With french doors all around, expansive glazing and louvres for airflow, it's very much an indoor-outdoor house, with every space able to enjoy fresh air, beautiful natural light and a unique aspect of the landscape.
Rooms in the original 1870's home have been unlocked for open plan appeal, creating a lovely flow between formal and family spaces. Here, a stunning Beech and granite kitchen is more than about good looks. With a 1.2m St George dual fuel range, Miele dishwasher, huge walk-in pantry and breakfast bar for meals on the go; it's a workspace to satisfy the largest of families and keenest of entertainers, just steps from all the home's dining areas, both inside and out.
A third living area is offered in a sun-filled gallery, opening to a gorgeous pool deck and adjoining three good sized bedrooms, making this the perfect children's zone. Beyond, busy parents will find peace and privacy in a luxurious master bedroom retreat, complete with a mesmerizing spa ensuite, cleverly configured to offer also a handy bathroom facility to alfresco diners and pool users.
Each bedroom comes with huge banks of groovy mini orb built-ins and there are more in the hallway - inspired touches of contemporary australiana that will also allow you to live clutter free. A slow combustion stove and natural convection stone fireplace are efficient winter warmers, while split system air conditioning and ceiling fans are there to boost heating and cooling needs.
While the farmhouse is comfortable and undeniably beautiful, by far the greatest joy is to be out in the great outdoors where new life, art and sustainability have been breathed into the grounds. Formal gardens radiate from the shade giving boughs of a century-old oak; a potager and orchard provide seasonal produce to serve at your table and there's a haha for uninterrupted views of the lake and wetlands, fringed by boardwalks and a jetty. Here, turtles surface when called to feed and hordes of ducklings bob on mirrored calm.
At the rear, everything is drought tolerant - a native garden in contemporary style. There's a lovely big area of grass and a kids' play area with a cage trampoline, swings, rope ladder and a sandpit. And then there are the home paddocks that will allow you to keep a friendly ewe or two.
Red brow finches, rosellas, lorikeets and blue wrens all live here while yellow tail black cockatoos are seasonal visitors.
Complete with a Biolytix sewage system run on earth worms, a water catchment area with run-off to the lake, fire fighting tanks that can switch to house usage, an aviary, dog pen, workshop, double garage and double carport; this unique and exceptionally special Hills property offers a free and easy lifestyle just minutes from local schools, vibrant Stirling Village and freeway access to town, about twenty minutes.
