141 Shannons Road, Mount Macedon, Vic 3441

Only a short drive from the township of Gisborne, this
beautiful property of around ten acres represents a rare
opportunity to acquire a home in tightly-held Shannon's
Road.
This secluded and peaceful property is in an area that is
one of the state's most popular weekend destinations. Not
only is there abundant wildlife, including kangaroos,
koalas, echidnas and wombats, but there are also fabulous
restaurants, wineries, cafes, galleries and markets, all
within a short drive. Melbourne is only 45 minutes away on the nearby Calder Freeway.
The four bedroom house of cream bagged brick is perfectly
oriented to capitalise on the passive solar opportunities
from the north. With full-length windows along the entire
north face of the house, the living areas, hall and master
bedroom are flooded with winter sunlight and warmth.
Smart new thermal roman blinds and pelmets throughout the
house retain warmth and effectively protect from summer
heat. A Daikin reverse-cycle split-system air conditioner, evaporative cooling, ducted gas heating and a large built-in wood heater ensure year round comfort and convenience.
The French provincial inspired kitchen with hand-painted
timber cupboards and easy-care tiled floor and bench top,
has a wall oven, pantry and double-drawer dishwasher. The
adjacent dining area shares the dark polished floorboards
that run from the entry along the hall.
The step-down living, dining and sitting rooms have
fabulous views of both the front and back gardens, and the
bush beyond. The flexible floor plan allows for this area
to be used as one very large room or several smaller
defined spaces, to cater for individual family needs.
The master bedroom has a generous walk-in-robe, a large,
light ensuite with spa bath and restful views of the
garden. The three other bedrooms have built-in-robes and
two have quiet and efficient Nobo wall-heaters.
Clever landscaping has made the most of the sheltered
aspect of the front of the house, allowing rhododendrons,
weeping exotics and conifers to thrive, creating a lush,
green garden. The sunny area to the rear of the house has
grassy expanses, perfect for recreation and play. An
elevated cedar cubby has pride of place.
A roomy timber deck, also north-facing, is protected from
the elements on three sides, and has a partial roof,
perfect for all-weather entertaining.
Three water tanks, with a total capacity of 52,000 litres
provide ample water for house and garden, while a large
shed with separate workroom and cement floor is perfect for storage or hobby use. Adjacent to it is the chicken shed and enclosure that any hen would love to call home!
There are two stables and several small paddocks that
provide the perfect setting for a pony or two, and peaceful walking trails that meander through the bushland areas of the property.
The Shannon's Road area of the Barringo Valley is highly
sought after and opportunities to acquire a property come
up very rarely, so this home is certain to attract much
interest.
