Architect-Designed Cedar Retreat on Half an Acre

Designed by acclaimed local builder Ewald Jeske, this beautiful Western Red Cedar home sits peacefully amongst established trees and a flourishing cottage garden, offering a lifestyle defined by nature, light and relaxed indoor-outdoor living.

Set on approximately half an acre in one of Mount Macedon's most picturesque pockets, the property feels wonderfully private, with winding garden paths, mature plantings and leafy outlooks that create a true sense of retreat.

The warmth and character of Western Red Cedar architecture is evident throughout, blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Inside, the home is filled with natural light and inviting living spaces centred around an updated kitchen that combines practicality with modern style. Home cooks will love the six burner gas cooktop and electric oven, and practicality of a two drawer Fisher and Paykel dishwasher. A cosy wood fire set in a feature brick surround and hearth is the centre piece of the living room, with its soaring timber ceiling overlooked by the upstairs gallery area.
Double glazing throughout ensures year-round comfort, creating a home that is cosy in winter and cool through the warmer months.

Two generous decks extend the living spaces outdoors. The north-facing deck captures beautiful natural light and is perfect for long lunches or afternoon relaxation, while the east-facing deck welcomes the morning sun " ideal for coffee amongst the trees. Both are fitted with retractable electric awnings, allowing you to enjoy outdoor living comfortably throughout the seasons.

Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across two levels, with three bedrooms positioned to take advantage of the garden surrounds. A separate study provides work from home opportunity or additional bedroom space. Two updated bathrooms are located downstairs including a practical bathroom and laundry combination to create a functional and efficient space for everyday living. An additional powder room upstairs provides even more versatility.

Outside, the gardens are a true highlight. The classic Stephen Ryan inspired cottage garden setting offers colour, texture and seasonal beauty, with meandering paths and peaceful nooks with seating to enjoy the changing seasons. Established trees and a charming chook house adding a touch of country living. Tank water supports the gardens, making it easy to maintain the lush surrounds.

A double garage/shed provides excellent storage, workshop space or secure parking.

Located moments from Mount Macedon's renowned walking tracks, cafés and wineries, this distinctive character home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a relaxed Macedon Ranges lifestyle surrounded by nature.
