Modern rustic décor, solid timber floors throughout, large open fire place, romancing fleur de lis, walls of sage and earthy tones it creates a sense of calmness which is complemented with a fusion of 19th century French and Australian antiques and vintage objects invites to a harvest; share food and laughter and uncork a bounty for those you love. Open the French doors and you will find yourself on larger wrap around deck where your backdrop is the Wombat State Forest, descend the stairs and explore your private 1.6 acres of established gardens with their European influence that connects with the Swiss Italian heritage of the area. Immerse yourself in your environment by ambling around the garden that is filled with grape vines, fruit orchard, tumbling roses, cottage garden and your own private olive grove you will quickly understand why its Hepburn's Hidden Gem. Sit quietly in the garden and enjoy the sounds of Kookaburras laughing in the treetops, watch the Honey-eater birds go about their business, and wait for the Kangaroos to arrive for there evening feed. This modern rustic family house is a short 3-minute drive from Daylesford or Hepburn Bathhouse and Spa.
