1201 Romsey Road, HesketVIC

Your chance to escape the craziness of the current world and immerse yourself in a private, secluded and safe sanctuary!

A rare opportunity exists to purchase this 60-hectare private woodland oasis with a remarkable example of an Arts & Craft style home. Arts & Craft designed homes were renowned for their use of fine craftsmanship which showcased the inherent beauty of the material used, the importance of nature as inspiration and in particular the use of Art glass widows which would blur the line between inside and outside. This residence ticks all the boxes with natural wooden beams displayed throughout the house and gardens, beautiful stonework, rammed earth walls, high ceilings and gorgeous window framed garden views. The beauty and serenity of the house, its location and surroundings are simply breathtaking.

The magnificent homestead is privately sited in its own valley at the end of a 1km driveway, overlooking a majestic lake of substantial size and surrounded by an elegant Teedo Beggs designed landscaped garden setting. Relax on one of the many terraces or lawn areas that overlook the lake, dip your feet in the water while dangling them from the pier, cook up some mouth-watering wood fired pizzas in the outdoor pizza oven or be captivated by the flora and fauna when taking a walk on the forest trails.

The floorplan offers the astute buyer immense flexibility for dual living or to earn extra income if desired through B&B (STCA). The residence has been designed over 2 separate wings with a centrally located formal lounge/dining room, kitchen and magnificent adjoining atrium which overlooks the gorgeous lake. There are 9 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, separate office, a large laundry and ample storage.

The magnificent kitchen is filled with character with its finely crafted solid wood carpentry, country style AGA oven, Miele dishwasher, large walk in pantry and extensive cellar which is set adjacent to a charming informal lounge/dining room with a stunning natural stone fireplace. The home is also warmed by hydronic heating, keeping it cosy throughout the winter months.

“Hesket House’’ is situated in the popular and picturesque Macedon Ranges - a world class location only 1 hour from Melbourne and is conveniently located a short drive to iconic Hanging Rock, wineries and the boutique township of Woodend with shops, cafes, public and private schools and Vline train.
