Metcalfe VIC 3448

Set amongst the rolling hills of the Metcalfe farming district is this remarkable property which has to be experienced to be fully appreciated.The architect designed passive solar home has been crafted to take in the northern orientation with garden and rural vistas from every room. There are 4 bedrooms and 4 living areas providing plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The home is connected to the expansive paved outdoor entertaining with the ornamental grape covered pergola, a place to enjoy the long lunch with family and friends. The stone retaining walls throughout the gardens and down to the tennis court have been quarried mainly from the property, which serve as a testament to the terrain and complement the rolling lawns, trees and hedging. Serviced by its own pavilion, a beautiful space to retreat to, the pool forms a part of the postcard garden setting and is to be enjoyed over the summer months.The 16 acres of relatively low maintenance land is a mixture of open pasture and scattered gums, an unmistakeable Australian setting. Masses of mature European trees have been nurtured by the current owners and will be enjoyed for generations to come. There are Oaks, Poplars, Crab Apple, Birches, Liquid Ambers to name a few along with numerous fruit trees. The raised veggie patch, citrus grove and chook shed complete the picture.The property is supported by excellent water with 120,000 litres of rain water storage and a very large dam which sits beautifully in the landscape. There are 2 sheds, 4 bay machinery and 9x7m lockable garage/shed.Quite possibly this is the property you have been waiting for, now an achievable reality. It is hard to believe you could be 12 minutes from Kyneton, 20 minutes to Castlemaine and just over an hour from Melbourne.
