2-10 Douglas Street, Leopold, Vic 3224

Experience the tranquillity of semi-rural living on this expansive 4.68-acre (approx.) property in Leopold, conveniently located just a short 15-minute commute from central Geelong. This architecturally designed three-bedroom home, built for a local artist and his family in the early 1980s, offers a unique blend of spacious living and natural beauty, nestling low into the landscape with minimal impact on the land.

The thoughtfully designed and well-considered home includes two distinct living and dining areas that provide ample space for a growing family, with a wood-burning heater in the north-facing family room and a stunning beaten brass fireplace in the formal lounge. The modern kitchen includes a large walk-in pantry with wall-to-wall cupboards and open shelving, featuring granite benchtops, neutral earth-toned cabinetry with a glass splashback and modern appliances. Hardwearing cork flooring features throughout the home, complemented by ceiling-height windows offering unique garden or landscape vistas from every vantage point. 

Three generously proportioned bedrooms each boast built-in robes and the master bedroom features an ensuite with a glass-framed shower and a private courtyard garden view. The remaining two bedrooms are serviced by a bathroom with tiled inset bath and vanity, a separate toilet, a unique separate shower room and a further powder room. An additional study or home office completes the layout.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a sun-filled north-facing alfresco courtyard, perfect for entertaining, that rests comfortably alongside extensive native gardens, a large chook pen and a small dam filled with water lilies. The paddock opposite has been planted with the assistance of Bellarine Landcare to encourage native birds and wildlife, and a purpose-built viewing platform at the highest point on the property offers a stunning view over Lake Connewarre. A cute summer house is a lovely spot for an aperitif and a sunset view. A double lock-up garage with a carport for a further two cars also features a workshop or studio office at the rear.

This unique property offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and single level living in an architectural style, making it an ideal home for any life stage. Explore the opportunity to own a slice of paradise in Leopold. Contact us today to inspect.
