Nestled in a peaceful pocket of Taradale, this exceptional off-grid retreat celebrates the best of sustainable living and breathtaking natural beauty. Framed by sweeping views and spectacular north-west sunsets, every inch of this 12-acre (approx.) property has been designed to harmonise with its surroundings and capture the ever-changing light across the landscape.
From dawn to dusk, the outlook is nothing short of magnificent. Rolling hills, towering gums and the dramatic ridgelines of the Mount Alexander Ranges stretch out before you, a view that constantly reminds you of the serenity of this part of central Victoria. Whether enjoyed from the outdoor entertaining area, the living room, or even the bath in the main ensuite, the outlook creates an unbroken connection to nature and an unmistakable sense of calm.
Built just 2.5 years ago by David Watson, the residence pairs modern comfort with total self-sufficiency. A 7kW solar system with five batteries, 70,000Lt of water storage, and a spring-fed dam with jetty ensure complete independence, while thoughtful landscaping, double glazing and solid wood floors enhance everyday comfort.
Step inside to discover an open-plan haven where the family, kitchen and dining spaces flow seamlessly to outdoor living through retractable doors with hidden flyscreens. A double-sided Mansfield fireplace anchors the home, complemented by split systems and ceiling fans. The sleek kitchen features a pyrolytic oven, electric cooktop, dishwasher and generous island bench, perfect for entertaining or quiet nights in.
Accommodation is equally impressive, with three bedrooms, including a serene main bedroom suite complete with window seat, walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite with deep soaking bath. The main bathroom, set at the opposite end of the home, sits beside a very functional mudroom/laundry complete with heated towel rails and excellent storage throughout, a clever addition that ensures the home works effortlessly day to day.
Outdoors, enjoy alfresco dining under custom pergolas, admire the dam deck at sunset, and soak in the tranquility of your own slice of nature. Matching carport, workshop and woodshed add practicality to this thoughtfully crafted home.
Directly adjoining the historic Water Race and the 78 km walking trail linking Malmsbury Reservoir to Bendigo, the property offers unmatched access to pristine bushland and outdoor adventure. Only seven minutes from Malmsbury Station and a short drive to Kyneton, Castlemaine and Daylesford, this is off grid living without compromise, rare and ready to inspire.
