Longwood - renowned for its historic homes on the cusp of Stirling and Aldgate- has long been revered for its soul-satisfying acreages. Amid an oasis of English-style gardens, vibrant autumn hues, and five meadow-like hectares, c1900 'Langunya' proudly continues the tradition.
Encircled by paddocks for the lucky ponies or livestock, lay out the linen anywhere on these landscaped, stone-walled grounds, and as a luxurious tree-change or hobby farm, the rest of world will be blissfully forgotten.
That is, bar the sweeping views.
Just 15 minutes from the Tollgate, the four-bedroom cottage is a vision of slate, stone, exposed timber beams and whitewashed charm, suspended in time by sympathetic Pauline Hurren architecture.
Since then, its rustic aesthetic has come of age with a new and improved driveway, new gutters, enhanced open plan living, new laundry, sleek custom storage and two bold new bathrooms with a jolt of cool blue; the family suite indulging in a freestanding bath; the ensuite given a similar modern vibe.
Naturally, old meets new beautifully.
The subtle split-level design hugs the land's gentle layers offering two carpeted bedrooms above, two timber-floored bedrooms below the primary bedroom drawn to a walk-in robe, new ensuite and endless outlooks.
Can't wait for winter? Then it's well worth pretending it is as you slip into the sitting room finale bookended by an open and combustion fire, the generous 2nd living room/snug, or the sunlit breakfast conservatory, serving one of the home's many breathtaking views.
And there's always the underfloor heating.
Silky Tasmanian oak benchtops round off the slick country kitchen with a Smeg induction cooktop, oven, and a fully integrated ASKO dishwasher; and the laundry/mudroom hits next level luxe with under-bench appliance space and stone-topped functionality.
Enjoy outdoor entertaining on the elevated circular lawn in the shade of the green garden. As you thrive against a native bushland setting with views to virtually everywhere, a step beyond your private boundary is always worthwhile....
For Stirling Patisserie, Verte at Mylor or Fred's at Aldgate; this is five-hectare seclusion without the compromise.
