Luxury Country Home with Sea & Rural views
This spacious, luxurious 4-bedroom home is located high on the hills with spectacular views of the ocean and the rolling pastures and forests. The house is set on 6 acres of land, sharing a boundary on one side with National Park, with old growth rainforest and is less than 12km from Apollo Bay. This house is completely off the grid with 20 Solar Panels producing 7.8KW and 12KW battery, back-up generator, plus 4 water tanks holding 70,000 litres in total.
Entry to the residence from the Great Ocean Road is via a well-kept driveway linked with trees and keyless automated gates. As you wind down the driveway past a pond, whilst catching glimpses of native flora and fauna along the way, it’s hard to miss the magnificent striking views with proportionally large house to match.
Upon entering the house, it opens up to a very expansive open plan living area with living room, dining and kitchen zones that is naturally lit with large windows. There is a large woodfire box that radiates the whole space, reverse cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans. There is plenty of room for entertaining and relaxing in this grand space. The large kitchen includes a generous sized custom-built concrete bench top which doubles as a breakfast bar, built in concrete sink, butler’s pantry, La Germania gas stove and oven with tiled back splash, ample storage, and dishwasher- this kitchen is an entertainer’s dream!
Flowing from the open plan living area is a large wrap around deck which is a great place to entertain, relax and enjoy the views that extend well beyond the horizon. Tucked away on the other side of the living area is a second deck which is great sun trap and place to BBQ.
Off the living area is a massive master bedroom with a timber back drop behind the bed, generous sized walk-in robe, reverse cycle air conditioning, ceiling fan, access to the large wrap around balcony and an ensuite with bath, shower & double vanity. The room boasts incredible views across the valley to the ocean. This north facing room will capture the rising sun in the morning and the sunset in the evening.
On the front side of the house is the 2nd bedroom with views of the ocean and direct access to the main family bathroom with bath, shower, toilet, and vanity. The third and fourth bedrooms also with built in robes and views of the old growth rainforest are accessed by a shared hallway with a separate powder room dividing the rooms. At the top of this hallway is large full laundry with linen cupboards.
The house has a large double garage with plenty of storage space and access into the house. Just across from the garage is an external studio which could be set up as a fifth bedroom, art studio, small gym or study. Other features of the house include all double-glazed windows, block out blinds, continuous gas hot water and a sewerage treatment plant.
This property will never be overlooked or lose the views.
This is a remarkable property, and an inspection will not disappoint!
