Buninyong 888 Somerville Street

From the moment you drive down the tree lined driveway into this unique and inspirational property you will feel as though you've escaped the rat race and entered your own private paradise. Just minutes from the Buninyong Township with cafes, bakery, pub, supermarket, kindergarten and primary school, golf club, football club all within easy distance and just 15 minutes to Ballarat - properties of this size in the district are hard to come by.

This 15 acre (approx.) property has been designed with vision and flair, taking in the majority of the land through high glass windows allowing plenty of natural light in to the home. The home features an eclectic and appealing mix of building materials (including ship lapped weatherboard, Grampian Sandstone, corrugated zinc iron and polished concrete) that allows for the country feel with modern touches.

A large entrance lobby leads you into a home of elegantly proportioned spaces designed to facilitate a growing family. Doors which open out to extensive decking provide a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing the relationship between the house and its exquisite setting which will equally appeal to those seeking serenity and to children seeking adventure.

The kitchen is well positioned to the living zones with granite bench tops, plentiful storage, clean lines and a simple black and white palette. Along with a large butler's pantry and top-of-the range appliances, a large island bench is a multi-functional addition for the family space as well as an entertainer's hub. The Master bedroom is a hideaway incorporating fantastic wardrobes and large, inviting en-suite.

Down a short set of stairs can be found another large living area, and three more double bedrooms. This second living-and-bedroom zone offers an ideal retreat for children of all ages as well as presenting irresistible accommodation for visiting guests and family. Comfort through all seasons is guaranteed with double glazing throughout the home which has been cleverly designed for summer cooling and winter heating.

Amenities are completed with a large separate laundry/utility space, fantastic garaging, sheds, workshop areas and a separately accessed office/study which provides an abundance of work-from-home options. The home is flanked by a large dam and attractive wetlands; home to an assortment of herons, ducks and cormorants, and at dusk, alive with the chorus of frogs. Properties like this are very rare so be sure to book your inspection asap!
