Wonderland on 4 acres (app)
Entering this property is like entering another world in another time. This historic home was built in the 1920's, in a style so well advanced for that period. The Yarra Ranges Shire has heritage listed it as 'The Concrete House', however this name does little to justify the style and design of the main residence. With Spanish - Moroccan influence, the home is an icon in the Yarra Valley, and has been created as two separate wings that surround a paved courtyard. The first residence consists of 2 bedrooms, lounge with OFP, kitchen and bathroom, while the second has one bedroom and study, sitting room, kitchen and lounge and bathroom with original features such as hand made brick floor. There is a potential for these two wings opening to each other and creating a large residence. Other features include Tasmanian Oak floors, panel doors, high ceilings, ornate cornices and pressed metal panels. The original gardener???s cottage is used as a large studio/workshop and has 3 phase power. The Ure Creek meanders through the magnificent 4 acre (approx) property and creates an oasis for privacy and peace. The picturesque spring fed dam is a focal point of the park like gardens which consist of numerous fruit trees, ornamental trees and magnificent Manna Gums. The landscaped vegetable and herb gardens enable a lifestyle choice of self-sufficiency. This country retreat has the possibility of being a large permanent home for one or two families or a B & B (STCA), close to all the wonders of the Yarra Valley.
