** Enter from Cantillons Road **
Nestled in one of the district’s best known elevated positions, this 21 acre lifestyle property really connects with the terrain and the framed views over the Central Highlands reinforce the rural idyll of an area already renowned for its pristine, organic environment, 800 metres above sea level.
Designed by architect, Eric Zehrung, the property is quietly secluded, but you are far from isolated, with Daylesford and Trentham 10 minutes in either direction and the Wombat State Forest adjoining the southern boundary.
Built on the principles of passive solar design, this energy and thermally efficient home brings together a north facing orientation, and thermal mass from mudbrick dividing walls and floorboards over a concrete slab, to ensure optimum comfort all year round.
The living experience is heightened further by the 90m bore providing pure springwater for all stock and domestic use, plus ancillary 38,000 litre rainwater storage.
A centrepiece fully glazed living area with adjacent kitchen and dining zones, captures the north-easterly views of Mt Macedon and there are 4-5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and numerous covered outdoor areas to enhance the living experience.
Coveted extras include: mains power, wood heating with in-line exchange system, abundant storage, shedding, landscaped and low maintenance garden, and numerous birdlife and wildlife.
