Quintessential country charm defines ‘Carinya’, a rustic mudbrick cottage positioned on 4157sqm (approx.) in the hamlet of Carlsruhe, nestled in the foothills of the Macedon Ranges. Beautifully preserved and presented by the current owners, bespoke interiors include textural elements such as sisal carpet and striking herringbone brick floors. Charismatic features include a warming Pittsburgh pot belly fire in the spacious lounge room and a wood fireplace in the open plan living and dining room, perfect for cosy winter days, and timber framed windows and French doors offer memorable garden outlooks throughout. A separate newly renovated studio complete with a living room, bedroom and luxurious ensuite with free-standing bath and heated floors creates great potential for zoned family and multi generational living, as well as short term accommodation if desired. Raked timber ceilings highlight the two upstairs bedrooms with built in robes, and the main bathroom also comes with a shower and bath. Cool in summer and warm in winter thanks to the efficient mudbrick design, additional features include split system air conditioning, elegant soaring, timber lined ceilings and bespoke cabinetry, a laundry, water tanks and a bore and extensive garden irrigation. The garden is a true haven, with a variety of places to enjoy outdoor entertaining. Lounge by the firepit, dine on the terrace, or just sit under the verandah and admire the exquisite established gardens, enjoying a tranquil connection with nature. The location is superb, only five minutes to Kyneton, two minutes to the Calder freeway and 50 minutes to Melbourne. Carinya is Aboriginal for a happy and peaceful home and 31 Hillboro St, Carlsruhe is certainly that. ** We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable, however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
