Bellbrae VIC 3228

The heart of the existing mud-brick home is the rustic farm-style kitchen which flows to a stunning Wisteria -covered northern alfresco area with a stunning view as the backdrop. The kitchen is a haven for culinary enthusiasts who can savour the joy of harvesting homegrown produce encouraging informal get togethers. Light filled dining and lounge options flow from the central kitchen area in both directions where stunning French Oak and Tasmanian timber floors connect with the outdoors as the home boasts brilliant flow-through ventilation capturing refreshing summer breezes. Entertaining is effortless with a true indoor-outdoor connection where these areas are all drenched in the warm glow of northern light, a seamless combination around the outdoor fire. The French-inspired gardens nurture the home and seamlessly connect it to the natural landscape.
With recent upgrades including insulation, double glazed north facing windows/passive solar, veluxes, exposed copper piping and hydronic heating, the home boasts three considered bedrooms, family bathroom, laundry. Where the existing barn serves as potential outhouse, it hosts an over flow of bedrooms, bathrooms and entertaining spaces where AIRBNB, yoga studio or practical home office applications are all possible (STCA). Converting the barn to part of the existing home, would allow for a third residence on the property. Designed for sustainable living, the property features a 6KW solar system, 1million litre dam, productive established veggie garden with all-season grow tunnel, raised veggie beds, an orchard with established fruit trees & second newly planted orchard, wood storage shed, 1/2 acre wood lot, compost bays, 2 glasshouses, double car port and multiple storage/machinery shedding options.
The outdoor oasis is a testament to nature's exuberance where spring creeks runs through the property allowing the water table to hold and soil to flourish organically. The growing areas are fully irrigated by a commercial grade system servicing the 140smq area veggie garden.
With further opportunity to utilise an acre area of prime north-east facing soil for a vineyard, vegetable market or community garden the homes proximity to the Surf-Coast, Geelong's CBD and Melbourne presents a sublime and rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle of tranquillity and natural beauty. This is a real gem of a property that must be seen to be believed.
