High in the foothills where the air feels a little fresher and the horizon stretches just that bit further, this Upwey home captures a lifestyle that treads lightly while living richly. Set on an elevated 1,918sqm (approx.) block, the outlook is nothing short of captivating - sweeping across the leafy folds of the Lysterfield Valley and, on a clear day, reaching all the way to the glistening bay and Arthurs Seat.
Theres a quiet intelligence to the design here that comes complete with a 10/10 Residential Efficiency Scorecard. Split-level and filled with light, the home leans into its surroundings, with skylights drawing sunshine deep into the interiors and double-glazed windows framing the ever-changing landscape. It feels calm, considered and cathartic.
The living zone is where the home gathers itself. A Nectre wood fire anchors the lounge, casting a gentle warmth that makes winter something to look forward to. Up a level, the adjoining kitchen and meals space carries a relaxed, lived-in energy - timber benchtops, stainless steel electric appliances, a butchers block island and a clever butlers pantry all working together with ease. Throughout, handcrafted timber elements - many sourced from the property itself - add a layer of story and soul.
Accommodation includes two robed bedrooms plus a flexible study or third bedroom, serviced by a family bathroom with double vanity, bath and a separate powder room. The laundry is as practical as it is thoughtful, complete with integrated storage and even a cleverly built-in dog crate (your four-legged housemate will approve).
Downstairs, a fully insulated and carpeted space with its own entrance opens up a world of possibilities - home office, studio, business base or teen retreat - ready to flex as life evolves.
Outside, the property takes on a life of its own. Terraced gardens create usable zones for play, pottering and produce, with fruit trees, veggie beds and a new chicken run supporting a more self-sufficient rhythm. Theres always something growing, something to harvest, something to share. Native plantings attract birds, bees and the occasional visiting echidna, while a firepit zone invites long evenings under open skies.
The front deck is your daily reset zone. With a hammock post for gently swaying and uninterrupted views stretching beyond, its the kind of place where time slows down - morning coffee turns into mid-morning, and sunset becomes an event in itself.
With solar panels, rainwater storage, double glazing and thoughtful design choices throughout, this is a home that treads lightly while living richly.
