QUALITY MUD BRICK HOME WITH "ACHERON RIVER" FRONTAGE

Inspired by nature, this truly unique home in a quiet country setting provides peace of mind and a high quality of life.

With a five-star energy-efficiency rating and occupying a private 1.75*acres of 7 freehold titles, the owner designer/builder's three-bedroom, mud brick cavity construction has major thermal benefits.

For those who want to be connected to nature without sacrificing modern convenience, the property is moments from Marysville and a 25*-minute commute to Healesville.
Surrounded by crown land, public conservation land and the Acheron River, the residence is warm in winter and cool in summer.

With passive solar heating, the continuous-flow layout features towering ceiling heights, clerestory windows, large expanses of north-facing glass, abundant natural light, hydronic floor heating, recycled jarrah and red gum dadoes as well as recycled red pine ceilings.

The kitchen/living/dining zone is centred around a striking, freestanding Count Rumford designed stone fireplace (external fed air), with a back-to-back EverHot slow combustion stove (water jacket plumbed for optional hot water use in winter).

The light-filled kitchen showcases LPG gas hotplates, under-bench oven, custom timber cabinetry, recycled jarrah countertops, garden outlook and a dishwasher.

Three spacious bedrooms (one with floor-to-ceiling picture windows) all come with built-in robes and share a full-sized bathroom, including red gum accents, separate shower and a separate toilet plus a deep-soak spa bath.

The secluded allotment features the right amount of cleared areas and native bushland, including the planting of black wattle and blackwood trees as privacy screens and for their fire-retardant qualities.

Low-maintenance appeal, high level of finish and only 1.5* hours out of Melbourne, this rare home and idyllic hideaway is your best move.
