NOURISH YOUR SOUL : COMFORT AND JOY IN THIS STUNNING IDEAL CITY ESCAPE OR SPECIAL RURAL HOME

    How nice is it to be able to buy a property that is truly unique in a part of Victoria with endless attractions.

    What we appreciate about this property are the significant improvements undertaken by the current owners to create a beautiful example now recognised as an ecoproperty®. You will be the beneficiary of well researched and implemented designs and systems for wonderful enjoyment and living throughout.

    We start with the love of the name Amphitheatre. Named after the naturally formed round, bowl-like valley surrounded by the Pyrenees. Location of the original settlement part of the gold rush and on the Cobb & Co line. Beautiful natural landscapes and history to explore.

    The main attractions start with the property itself. The house is in an elevated position giving you an uninterrupted view across an expansive valley looking at Mt Lonarch (the highest point in the Pyrenees Ranges) to the Southwest. Look North and you are seeing the second highest peak in the Pyrenees Ranges.

    A hidden gem. The house cannot be seen from any public road and is nestled in the middle of 100 acres. Close the gate and you are blissfully a world away from the world (there are locals that don't know that the house is there).

    A stunning tribute to contemporary Australian architecture based on the shearing shed, the home enjoys a cavernous 10m x 25m living space. Cleverly it provides a myriad of spaces and zones to achieve a cosy sense of intimacy and warmth. You will never again need to worry if that favourite piece of furniture or rug will fit don't worry, it will.

    A gorgeous open plan kitchen integrates with the living spaces. The new kitchen has stone benches, stainless steel appliances, including a 900mm European oven and a butler's sink.

    The downstairs bedrooms (main with BIR) with polished floors and tiled bathroom are generous. The timber joinery throughout is a lovely contrast to the ultralight interior. Stunning light fittings, claw-foot bath.

    The open, pitched roofline enhances the feeling of unlimited space. The mezzanine provides additional sleeping quarters, games room, sitting areas and storage.

    The study/office or craft room presents as an easy conversion to a 4th bedroom.

    The large, fitted laundry with shower and toilet has access to the garden. Perfect for gardeners and children.

    The full wrap-around verandah creates many spaces to enjoy the vistas throughout the day and the seasons. Just as the windows show the beautiful Pyrenees Ranges and lovely views across the farmland.

    An early morning swim or balmy evening around the (heated) pool one of the many immediate attractions.

    The property is on 2 titles - 80 acres for the main house and 20 acres at the north-east corner of the property including easy access to mains power. You could sell the 20 acre title to provide a net reduction in the outlay. Or, the 2 titles are perfect for group or multi-generational family buying with lots of financing options.

    Gently undulating land with 2 open paddocks suited to grazing or horses, or join the local wine industry with viticulture, or anything to suit the Mediterranean climate. The southern 50 acres have secure fencing. The northern 50 acres mainly timber and woodlands with minimal non secure fencing effective for wildlife corridors.

    Blessed with an amazing array of flora and fauna native to the area, the property also features lavender. Legend says it was introduced to the area 150 years ago by Chinese gold miners working the famous "Golden Triangle" area of the Victorian gold fields. By the way, there is almost certainly gold on the property.

    A second dwelling, about 400 metres from the main house, is approved with a lovely site facing the farmland and the hills beyond. Perfect for anyone wanting to establish the main house as an income producing enterprise for B&B, events or whatever your imagination brings to the property. Proposed design available on request.

    Perfect weekend getaway as it is less than 2 hours from the Melbourne CBD (finish work on Friday afternoon and you can be there for dinner), or the same to Tullamarine airport both national and international.

    The property was run as a successful bed and breakfast for almost 8 years hosting up to 12 in the house. There is enormous capacity as a venue for large gatherings with the largest held for 100 guests.
