Spring Hill VIC 3444

Offering an extremely private setting bordering the Wombat State Forest, this charming three-bedroom home is sensitively snuggled on a wonderful 19.9 acres (approx.) of enchanting gardens and beautiful lakes filled with thriving Lotus Lily-pads. The moment you walk through the gates of "Hortensia", you cannot help but be struck by the calm beauty of its exceptional grounds, with well-maintained stone-bordered pathways leading to the home. Intuitively designed for seamless indoor-outdoor connection, the home offers a sitting room, living, and dining area, which all capture inspiring garden views and open to a beautiful decked veranda, while a galley-style kitchen at its heart includes a servery, stainless steel dishwasher, oven, 4-burner stove, and a salamander. All of the bedrooms enjoy a restful botanic outlook and are serviced by an updated fully tiled bathroom with a full-sized bath and a separate powder room, with ample space for an office alcove off the living room. Lucky is the person working from here to do so to the attractive sound of birdsong. There is also a self-contained one-bedroom studio with a separate bathroom, presenting ideal use as a Bed & Breakfast or guest accommodation. Excellent infrastructure is afforded by multiple sheds and outbuildings including a 15m x 15m machinery garage/workshop, 9.5m x 9.2m shed, 2nd workshop, and 2 double carports. There is also a boundless water supply to the property with 2 lakes, 2 dams, water tank, and bore water, with pumps to the irrigation system. The property also includes a wood heater, skylights, solar panels, and an extensive security system. Take time while visiting this exceptional botanical oasis to visit the several garden "rooms" on this gently sloping property. Follow the garden paths to be surprised again and again by private spaces - a gazebo here, a well there. Be impressed by the many mature fruit trees in the orchard - apples and quinces - not to mention the flourishing grapevine over the hay shed. Another fenced-off area contains several chestnut trees all working their way to a roasting later in the year. But the mature trees are the standouts in this garden Pine Oaks, Fir trees and Weeping Blue Spruce, all working together to make a magical garden for a peaceful life. Beautifully located to take full advantage of surrounding Macedon Ranges townships including being a short drive to Trentham, it's close to gourmet eateries, shops, and conveniences.
