13 Maskells Hill Road, Selby, Vic 3159

If you can imagine a time gone by where homemade lemonade and cucumber sandwiches were served on the terrace whilst croquet was played on the front lawn with views as far as the eyes can see, then you can get a sense of what it may be like to be the lucky owners of Maskells Lodge. Offered for sale for the first time in 35 years, this superbly restored heritage home in the heart of the hills is nothing short of a masterpiece. The iconic Maskells Lodge sits elegantly within its expansive lawns and has been lovingly maintained with glorious original features making it a one of a kind property in this much sought after locale. The property combines the grace and style of the 19th century with all of the comforts of modern living. Add to this the absolutely breathtaking view to Cardinia Reservoir from all the living rooms, it is truly a pleasure to call this place home. Sprawled over 3 levels, this magnificent home has polished floorboards, stained glass windows, high ceilings, pressed metal on the walls and original fireplaces in all the bedrooms. The main living area is light filled and opens up on to two different entertaining areas and has water views from every angle. The galley kitchen has been built with practicality in mind and has garden views from every angle. You can cook up a storm with fresh ingredients from your garden or 20+ fruit trees including apricot, plum, orange, quince, bananas, hazelnuts and pears. There are 3 bedrooms on the main level all with BIR, a central bathroom with original pedestal basin and a cosy lounge/dining with another ornate fireplace. Upstairs is a room that lends itself to a study, home office, kids retreat or additional bedroom. Downstairs the secret spaces continue with a cellar, storage space and laundry. The grandiose wrap around verandah with its intricate period features is the jewel in the crown. Sit, relax and soak up the sounds of nature on your doorstep with ample birdlife and the familiar sound of Puffing Billy in the distance. All this could be yours. One of Selbys earliest original homes, Maskells Lodge needs to be seen to be appreciated as words simply do not do this property justice. Homes like this come on the market once in a lifetime.
