11 Tunnel Creek Road, CherokeeVIC

A remarkable property, first settled in the 1930’s, captures your senses on every level. The entrance meanders arriving at the homestead which has the signature of the architect, Jamie Learmonth. Set in a whimsical garden setting which has evolved over time this iconic property is located on the lower slopes of the Macedon Ranges, approximately 750 metres above sea level. The garden blends intimate garden rooms, open parklands with a feature being the grid of stunning Liquid Amber trees along with established mature plantings including Silver Birch, Maples, Ash, Magnolia and mass seasonal colour of bulbs, azalea, hydrangeas and camellias and there is a beautiful inground pool.

The home offers flexible accommodation of 4 bedrooms, study and a self-contained studio, which is great for friends to stay, for B&B potential (STCA) or ideal for extended family. The centre of the home is the large living room, where you can only imagine the great times had around the open fireplace and there is additional heating provided by hydronic heating. The main bedroom is linked to the house via a sun drenched conservatory.

There is approximately 10 acres of cleared land around the home and the balance of 56 acres is pristine native habitat, ideal for horse riding or exploring on foot. There is a winter creek which flows amongst tree ferns and Rhododendrons. Fantastic infrastructure includes a machinery shed and the original 1930's timber cutters cottage in need of some TLC. Quality water supply provided by a productive bore and rainwater is stored in four 50,000 litre tanks.
