590 Old Tolmie Road Barwite VIC 3722

Enjoy late-afternoon drinks under the leafy pergola, with the sun setting over the ornamental dam ... embrace this magnificent home with a grand design to suit your lifestyle. It all began 18 years ago, as a blank canvas and a dream and today, this private estate reveals a Taylor Engineering-designed, rammed earth home full of character and charm. This sanctuary offers serenity and seclusion and an opportunity to connect with the land in its natural state whether it be century-old gum tree or a productive, organic vegetable patch.

Crafted from timeless materials such as rammed earth, iron and salvaged timbers (all with a story), this home is a clever collaboration between old and new, providing you with every comfort, while still embracing it's country heart. The North-facing windows flood sunlight in the adjoining living, kitchen and dining spaces, with clinging glory vines adjusting the temperature according to the seasons, while the brand-new kitchen is ready to host parties and family gatherings.

Outside, hand-laid recycled stone, timber and whimsical gardens lead to two covered outdoor entertaining options. There are a variety of fish in the large dam, an exercise/art studio and your very own natural rock gorge. The country garden parts ways to provide space and level terrain fit for a tennis court or pool (STCA), with plenty of flat land for four-legged friends, if you don't want to play on the man-made/mown 9-hole golf course! Fall in love here and connect with the High Country without even leaving your property.
