59 Alex Thomson Drive, Wandin East, Vic 3139

The word 'unique' is used often to describe any number of properties in real estate, but rarely do you come across one that truly depicts this narrative from the time you walk-in to the time you drive out.

Designed and refurbished to be a fully self-sustaining homestead in a picturesque and serene natural environment, the property is ideally placed to provide a rare and intriguing lifestyle or could even lend itself to be operated as a bed and breakfast or artist's retreat.

A long sweeping driveway welcomes you in where landscaped gardens adorn an expansive area which incorporates a pop-up storage shed, plus a fully powered home office or study equipped with downlights and split system reverse cycle heating and cooling.

There's a real sense of originality with old railway sleepers, winding paths, outdoor art pieces, a yurt with fire pit and outdoor bath, plus incredible uninterrupted views all able to be sighted before you even get through the front door.

Inside wooden floorboards and high ceilings set the tone for this beautifully renovated 1950s masterpiece which incorporates a 100-year-old chemist counter and cobbler's bench in an amazing kitchen with 900mm stainless steel cooking and oven, 2 dishwashers, wine fridge and plenty of vintage additions.

Through to a large open living and dining space which includes a feature fireplace, split-system air-conditioning, access to the outdoors and a breath-taking outlook.

All bedrooms off the hallway have split-system reverse cycle air-conditioning while a fully updated bathroom enjoys modern tones, a walk-in shower and European laundry facilities.

The current owners have thoroughly enjoyed planting an 'A-Z' of fruit and vegetables around the property, along with an orchard of 50 fruit trees which contains most varieties of fruit and nut.

A series of pens with electrified fencing is perfect for housing livestock such as pigs, goats, sheep and chickens, all of which have lived on the property previously.

Lead light feature windows, a lead light front door, downlights and a classic wood sleeper back porch add to a property of absolute wonder and discovery.

Cleverly secluded yet with connection to Yarra Valley restaurants and vineyards, Seville, Mt Evelyn and Lilydale and with easy access to the Maroondah Highway, Eastlink and the Eastland shopping and entertainment precinct.
