Built in 2012, 'La Bella Vita' enjoys a Mediterranean influence and features established gardens, exceptional landscaping and the best of indoor-outdoor living - striking a commanding presence in a premium equine & rural lifestyle pocket between Metropolitan Melbourne and Regional Geelong.

Presented "turn-key" ready for the astute buyer to enjoy, the home is set well-back from the road behind automatic gates and features a noble row of established olive trees lining the driveway upon entry.

Featuring 5 bedrooms (two with WIR's, others with BIR's), 2 luxurious bathrooms (ensuite to master bedroom), an expansive parents' retreat/lounge plus a spacious open plan living/dining room which effortlessly flows to an expansive outdoor entertainment space.

The gourmet kitchen is well-designed featuring a stone island bench/breakfast bar, 900mm Smeg freestanding electric oven, Smeg gas cooktop & rangehood, Bosch dishwasher, walk-in-pantry, an abundance of storage and stylish designer pendant lighting. This kitchen and living area space is certainly the hub of the home with views over the tennis court, pool, manicured lawns and gardens, with the added bonus of a gorgeous You Yangs backdrop.

This property is an entertainers' paradise enjoying an undercover decked alfresco area with built-in speakers/surround sound, extended decking under the shady grapevine arbour and an outdoor BBQ area with limestone paving and bar amenities for afternoon summer drinks and family gatherings.

Externally the home enjoys great flexibility with a multitude of outdoor spaces including an in-ground 11.4 metre solar heated swimming pool (temperature controlled), championship sized synthetic grass floodlit tennis court, golf putting and chipping green, manicured lawns, a small vineyard which could easily be reinstated, landscaped gardens & veggie gardens (fully irrigated off tank water) and an established orchard with a variety of fruit trees (olive, fig, passionfruit, apple, pear, plum, apricot, almond & quince).

Equine & hobby farm enthusiasts will enjoy the straightforward & functional layout of the property with the main house block sufficiently fenced-off, whilst the 3 main paddocks offer plenty of space for a couple of horses or a variety of animals (sheep, alpacas, etc).

The rear machinery shed behind the tennis court offers plenty of flexibility as either a workshop with plenty of space for car or home storage, or alternatively could certainly be converted into horse stables (2 stalls) plus an internal tack room area, with the adjoining carport for float parking or further storage.

For further comfort the home is serviced by Breezair ducted evaporative cooling, Braemar ducted gas heating (4 zones), boutique plantation shutters, solar hot water, town water, mains power electricity plus 6.5kW solar (24 panels), 75,000L tank water (4 rainwater tanks for gardens/veggies) and automatic gate entry (with secure entry keypad).
