71 Main Road, Hepburn Springs, VIC, 3461, Australia

Hepburn Springs is steeped in Swiss-Italian history boasting Australia's oldest Italian built building – The Old Macaroni Factory is a neighbour, on this very same street. It was indeed the Italians who first discovered and lobbied to preserve the mineral springs of which today's spa culture is centred around.
This unique new listing, a generous double brick 'Italianate' home and the thoughtfully curated gardens embraces these beginnings and draws on the culture's very best aesthetic elements to deliver an impressive Tuscan inspired sanctuary.
Consider; exterior render in earthy tones, window shutters, decorative pillars supporting outdoor structures, artisan stained glass doors and windows and an avenue of trees.
The 963sqm (approx.) elevated property is introduced by a stunning handcrafted feature stone wall, decorative iron front gates and a stately garden with private hedging and tall pencil pines. From this fabulous vantage, take in views of the Hepburn State Forest and marvel at your dining and recreation options with first class restaurants, pubs, cafes and the iconic Hepburn Bathhouse just moments from this address.
Inside, the spacious design offers three bedrooms or two and a study if you have become accustomed to working from home in recent years. The generous main has two large BIRs on either side of the modern ensuite and enjoys private access to its own undercover, decked portico space through a set of French doors.
The further bedrooms, one with BIRs and the other with access to the rear yard, are easily able to accommodate queen size beds and sit on either side of the central family bathroom boasting a luxurious spa bath.
Step through the first living space, its large footprint incorporating a lounge and formal sitting area. Note the hardwood floors and decorative architraves. An ambient Ned Kelly wood heater invites a glass of red wine and a good book while ducted heating and a split system provide easy year-round temperature control.
A dining space and the entertainer's kitchen follow with a 900mm oven, 5 burner gas stove top, a generous combination of pot drawers and cupboards and a deep pantry. The tiled rear conservatory with bifold doors to the secure rear yard is a lovely surprise and would be an idyllic place to host this year's Christmas lunch or parties in the New Year.
Outside, discover alfresco areas; a sunny decked space and an undercover area adorned with an ornamental grape. In the garden, old world favourites delight. Beds of lavender and jasmine fragrant the air, the rose garden puts on a beautiful show and shady Europeans provide reprieve in the warmer months.
In the heart of spa country with Hepburn Springs Mineral Reserve and Daylesford on the doorstep, this property will romance many, be it family homemakers, weekenders (Air Bnb Suitable) or retirees.
