Noble Knight Real Estate branch manager Anthony Knight says the property at 73 Limestone Rd, Yea represents the sophistication of country living.

The vendors, and original owner-occupiers of the home, worked closely with a Yarra Glen builder on a design by his draftsman son to have their dream country home brought to life.

“We built this home to complement the land on which it stands and to take full benefit of the spectacular views that encompass this home and property,” the vendor says. “The property is north-south facing with expansive views to the south down the Murrindindi Yea River Valley encompassing the Black Range.”

The view looks like something out of a postcard.

While incorporating the surrounding views was a key component of the home’s design, the vendor says using natural materials was important.

“The draftsman was aligned with my wife’s vision to use timber and rock within the home,” he says.

“The home has been constructed in a large homestead design with large rooms and tall ceilings making the home contusive to open plan living.”

Exuding rustic charm and elegance, the four-bedroom home features striking stonework, timber floorboards, and exposed timber trusses, these expansive open-plan living spaces are evident throughout.

The open plan layout of the home allows you to take in the views.

With double-glazed windows that capitalise on the surrounding views and generate natural light throughout, the vendor says this is one of his and his family’s favourite features of the home.

“In the morning the sun
streams through the kitchen window and lights up the family room. In the afternoon the light comes through two triangular windows, and it creates a beautiful glow,” he says.

“Also being double glazed, the house is very cosy when the weather gets cold.”

The property is perfectly designed for a peaceful lifestyle with plenty of space for livestock, horses, or hobby farming.

With four fenced paddocks, steel stockyards with loading ramps, a reliable bore and a chook enclosure, the property can be used for livestock or as a hobby farm.

Balanced with established gardens and a private in-ground swimming pool that also offers spectacular southern views, the area “creates a relaxing environment for the very best of country living,” says Knight.

Expressions of interest for the property close on November 29.
