A Private Rural Retreat with Endless Possibilities

Set across an impressive 15.78 hectares (approx. 39 acres) and framed by breathtaking views towards the Cathedral Range, this architect-designed residence offers a rare combination of contemporary luxury, energy efficiency and relaxed rural living. Ideally positioned just a short drive from Marysville, Alexandra and Healesville, this convenient location offers easy access to charming regional towns, local amenities and everything the surrounding area has to offer.

Designed to embrace its peaceful surrounds, the five-bedroom, four-bathroom home, complete with an additional powder room, is filled with natural light and an incredible sense of space. Soaring ceilings and expansive double-glazed windows draw the outdoors in, while the thoughtfully designed floorplan provides multiple living zones and plenty of flexibility for family living, guests or business use.

Previously operated as a successful yoga retreat, the property presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to establish a lifestyle business, wellness retreat, short-term accommodation or Airbnb, or simply enjoy an exceptional private country escape. The generous accommodation, versatile living spaces and tranquil setting provide the perfect foundation for a range of possibilities.

At the centre of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen, designed with entertaining in mind. Abundant storage, extensive bench space, gas burners, electric hotplate and an electric fan-forced oven make it both practical and inviting. The adjoining open-plan living and dining area is a wonderful gathering space, with a Cheminees Philippe firebox creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by reverse-cycle air conditioning for year-round comfort.

A dedicated study nook with built-in desk provides an ideal workspace, while the separate multi-purpose rumpus room, formerly utilised as the yoga studio, offers an adaptable space for recreation, retreat activities, a home business or simply somewhere for the family to spread out.

The master suite provides a private sanctuary, featuring generous proportions, a walk-through walk-in robe and a beautifully appointed ensuite. A separate studio adds another dimension to the property, incorporating an additional bedroom, living area and powder room, making it ideal for extended family, guests or retreat accommodation.

Outside, the lifestyle continues with beautifully established and landscaped gardens surrounding a spectacular 12.5m x 3m salt-chlorine, solar-heated inground pool. A covered orchard provides an abundance of established fruit trees, while the enclosed vegetable garden is ready for those wanting to embrace a more self-sufficient way of life.

For the hobbyist, tradesperson or serious storage requirements, the substantial 7m x 15m shed features a concrete floor and power. There is also a separate firewood and garden tool shed, providing plenty of practical storage.

Energy efficiency and sustainability have been carefully considered throughout the property. A 6kW solar system with 10.5kWh battery storage, high-performance double-glazed windows, double ceiling insulation and a hot water heat pump all contribute to the home's impressive thermal performance and reduced energy consumption.

Water is plentiful, with approximately 170,000 litres of rainwater storage gravity fed to the home, a further 60,000 litres dedicated to garden watering, along with 6MG pumping rights from Health Creek.

With abundant space, exceptional accommodation, established gardens, outstanding infrastructure and spectacular rural surroundings, this is far more than a country home. It is an opportunity to create your own private retreat, wellness destination, lifestyle business or simply enjoy the freedom and tranquillity of acreage living.

Located within an easy 15-minute walk of the Black Range State Forest and surrounded by the beauty of the Cathedral Range, this is a property where lifestyle, sustainability and opportunity come together in one truly special setting.
