Hurstbridge 40 Hoebergin Lane

'Kunungara'

Forget clinical contemporary - this magnificent mudbrick homestead incorporates the most beautiful of recycled elements over two storeys within an expansive country garden. It offers 100% privacy with dream views to the Kinglake ranges and remnant bushland from every window and French door. If this was not enough, there is a separate, totally unique, 18 square, self-contained two bedroom studio with a massive workshop and office with panoramic views below it. 18 pristine acres of bush, including large dam and Cherry Tree Creek, surround the property, and yet Hurstbridge Train Station is only 3 kms away.

Designed and built by architect Robert Marshall in 1974, the main homestead incorporates huge volumes over three principal living areas with stunning timbers, double oven slow combustion stove, handmade bricks, wrought iron light fittings by Matcham Skipper and feature glass elements. Yet it features modern travertine tiled bathrooms and a truly lovely kitchen with walk-in pantry, new stainless steel appliances and stone and timber benchtops. Wrapping around the home on all sides is a 3 metre wide verandah perfect for long lunches and daydreaming. There are so many features to this home - five bedrooms, including the main with dressing room, ensuite and sauna. There is an elegant study with fireplace, a rumpus with pool table, fireplace and full kitchenette with granite and timber benchtops, and a formal lounge with cathedral double height ceiling and massive fireplace. The open kitchen/meals/family room is the central hub of this home with a huge inglenook to snuggle up in front of in the winter months. The huge mud room with extra shower and toilet are super practical for family living. Extras include under-stairs walk-in cellar/storage, security system, detached double garage, dog run and storage sheds.

Outside, the 2 acre (approx.) house garden features a solar heated in-ground salt chlorinated pool with spa and wading pool, children's playground, treehouse, lovely plantings, two orchards and vegie patch (with dam irrigation to keep it beautiful).

This is a home to fall in love with, where peace and fresh air provides the perfect family environment, and there is a warmth to every element. Hilltop views and a wonderful country lifestyle within easy reach of the city await you.
