Positioned on the fringe of Newstead, this is a home that rewards those who look closely. Built by respected local building company Russell Parsons, this impeccably presented residence sits within an expansive, fully fenced garden, lush, low-maintenance lawn stretching to the boundaries, the ancient gums of the surrounding landscape standing sentinel beyond the fence line, and borrowed views across rolling farmland completing a scene that is quietly, persistently beautiful.
The architecture announces itself with quiet confidence: angled rooflines, gabion baskets, and a considered materiality that feels rooted in its landscape without resorting to pastiche. Step inside and the quality is immediate, polished concrete floors flow underfoot, double-glazed windows frame the north-facing outlook, and the clean, unhurried lines of the interior speak to a home designed to be lived in, not just admired.
The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living, generously proportioned, north-facing, and full of the kind of warmth that only comes from good design. A solid wood heater anchors the living space for winter evenings, while a split-system ensures comfort in every season. The kitchen offers an island bench with stone benchtops, a walk-in pantry, an electric cooktop with undermount oven, and a dishwasher. Double sliding doors open wide to the covered alfresco, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out, the ancient gums forming an irreplaceable backdrop, and the heated 6m × 2.4m plunge pool glittering beyond, a setting that makes year-round entertaining feel entirely effortless.
The main bedroom enjoys its own connection to the alfresco through sliding door access. A walk-in robe and ensuite with shower, vanity, and toilet complete the suite with understated elegance. Three further bedrooms are well-proportioned and thoughtfully detailed: bedroom two features built-in robes, while bedrooms three and four each offer walk-in robes. A central bathroom with shower, bath, vanity, and separate toilet serves the secondary accommodation with equal care, and a practical laundry keeps the everyday organised. A second living space, flexible as a sitting room, study, or playroom, adds a layer of adaptability that growing families and working-from-home households will immediately appreciate.
Outside, the property's credentials are equally compelling. The secure double garage offers both internal and external access, while the 9×6m workshop with 3.3m clearance is a genuine standout, whether you are a tradesperson, a passionate hobbyist, or someone with an eye on future studio conversion, this is a space that opens possibilities rather than closing them. A small shed provides additional storage for tools, bikes, or garden equipment, and the entire rear garden is fully fenced, safe, private, and beautifully presented.
Sustainability has been considered at every turn: a 5.6kW solar system and solar hot water significantly reduce running costs, double-glazed windows throughout moderate temperature and noise, and both town and tank water provide security and flexibility. This is a home built for the long term, one that takes its environmental responsibilities seriously without ever feeling like a compromise.
All of this sits a short stroll from the heart of Newstead, 850 metres from the local school, within easy reach of the town's celebrated cafés, galleries, and community, with the forest trails of Mia Mia Road accessible.
This is a marriage of architectural intention and country soul, considered in every detail, generous in every sense, and entirely ready for the life you have been imagining.
