Heart of the Garden
SOLD BY Morrison Kleeman - The home of garden designer David Kirkpatrick provides a rare opportunity to own one of the most beautiful and sustainable gardens in Australia. Set on a secluded 2000 square metre allotment, or half an acre (approx.), on a private no through road, this is a lifestyle opportunity like no other. Only minutes from all of the amenities of central Eltham, including the train to Melbourne, you will feel as though you are in a world of your own.
David, a highly regarded garden expert, published author, garden writer and TV presenter, has created a sanctuary that would take many hundreds of thousands of dollars and many years to re create. No expense has been spared to design a glorious and abundant space where sustainable garden principles meets classical garden design.
The refreshing and sparkling, organically shaped pool is simply divine. Surrounded by expertly laid crazy paving, in a combination of sandstone and slate, this area with its large adjacent deck, will provide hours of relaxation and fun for your family and friends.
A series of magnificent, raised garden beds and steps, constructed from bluestone, ensure there is a cascading array of luscious produce available all year round. Even the chook house has been built superbly and sustainably to fit in with the overall design vision, proving that a garden can be productive and look gorgeous at the same time.
With Boston Ivy covered arches and walls, leading you to a tranquil meditation pond and garden, you will feel an overwhelming sense of peace and luxurious privacy. You may never want to escape on holiday again. The property has been planted with a stunning orchard which includes over 30 productive fruit and nut trees, including cherry, apple, plum, avocado and walnut. The bounty of the garden is supported by a 120,000 litre water tank. David's lifetime of commitment to sustainable and beautiful gardens shines through every inch of this amazing space- it is a priceless gift to its new owner.
Now to the house!
A wide, sunny balcony nestled in the tree-tops introduces you to an expansive open-plan living area. Finished with timber floors and with floor to ceiling windows on either side, it wraps around a kitchen fitted with quality stainless steel appliances to create the warm and welcoming hub of the house.
Its central position effectively zones the main bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in robe and a large study, the ideal work-from-home space, from the remaining bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Located on the ground level and is a generously proportioned rumpus room. An excellent space for the kids to enjoy their own space, it enjoys the ease and convenience of internal and extra access to create a brilliant workspace if desired.
Further highlights include ducted heating, split system units, a versatile wine cellar/storeroom/shelter, a watering system, family-size fitted laundry, three story cubby the kids will adore, plenty of off-street parking and under house storage.
This glorious property has it all. Space, privacy, beauty and easy access to all Eltham has to offer.
The new owner of this home will be truly blessed, living in peace, surrounded by the heart of one of Australia’s most beautiful gardens
