174 Pine Avenue, Healesville, Vic 3777

This unique home is being offered to the market for the first time since its completion.  It has a north facing orientation, almost completely rebuilt to create a modern home of approx. 560sqm of internal living space, (excluding garaging, carport and other external structures) that would stand ready for the largest of families, multi-generational living, the perfect place to run retreats from or continue the established rural B and B retreat, options a plenty only seven minutes' drive to Healesville's centre.

Located on the outskirts of Badger Creek, with main road access, the home is discreet in nature, allowing the landscape to take centre stage.  The property is approx 15.8 acres, is well fences and offers established facilities for horses, including Barn (featuring 3 horse pens, wash bay and tack room), round yard and prepared menage area.  Seven well fenced paddocks will allow for effective management of stock and offer the chance to offer agistment, another possible income stream.

The home is alive with possibilities, at its core it offers expansive living space.  On the ground floor a comprehensive kitchen is the engine room of everyday life.  Plenty of dining space with a wood burning fireplace; a second staircase that will deliver the constant traffic of family or (guests) to the hub of this delightful property.  Living space a plenty is there, immediately at hand to the kitchen, but also allows for immediate transition to the main outdoor entertainment space and beyond.  Indoor-outdoor living executed perfectly.  Also accessed from the living space is the rec room, at more than 12m x 7 metres, this space is multi-faceted, theatre room, gymnasium, bar and pool, its all there and more. Maybe even uncover the indoor pool that lies beneath the flooring.  The ground level also offers two bedrooms and a study (could be a third bedroom if required) also a bathroom and laundry.

Moving upstairs is another spacious living/dining zone, perfect to host family members and guests who have travelled to these parts to enjoy some space of their own. Also here there are five more bedrooms, plus massage/mediation room or extra bedroom.  Four of these suites have ensuites.  Three of these suites and the Villa are situated at the east end of the building, with their own entrance and staircase, The Banksia Room on the western end also has its own wood burning fireplace.

The final piece of that vision is the separate Villa. It is the pinnacle of luxury and privacy even in this company.  A space that will ensure family members and guests will keep coming back to see you again and again.  This Villa is only three years old, and is linked to the home via an internal staircase.

The separate Villa and three suites are currently returning approx. $100,000 of gross income and are operated in house on a self-managed basis.  There is also, of course, the opportunity to operate a blended model, the family home with one or two guest rooms providing solid income to supplement the family budget.  The current owner runs a model where he does not rent accommodation for the whole year, so there remains plenty of room for organic growth in income if continued as a B and B on a year round basis!

If used as a family home, the amazing bathroom configurations, balcony aspects in a number of the bedrooms could be your opportunity to enjoy hotel style living every day!
Should you need the ultimate family weekender or are looking to take advantage of running an already established and readily expandable business, a group wishing to own retreat or perhaps you want to offer luxury equine escapes, this is the property for you to put on top of your list to view.  The possibilities are endless, all within the world famous Yarra Valley Wine region and within one hour of Melbourne.  (WWW.VISITYARRAVALLEY.COM.AU)
