Once the original schoolhouse for Merricks North’s earliest days, and on offer for the first time in over 50 years, this 5-bedroom plus office, 3-lounge residence and its sprawling 10-acre (approx.) grounds hold an immersive story etched into its gently undulating landscape, comprehensively reimagined by its successor as the ultimate family lifestyle playground that instantly feels like home from the moment you arrive.
On the doorstep of some of the Peninsula's finest backcountry wineries, its naturally enveloping welcome slowly unveils a magical world of botanical splendour with beautiful views of the rolling hinterland beyond. Meandering brick pathways through hedge-lined gardens create the most mesmeric entry, opening to an atrium-style entrance with wondrous picture windows out to incredible greenery, separating the original schoolhouse building from the later-built extension and poolhouse.
The schoolhouse has been converted to four large bedrooms (three with open fireplaces) around a central bathroom, extending back to the ‘newer’ end of the home, where a home office and a master with a stunning garden-view ensuite precede a formal fireside lounge and dining space with a wet bar, a more casual family and meals area by a timber-topped kitchen and walk-in pantry. Outdoors, wide verandahs and a viewing deck introduce the property’s leisure appeal, with a downstairs rumpus, wine cellar, and comprehensive pool house, complete with a spa and ensuite bathroom, underscoring its credentials.
Three substantial paddocks and a number of outbuildings add welcome infrastructure amongst established gardens and greenery, perfectly rounding out the perfect hinterland experience just over an hour's drive (approx.) from Melbourne, mere moments from Red Hill and Balnarring villages, renowned cellar doors, indulgent dining experiences, and within 15 minutes of Port Phillip and Westernport beaches.
