55 Dollar-Woorarra West Road

Foster North VIC 3960

On entering the wide Parisian style front door, you're greeted by high limed beams, limed wooden floors and a soft colour scheme which adds light filled contemporary chic to the traditional French country house atmosphere of this striking home.

The open plan, kitchen/dining/living area with its wide country style windows is perfect for casual indoor-outdoor entertaining. With patio doors leading to the alfresco deck, overlooking temperate tree fern forest, everchanging rolling South Gippsland hills and the big sky and sea views across to 'The Prom'.

The large Kitchen has stone benches, a walk-in pantry and European appliances, including a 90cm Ilve dual fuel cooker and captivating outlooks to the Fish Creek hills and beyond.

A wood fire heats and keeps the open plan living area and adjacent theatre room cosy in winter, whilst a split system upstairs warms the 3 oversized bedrooms on the 1st floor.

Downstairs, a laundry and family bathroom with high quality tapware and fixtures and a large claw foot bath, is just made to enjoy with a good book and glass of bubbles.

On the 1st floor, accessed via feature wooden stairs sit 3 oversized bedrooms, sharing a large central bathroom. Each with built in robes, high limed cathedral ceilings, limed wooden floors and their own, very special forest, sea and rural outlooks.

The master bedroom also has its own veranda, from which the owners can observe the visiting Lyre Birds (after whom the property is named) and other wildlife including Wallabies and Koalas in the garden.

Outside sits a productive food garden with raised garden beds, fruit trees and a small chook house.
Outdoor storage is well catered for with a large attractive rustic timber garden shed, and larger powered garage with concrete floors both built in the same sophisticated boat house style. A large under house cellar provides additional storage.

66,000 litres of rainwater tanks, a 6.6kw Solar system, with a 5kw inverter and 10kw LG Battery and solar hot water with a instantaneous booster, help keep utilities bills affordable.

The surrounding temperate rain forest and tree ferns are protected by the ecologically friendly worm septic.

Lyre Bird Woods is the perfect tree change home or weekend getaway and sits just 6.6km from the shops, schools and medical facilities of Foster, 10 km to Fish Creek and 2 hours and 13 mins 'Google' driving time from Central Melbourne.
