"Artistry on Acreage" 4Acs - Solar passive Max Pritchard Design – Magnesium Pool & Pavilion – 4-Bay Shed – Orchard – Sublime Natural Setting


On 4 naturally cocooned acres, this Max Pritchard architectural design gives serenity full reign as it frames every view, creates an entrance, yet leaves the slightest imprint on a lock-and-go lifestyle a stone's throw to Stirling.

Built in 2014, the home's unfussy sophistication owes its depth of thought to Max's long-admired ingenuity for finding every view-grabbing aspect; here, he's done it again.

North-facing sunlight, 18.6kW of solar, double glazing, hydronic and underfloor heating, plus a Tesla charging station are but a hint of this striking home's eco-friendly forward thinking.

Basket Range stone exteriors join beautifully weathered hardwood cladding to create a living statement that's as relevant as ever for the seclusion-seeker, holidaymaker, or family who gathers seasonally.

Follow the contouring Form Design landscape down to the bonfire pit, the level marquee-ready green overlooking the winter creek and dam edged by oaks and willow trees, and the solar-heated, fully tiled magnesium pool and resort-style pavilion – sashaying from pool deck to drinks and bonus outdoor powder room.

This is a property that makes forever, spectacular. 

For the farmer or car buff, a 4-bay steel-framed shed with high clearance auto roller doors adds exceptional scope to a property that also says you needn't do anything at all…

Into the home, Blackbutt timber floors, polished concrete, art-worthy white wall spaces, and double-height glass soar to scale for soothing impact. 

You'll circulate around the kitchen's concrete island, Smeg appliances, cocktail bar and dual Vintec bar fridges, duck away to a private home office, or seek out the alfresco with retractable awning, Smeg gas BBQ, and tranquil hills and pool views.

Open plan living graduates to the Cheminees Philippe fire, flanked by soaring flipper windows and glazed perimeters of calm. The master suite nearby quietly journeys the gangway to its own visual sanctuary featuring well-appointed wall-to-wall walk-in robes, an open plan designer ensuite, a bath soak and rural views.

Downstairs lives your way against a luxe bathroom, cellar, custom and under house storage, plus up to 3 more bedrooms - or 2 and a 2nd living/guest studio - each reserving magical views. 

Country extras include a chook house, compost bays, irrigated vegetable tubs, and a prolific orchard of avocado, apple, peaches, figs, citrus, feijoa, and pomegranates; what a way to disconnect from the world, and recharge for life…
