Description: With captivating views that both inspire and soothe, this north-facing country retreat captures the essence of Tuscany amid the rolling hills of Lauriston. Only five minutes from Kyneton and within easy reach of Daylesford and Malmsbury. Set on approximately 4.78 hectares (11 acres), the property greets you with a sweeping 500-metre driveway framed by post-and-rail fencing and flourishing olive grove. At its crest, a handcrafted mudbrick and weatherboard home sits harmoniously in the landscape, designed to maximise natural light, sustainability, and connection to the land. Inside, generous proportions and earthy textures create an atmosphere of calm. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area flows effortlessly to the outdoors, where expansive glazing captures sweeping views across the valley. Polished concrete floors ground the interiors, while a wood fire brings warmth and charm to the main living zone. The crisp white kitchen, complete with stone benchtops, 900mm freestanding oven, stainless-steel dishwasher and wraparound rural vistas forms the heart of the home. Nearby, a handcrafted wine cellar nestles under the staircase, offering the perfect spot for treasured bottles. Upstairs, each bedroom features tranquil outlooks and private deck access. The main suite enjoys morning light and captivating views, while the middle bedroom or study provides a peaceful vantage point over the orchard and olive rows below. Outdoors, the romance of European country life unfolds, sunlit terraces shaded by weeping mulberries, wisteria in bloom, and manicured garden beds giving way to distant hills and rows of over 600 olives offering potential for a primary production enterprise. Two large sheds (one with concrete floor and power), vegetable beds and an orchard of established fruit trees support a self-sufficient lifestyle, complemented by a 6-megalitre potable bore and 2-megalitre river entitlement which help to drought proof the property. A 3.5kW solar system, tank water, and double carport complete this well-considered country escape. 459 Lauriston Road is a property of rare natural beauty and integrity. A sanctuary where life slows, the seasons matter, and every detail reflects a love of land and light.
