Architecturally designed by John Mitchell, this stunning residence presents an exclusive lifestyle opportunity upon approx. 2.7 acres. The north-facing living zones create sensational entertaining options, while the sprawling grounds are home to a tennis court and solar-heated swimming pool.
Set in a tightly-held pocket of Batesford, this is a rare opportunity to embrace high-end living in a country setting. The Batesford Hotel and the region's finest wineries are right at your fingertips, along with the magical Dog Rocks Sanctuary. A short drive will find you in the heart of Geelong, while superior Ring Road access means you'll be cruising over the Westgate Bridge in just under an hour. A dedicated school bus is located just footsteps from the front gate.
You'll love that established gardens surround the property to create a wonderful sense of privacy and tranquility. The solar-passive design showcases a seamless indoor-outdoor flow, with soaring raked ceilings and polished concrete floors enhancing the light-filled interiors. The open plan living/dining/kitchen zone creates a wealth of space for hosting loved ones and opens onto the north-facing deck. A gas log fireplace graces the living area, while pendant lights make a striking statement above the dining area.
The kitchen is the epitome of modern luxury with Corian waterfall benchtops, a mirror splashback and a butler's pantry. Quality appliances include an integrated Miele dishwasher, integrated Leibherr fridge/freezer, stainless steel 900mm ILVE oven/gas cooktop and QASAIR rangehood. The spacious family room also opens onto the north-facing deck, which flows to the outdoor entertaining zone and pool zone. A fully-integrated kitchenette is perfectly located to make outdoor entertaining a breeze.
The Master Bedroom creates a private retreat with a walk-in robe and lush ensuite. Two bathrooms service three additional bedrooms (two with walk-in robes, guest room with built-in robes). All three bathrooms exude luxury with floor-to-ceiling tiling and open showers, with the main bathroom also boasting a freestanding tub and Italian marble tiling. The large office will impress students and home business owners alike. Complete with a kitchenette and bathroom, the separate studio offers immense versatility as an artist's studio or teen retreat.
Other standout features include double-glazing with low-e coating, a heated slab to the bedrooms, two split-system heating/cooling units (main with three-phase power), motorized blinds, monitored security system and 2 x 30,000L water tanks. The double carport provides parking, while a large work shed will impress tradies. Buyers will also see the potential for sub-division (STCA).
