Designer living in private and tranquil surrounds

TUCKED away in the secluded peaceful Bellbrae hinterland is an absolutely stunning home in natural surrounds that make semi-rural lifestyle living so popular.

Set on a 12-acre property, “Chipinwood” at 415 Nortons Road offers the perfect setting, combining the beauty of natural bush, open grasslands, landscaped gardens and ample ground water surrounding an amazing home of elegance and unrivalled luxury.

Presently on the market with One Agency Torquay, director Shaun O’Callaghan said the property was a hidden oasis in the area of traditional farmland and natural bushland the makes up the Bellbrae hinterland.

“As you drive off the quiet country road and enter this property, you are immediately drawn into an oasis type setting that leads to one of the most spectacular country homes I have seen,” Mr O’Callaghan said.

“The effort the owners have put into creating a home that you always look forward to coming home to is truly amazing.

“This property represents ultimate lifestyle living in a private and tranquil part of Bellbrae that is still within easy reach of Geelong, Torquay and the beach.”

Polished concrete floors and high ceilings on entry set the tone for this David Seeley-designed renovation, which perfectly blends old with new, and natural elements with creature comforts.

The kitchen boasts an Aga stove, walk-in pantry and stunning stone benches, finished with a bold black palette – a theme seen throughout the house and most remarkably in the sleek main bathroom.

Each of the four double-bedrooms are well appointed – the master and a second bedroom offering deluxe en suites.

A recently added guest wing with sun-lit gallery leads to a further two bedrooms with window seats offering a relaxing outlook.

Outside, the attention to detail and craftmanship is seen in the carefully manicured gardens, including a long tree-lined driveway, two vegetable gardens and an orchard all serviced by the plentiful water supply.

The property also plays host to a large dam surrounded by landscaped gardens and extensive plantings of ironbarks and snow gums, a spacious garage, shearing shed and powered work shed.

Inside, year-round comfort is assured with an open fire, a sleek French cast iron wood burner, double-brick exterior and north facing double-glazed windows.

Only a short drive to the bustling metropolis of Geelong and the pristine beaches of Torquay and Anglesea, Nortons Road offers the future inhabitants an idyllic and peaceful lifestyle complemented by complete privacy.
