Nature mud brick hideaway meets stylish contemporary living. Hidden gem tucked away on a quiet road just 5mins from Healesville town centre & the Wildlife Sanctuary. This newly renovated home features: - High, wooden ceilings - Open-plan living and dining area - Rustic coonara wood fireplace - Fully equipped kitchen - Light-filled queen bedroom, cosy double bedroom and pull-out sofa - Spacious modern bathroom Watch the sunset from the verandah or enjoy a glass of wine by the outdoor fire pit. The space Inspired by earth and luxury in equal measure, this space is bound to soothe as well as inspire. Enter into a wide, open-plan living area with vaulted ceilings, tasteful contemporary décor, and plenty of room for morning yoga or an evening slow-dance. The kitchen is stylish and modern, featuring a deep double sink, generous cupboard space, a coffee machine, electric oven, and gas stovetop for an authentic cooking experience. Prepare a cheeseboard on the wooden countertop or whip up a home-cooked meal with farm-fresh produce and locally sourced wine. We’re fully equipped with all the pots and pans and wine glasses you could need! The kitchen itself can seat four people at the island bench, which is perfect for casual conversation and food-grazing, but if you’d prefer a more formal setup, there is also a dedicated 6 seated dining area adorned with statement hanging lampshades and fresh flowers. Around the corner is a cosy living space where you can slink away to read a book or catch up on your favourite Netflix show. Here you’ll also notice our favourite feature of the house – the newly installed wood fireplace. We have to admit, nothing beats the pleasure of snuggling up on the couch of an evening, listening to the birdsong, and letting a toasty fire warm your toes. Mud bricks are little miracles at keeping the heat in during winter and out during summer, but for your comfort and indulgence, we definitely recommend trying the fireplace at least once. You’re also welcome to use the reverse-cycle air conditioning system in the warmer months. Branching off from the main area are two bedrooms – one light-filled queen bed and another cosy double bed, both with floor-to-ceiling windows. The fold-out couch is also available for us to convert into a comfortable double bed upon request (as a bonus, anyone sleeping here will get to see the sunset through the windows). The bathroom is chic and contemporary with a large vanity mirror, vessel sink, and spacious glass shower with a rainfall shower head. There’s also a separate laundry room with a new washing machine, so no need to fret if your nature immersion experience makes its way onto your clothes. Outside, the house is bordered by a covered verandah, so even if it’s too wet to head out on an adventure, you can sit back with a tea or hot chocolate and breathe in the smell of the rain. The lawn is always a luscious green, the views are breath-taking, and the paths that wind through the garden light up beautifully at night like a fairy-tale.
