This outstanding country home may only be 12 months old, but it already has a soft and natural character in keeping with its surrounds, thanks to its recycled brick construction. The lux Todd Newman build sits on 20 beautiful acres of cleared land and forest. Fencing is in place, as is a huge dam and 16m x 9m Colourbond shed, setting you up for the good life, less than 9km from Eaglehawk. Right now, recent rains have coloured the gums and brought forth the frogs in preparation for a wonderful first summer in your brand-new dream home. The plan has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas and an over-sized double garage. But it’s the design inclusions and the views that truly shine here. Step inside to find polished concrete floors, high ceilings, set square cornice, plush carpet, white plantation shutters and gorgeous floor-to-ceiling drapes and sheers. Plus, reverse cycle heating and cooling and ceiling fans throughout. The master bedroom has as walk-in-robe, and one of the most beautiful ensuites we’ve seen this year. Behind a stone and timber vanity is a wide shower with a full-length window looking out to a private vista. What a way to start the day. The open-plan living space is built for a country lifestyle, with its wood heater and warm hospitality. The kitchen is another stand-out. A waterfall stone bench tops the timber island. There are sleek white overhead cabinets and under bench pot drawers, a 900mm oven and cooktop, designer sink and faucet. Roll back the barn door to find the butler’s pantry. The second living space is nicely zoned at the rear of the home. The further three bedrooms all have built-in-robes, fans and landscape views. The family bathroom is also gorgeous, with its floating timber vanity, wide frameless shower, floor-to-ceiling tiles and freestanding tub by a full pane of frosted glass. Take your lifestyle outside for summer under the big alfresco. With aggregate concrete underfoot, and a plaster ceiling with downlights and fan overhead, it’s in keeping with the property’s high design ideals. Gees Road is less than 20 minutes from the heart of Bendigo, and only eight minutes to the nearest primary school. You’re going to absolutely love it.
