59 Ellandee Crescent, Macedon, Vic 3440

A sprawling ranch-style family home in an idyllic bush setting, 'Katandra' is true to its namesake, with 6340m2 (approx.) of stunning grounds intentionally planted to create a genuine birdlife sanctuary. 

Fronted by a circular driveway, a full-width bullnose veranda provides an impressive introduction to the beautiful brick home where French windows, ornate ceiling roses, and Tassie Oak architraves and skirtings impart classic elegance to the expansive residence, with glorious garden outlooks from every vantage point. 

Warmed by a wood-fuelled fireplace, the living area flows to the meals and kitchen, with an additional dining room and lounge with 2nd wood fire - allowing plenty of space for the entire family. The kitchen is equipped with generous benches and cabinetry, a 900mm upright oven/5-zone cooktop, and a dishwasher. 

Accommodation of four bedrooms and two bathrooms includes a master bedroom with a walk-in robe and luxe fully tiled ensuite with a niched shower, stone benchtops, and heated towel rail. But the absolute highlight of this property are the magnificent grounds. A pergola provides wonderful outdoor entertaining facility whilst allowing seamless indoor-outdoor transition to the formal garden.

Lush lawns, a profusion of spring bulbs, established European trees, and trellised arbours imbue a sense of romance to the cascading garden as it graduates to pure bushland. Enjoy sightings of kangaroos, koalas and echidnas while basking in the loveliness of the abundant bird life. 

A garden to fall in love with, it hosts resident cockatoos, king parrots, lorikeets, blue wrens, thorn bills, fantails, and kookaburras, to name a few. There's also a fernery, and excellent infrastructure including a 75,500 litre water tank, woodshed, storage shed, veggie beds, and a chook house, while the house includes a double garage, and 2 split systems.

The special setting is exquisitely peaceful and private without compromising on convenience, just a short drive to Macedon train station, Mr. Café and Red Door Café, Jubilee Hall, and Macedon Primary School, with nearby freeway access providing effortless access to Melbourne's CBD or Macedon Ranges townships. Blissful birdlife beauty!
