comfortable country living

A unique character home with a relaxed feel we know you'll love

Constructed of mudbrick, iron and hardwood, this lovingly renovated home connects firmly with the local landscape, blending contemporary and rustic elements to achieve a delightful ambience.   

The kitchen features timber cabinetry, honed black granite bench top and new appliances; it is centrally located between the open plan dining/ lounge area and a separate informal meals area.    

The main bedroom is a study in Australian country style, with stylish soft furnishings in neutral tones, antique french doors with leadlight, and a sliding reclaimed barn door to an ensuite emboldened with colourful Artisan tiles from Southern Cross Ceramics.   A second bedroom has a built-in robe and a stunning northerly view across the farm to the horizon.  

In the living zone, a traditional cast iron Norwegian woodheater by Jotul is a design hero,  ensuring this home is cozy throughout.   The sunroom that is currently part of the living area could be partitioned as a guest room if needed.  

A clerestory window bordered by beautiful timber-look wall tiling sets the tone for a rustic resort-style feel in the main bathroom, where you can bathe or shower with a view.   A laundry nook is also accommodated in the main bathroom.  

This  home sits in a landscaped garden setting that is both beautiful and practical, being low maintenance and including alfresco opportunities on all sides.   A wide verandah to the west takes advantage of views to the Black Range, and complements a broader gravel area perfect for entertaining around an outdoor fire.   On the eastern side of the house a sheltered courtyard nestles at the base of a dramatic sloping garden retained with huge rocks and timber sleepers; the plants here pop with coloured foliage and blooms throughout the year- a blaze of reds, purple, and pinks, balanced with plenty of green.  Across the courtyard is a tiny shed/studio crafted from an historic local outhouse, and ripe for the imagination of any artist or gardener.  Plants at home here include Japanese maples, crepe myrtles, roses, camelias, ericas, euphorbia, choisya and hellebores.
