13 Monks Hill Road, Chewton, Vic 3451

Privately set within 4.23 acres (1.71 ha) of glorious Australian bush and native gardens brimming with stately eucalypts, seasonal wildflowers, birdsong and native fauna, this craftsman-built and superbly finished family home is the perfect antidote for the hectic pace of today’s life.

Designed for stylish and relaxed living with an indoor/outdoor focus, from first sight, the appeal is instant. With its sympathetic exterior palette, the home blends seamlessly with its surroundings. Step from the wide, covered verandahs which embrace the home to an interior where attention to detail has been met at every turn. The beautiful Mahogany floor flows throughout, with the already evident sense of space and light that the home’s high ceilings and feature windows provide; the feeling immediately warm and inviting.

Fanning off the entrance foyer are two beautifully appointed bedrooms each with BIR, one with French doors to the north-facing verandah. In keeping with split-level design, a few steps takes you to the main level and the generously proportioned family living and dining zone. Cathedral ceilings and an impressive European wood-fire heater are key features.
A wall of glass with wide sliders both seamlessly blends the interior with its beautiful surroundings and instantly connects the interior with the outdoors where you can relax, dine and entertain on the expansive, covered alfresco patio, surrounded by native gardens and enjoy property and Mount Alexander views.

Overlooking the family area, the designer galley kitchen will surely impress. Stained timber veneer cabinetry incorporates premium appliances under sweeping white stone benchtops. There’s a large WIP and direct access to the integrated twin garages. Also at this level is a stylish family bathroom in neutral tones plus a well-appointed laundry with storage and third toilet.

Atop a short flight of stairs from the main family area is the cleverly crafted adult retreat comprising an inviting premier suite with WIR, ensuite, a light-filled sitting room / fourth bedroom, and separate study with elevated northerly views across the property and Chewton village. In addition to the home’s lifestyle attributes are numerous additional highlights including superior quality fixtures and fittings, ducted evaporative cooling, ceiling fans, storeroom/workshop, mains power, gas hot water, town water and traditional sewerage treatment plant to treat waste water. For discerning buyers seeking a superior quality lifestyle in an idyllic and very private setting, this beautiful offering more than delivers the promise.

The Castlemaine Diggings National Park borders the property, bringing direct access to the Park’s peaceful walking trails. Chewton’s primary school, swimming pool, sports oval and Red Hill Hotel are less than 5 minutes away, major regional centres Castlemaine and Bendigo are 10 and 30 minutes away respectively. Bus services to town and local schools are available close by.
