36 Bombardieri Lane, Swan Hill, VIC, 3585, Australia

The vision behind this grand residence was truly inspirational. The focus on flexibility, liveability and tasteful architecture stamps this home as one of the regionrsquo;s most desirable.
Not only is the built form of this property first class, but the location is most peoplersquo;s dream specification - set back well off the highway, on the south side of Swan Hill, only one kilometre from town and less than four kilometres from the post office.
And for those of you who yearn for some space and privacy, the 3.4 hectare (8.3 acres) site is pure paradise - a horse or two perhaps, or maybe a small flock of sheep or goats, what about a small scale lucerne operation?
However, the main feature of this very rare property is unquestionably the brilliant residence - it is total lifestyle indulgence, with no less than six bedrooms and four bathrooms, superb family spaces and an ambience that projects the most relaxed lifestyle.
With around 46 squares of living space, the residence is huge but cleverly designed, it can be shut off in sections that allows it to be quite cosy when it suits you, and expansive when you have a crowd.
If you donrsquo;t need six bedrooms, a couple of these rooms readily double as a spacious office, hobby room, TV room or whatever your lifestyle demands.
The brilliant architectural concept is of two separate pyramids connected by a glass walkway that reduces the potential for the building to look bulky and over-weight. This architectural impact is further heightened with the northern pyramid set a little higher that the southern, and therefore the impression of less bulk yet again - extremely clever design.
The large swimming pool is a design masterpiece in its own right with three separate seating areas around the pool deck, each with its own theme. And its usage window is wide too, with solar heating to extend its usability way beyond the summer months.
Detached from the home and adjacent to the pool is a very spacious entertainment room with two walls of bifold doors to both bring the outdoors in but to access the very roomy alfresco area to the south and the long verandah overlooking the pool.
The current ownerrsquo;s family has enjoyed many large scale functions here - 18ths, 21sts, deb ball after-parties, footy club functions and so on. But mostly it has been a magnet to attract their childrenrsquo;s mates to the property for weekend sleepovers and year-round fun. It has been the centre of their familyrsquo;s universe.
The garden is impressive, but low maintenance, with sweeping lawns and well-constructed vehicle access and parking areas including a separate entrance to the property ideal for a tradie, farmer or contractor, the same people who will appreciate the large steel shed.
Seeing is believing, this will impress as a true signature family residence on acreage, on the very edge of town. Give John Monahan a call to arrange a personal inspection of possibly Swan Hillrsquo;s most liveable family residence.
