Description
This 5.5 acre property, with it's solid strawbale dwelling sits on the very edge of the regional hot spot which is Kyneton - a town which has, very recently become one of the most desirable satellite villages within the one hour of Melbourne zone.
Inspections outside given times by appointment only.
The house and land is a testament to craftsmanship in the pursuit of environmentally sustainable design. This bespoke modern house is nestled gently into a rise towards the front of the property and is surrounded by several generously proportioned lifestyle acreage blocks. It is situated at a comfortable distance from the neighbouring houses with pleasing views to and from, and whilst the hard work has been done to establish this magnificent property, the potential to further shape this piece of landscape, is limited only by your imagination.
Unique in style and rare in location, the land is situated within close proximity to Kyneton Station, central Kyneton, Piper Street and all the wonderful things which the community has to offer. At the same time, the acreage supports rural living opportunities like organic farming and the keeping of livestock (limited).
This property contains so many of the elements which are highly sort after and tightly held within this region. A visit to the property will quickly affirm the principles in which this house has been established. The fabric of the house is consistently simple with eco-friendly design employed throughout. Solar power and solar boosted hot water give occupants a positive energy return during summer, whilst the highly efficient thermal mass and solar orientation maintain warmth and comfort during the cool winter months. These elements also translate to very low running costs.
The open plan design of the house means the space is easily heated via the efficient wood burning radiant heater (Nectre Baker's Oven). Double glazed windows give generous natural day light throughout as well as contributing to the fantastic acoustic properties which are inherent to strawbale buildings.
New occupants are sure to experience the pleasure of the atmosphere which is created by this house, both inside and out. With several entertaining areas around the home, opportunities abound for entertaining, sunset watching, star gazing or just relaxing and taking in the broader natural landscape. Whatever you are doing around this magnificent property you'll find it hard to escape how snug and homely it feels. The design is practically urban on the outside whilst its modern interior is also sheltering with humility.
The town of Kyneton sells itself in terms of the listless number of services, opportunities and culture. Attractions include, Kyneton Music Festival, The Lost Trades Fair, Stockroom Gallery & arts precinct, Kyneton Agricultural Show.
This property presents a unique opportunity to join a bustling country town, spilling over with Melbourne chic. Future occupants have the chance to enjoy the urban creature comforts of a modern home within an efficient and robust country house, boasting such great potential for expansion. (With the house situated towards the top of the block, the property is even designed to allow for future subdivision of the land).
