Experience the warmth and tranquillity of country living, where natural charm meets modern convenience in this inspiring mudbrick masterpiece. Nestled on a generous 4047sqm block against the dramatic backdrop of the slopes and peak of Mount Riddell, the two-storey sanctuary is a true reflection of quality and refined design offering a haven for family life and connection with nature. 
Crafted by locally renowned master builder, Max Carter, it celebrates the harmony of natural materials with pure sophistication. Its post and beam mudbrick construction incorporates recycled iron bark timbers, reclaimed from a wool processing plant in NSW after a century of service there, Mountain Ash flooring and staircase, Kanmantoo stone pavers from Adelaide under the verandahs, and sandstone surrounding the wood heater. Custom built elements such as the entry door, period door hardware from France, and the Mountain Ash staircase add unique touches throughout and a story to be told at every turn.
Soaring ceilings and spacious, open plan living areas welcome family gatherings and quiet moments alike, with framed verdant views enhancing the relaxing and inviting atmosphere. Rich in the warmth of its natural palette, the interiors beautifully cater for daily living and entertaining with two distinct living spaces, a gourmet kitchen topped in Jarrah and accompanied by a roomy walk-in pantry, and an easy connection to the covered verandahs and expansive garden beyond. Zoned bedrooms, serviced by two bathrooms and three toilets, offer flexibility up to five bedrooms with the fifth currently used as a home office, and the master featuring a walk-in robe, an ensuite, and a remarkable view of the mountain.
The newly installed ducted reverse cycle heating and cooling system keeps the home cozy in winter and cool in summer, making it a comfortable retreat year-round.
Flourishing gardens deliver a sustainable lifestyle of thriving vegetables and assorted fruit trees, and the easy care open lawn invites play for days. There is plenty of space for hobbies, crafts, and storage in the garage/workshop, with additional parking available in the carport, long driveway, and easy access to the rear yard with full fencing all around.
Located just a short drive from Healesville, this home offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to all the essentials. This is a place to create memories, a retreat that celebrates the beauty of natural materials, and a rare opportunity to embrace a simpler, more fulfilling way of life for you and your family.
