Stately residence, five acres, picturesque setting

Set within the green rolling countryside of Gainsborough, this stately residence offers a luxurious level of country living.

This quality built home on five acres enjoys an idyllic, peaceful setting, yet is within moments of the Princes Freeway and less than fifteen minutes from Warragul.

Built by the current owners, the four bedroom bespoke home is a testament of skilled workmanship, superior finishes and appointments.

Beautiful timbers are a feature throughout the interior with both grey and red ironbark flooring, hardwood architraves, skirtings and doors plus custom crafted joinery including gorgeous, stone topped myrtle kitchen cabinetry.

Year round climate comfort is assured with zoned ducted heating and cooling, split system air conditioning in the bedrooms, underfloor heating in the wet areas and the added luxury of heated towel rails.

Spread over two levels, the versatile layout includes three secondary bedrooms, two bathrooms, powder room, open plan living area, kitchen, utilities room, mud room and an oversized double garage on the ground floor.

A verandah along the rear extends to a covered deck, ideal for warm weather dining.

The upper floor, accessed from two sets of stairs, accommodates a parents’ retreat, large home office/ studio, storeroom and a multi-purpose room, which can be used as a games or theatre room.

Trees line the driveway which leads to a turning circle at the front of the residence.

An exquisite leadlight entry door with matching side lites opens to a broad entry hall with polished floorboards and the stairs leading to the upper level.

Further along is the main living and dining area, a spacious and airy room where the warm timbers and natural light create an inviting ambience.

A box bay window in the living area frames the picturesque farmland views.

Centrepiece is the superb farmhouse kitchen with extensive cabinetry, including multiple drawers and a double pantry, a substantial island bench, dual undermount sinks and high end appliances comprising a Miele gas cook top, Neff dual wall ovens and an integrated dishwasher.

Sliding glazed doors from the dining area lead to the rear verandah and deck.

From the entry hall, a corridor leads to the three secondary bedrooms, family bathroom, powder room, linen press, utilities room and the internal access to the garage.

One bedroom has a walk-in robe, one a built-in robe and the larger of the three could be utilised as an additional living area.

The bathroom has a day spa feel with soft, sandstone coloured tiling, timber vanity, oversized semi-frameless shower and a raised spa bath.

Adjoining the garage at the rear is the mud room with inbuilt cupboards, the second staircase and a shower room with a toilet and vanity.

Vaulted ceilings are a feature on the upper level with dormer windows adding to the country homestead character.

Scenic views across rolling green farmland and the distant Strzelecki Ranges are simply stunning.
