127 Falloons Road, WoodendVIC

Have you imagined days filled with fresh air, serene surroundings, the beautiful harmony of local bird and wildlife in a sustainable lifestyle property which allows you to live at one with Nature? Then this character-filled, architect designed, 3 bedroom mudbrick home may just be for you. Lovingly renovated by its builder owner, it is beautifully nestled within 35 acres of stunning native woodlands, cleared land and English gardens.

Built in the 1980’s the then one-bedroom energy efficient house took four years to complete, with the mud bricks made on site and ‘borrowed’ from the property’s own environment. Today, the home is an inviting and comfortable space, internally bathed in natural light thanks to its clerestory and tall windows. The skilfully-laid brick floors and thick mudbrick internal walls, have acoustic qualities and high thermal mass that make the home toasty warm in winter and very cool on summer days, whilst the soaring vaulted ceilings and huge seven metre-high old bridge beams add a rustic architectural charm to the space which is interpreted beautifully by the elegance of these organic building materials.

The floor plan is complemented by a lavish wow-factor kitchen with extravagantly rich, honed and polished granite; country style porcelain sink and fabulous Falcon stove – the envy of any cook. Colourful hand-made Italian splashback tiles add to the richness of this space where you would love to spend time cooking for guests and family. The adjoining meals and family room for relaxed, informal living has a slow combustion heater, and one of the spots where you can watch the birdlife come to feed at the end of the day. The entrance leads to the more formal dining room with its backdrop of soaring vaulted ceiling and full-length windows. This space merges into the large main living area also with vaulted beamed ceilings and slow combustion heater.

There are two large bedrooms on the ground floor, and a gorgeous bathroom with claw foot bath, whilst the huge master bedroom space takes up the whole of the mezzanine, and has raw timber flooring, timber beams and ample room for your office or parents retreat. The stipple laminate built-in robes and large storage cabinetry divide the bedroom space and melds into the very attractive ensuite with its brightly coloured tiles, double shower and separate black toilet. You can also efficiently work from home with wi-fi throughout the house via satellite connection.

All rooms have French doors leading out to the wide black butt decks surrounding the home, and covered entertaining deck for all-season use, perfect to take in the garden and views beyond. The English gardens of conifers, rhododendrons, deciduous trees and other plantings are a haven for finches, rosellas and parrots especially at feeding time. Also outside you will find the separate laundry and remote controlled double garage.

Other features of the home and property include: split system heating and cooling in each bedroom; a live feed 5 camera security system, wi-fi connection to all rooms, fire pit area, solar remote front gates; garden sprinkler system, sealed tracks throughout the property; woodshed, two dams, one of which is overlooked by a fabulous cubby house with merbau decking that the kids (and even big kids!) would love with its rope bridge, fireman’s pole at each end, plus 3 metre slide and cargo net.

The extensive, two storey, fully insulated American barn complex has trenched power and data capability, an office, workshop, as well as a full bathroom upstairs. It would have to be the envy of any home business, tradesman or vintage car enthusiast with its massive storage space and an endless amount of power points and lighting. Its balcony is the viewing platform for watching the sun go down and the regular sightings of resident kangaroos, wombats and echnidas.

The blend of cleared and pristine native woodland has approximately 7 to 8 acres dedicated to a wild life corridor. The environmentally responsible family home, will be extremely attractive to those seeking a quiet refuge, yet still within easy access to the big smoke and airport - if you feel you must.
