompassing approximately 13.8 acres.
With a superb true north aspect, the large light filled central lounge with cathedral ceilings and dining room opens onto an expansive entertaining deck complete with elevated views across the beautiful pastures.
A stylish kitchen and adjacent family room with both gas and wood fired heating leads to a delightful covered patio, herb garden and additional outdoor entertaining area complete with pizza oven.
The four generously sized bedrooms include a master with a walk-through robe to the renovated central bathroom.
A separate refurbished self-contained cabin, complete with kitchenette, heating, external bathroom and entertaining deck with views over the fields provides additional living space, guest accommodation or perfect home office.
Geographically bordered by the grand ridge of Merricks North with a tree-lined tributary to Dunns Creek running through its hind, its secretive position and established garden surrounds allow for complete immersion within a calming and serene environment.
A wander around the extensive grounds presents a dreamy array of verdant scenes, headlined by a flourishing kitchen garden and fruit orchard by the fully-fenced paddocks, a spring-fed dam with a pump to replenish the extensive gardens. Go exploring through the pine forest across the creek bridge to discover a private fire pit clearing.
A world away from it all but only a 5 minute drive to Balnarring shopping village, the property features automatic entry gates, two double carports, a 12.0 x 7.0m (approx.) powered machinery shed and ample water storage. Centrally placed in a hinterland region emanating with lifestyle magnetism, it sits only moments from Westernport and Port Phillip beaches and townships, with proximity to some of the country's best wineries and epicurean experiences.
