2 - Welcome guests in the spacious foyer which introduces the home's industrial ambiance with polished concrete floors, both beautiful and forgiving, embellished with black oxide and Tarrawingee aggregate. Step through to the open plan dining area and the heart of the home opens to you. You will be in awe of sweeping views across a lake ideal for kayak training and paddle-boards, visible through the immense double-glazed frontage of the north wall. Complementing this view is the stunning custom made rammed earth walls and a rich warm redgum servery with a natural textured edge. - The servery seamlessly transitions to the spotless hygiene of a commercial style kitchen; spacious but designed for practicality and easy reach. Stainless Steel benchtops integrate premium appliances; a Falcon 6 burner double oven cooker, concealed Miele dishwasher and quality cabinetry. Mirror splashbacks are a clever design feature allowing you to stay engaged in conversation with your dinner guests while serving the dual purpose of reflecting natural light. - Adjacent to the kitchen is a butler's pantry with access to a breezeway and a huge under storey wine cellar, currently used as a gymnasium and additional garage space. - To the west of the entry is a study where you will first notice the cedar shiplap doors. To the east you are conveniently close to a beautiful mountain ash staircase leading to the first floor. Beyond the stairs is a separate lounge and master suite. This convenient design would be ideal for a B&B. - The master suite has a well-appointed walk-in-robe and exceptional ensuite with twin rainfall shower heads, steel benchtop, marble basin and separate powder room bathed in natural light from a clerestory window. The bedroom is luxurious and soothing. A bay window with French doors provides calming views and access to the solar heated pool landscaped with Indian sandstone, stone walls and a backdrop of greenery. A lush green lawn beyond the pool is bordered by a gorgeous lakefront boardwalk which brings you back to the northern patio, designed for alfresco entertaining under shade sails. - The east wing sitting room houses a large solid fuel heater incorporating a water jacket which works in concert with the solar hot water service for maximum energy efficiency. This solar passive room opens onto the patio as does the central sun room, which passively heats and cools the house. The south, west and eastern walls are constructed of double straw panels and together with a 1.5kw back-to-grid solar system, provide further efficiency credentials. - Upstairs, an expansive timber floored open living space is utilized as a billiard room and lounge. Four large bedrooms open off the lounge area with two adjoining ensuites, and access to the full-length balcony overlooking the lake. Both spacious ensuites have oversized showers. A fifth bedroom accesses the yard on the south side and a third bathroom has a luxurious deep tub with glass door access to a timber deck overlooking the pool and lake beyond. - Ample water is provided by two 23,700L tanks and a 2.7 megalitre water right. A large double garage with cedar panel lift doors and internal entry to the home provides easy access. An enormous 12 X 9m colorbond shed with concrete floor, lights and power provides ample work and storage space. - In the peaceful calming atmosphere of this amazing sanctuary you can live with nature and indulge in the beauty of visiting water birds whilst enjoying the cacophony of song from the ever-present frog life. You will feel a world apart, despite the Melbourne airport being an easy 75 minute commute and Bendigo's wonderful arts precinct and café culture being only 20 minutes away, as is Castlemaine.
