Lonsdale Park on the Yarra is a country estate for all seasons. Cradled by rolling hills on a secluded no-through road, Lonsdale Park is a resort-like property offering the best of refined country life on 53 acres plus 6 acres of Crown Land. The architecturally designed home was built in 1989 (renovated 2011) and is a contemporary design with a soft curvaceous form. A sense of harmony flows throughout the open plan design and there is a seamless connection with nature. The rooms are painted with light – soft monochromatic brush strokes that lend an ephemeral beauty. 4 well-appointed bedrooms and study overlook 2 acres of native and European gardens. Using passive solar design principles, the home is a masterclass in sustainability with solar panels and has a suite of service amenities. Watch the morning mists rise as you brew a coffee in the modern cooks kitchen with granite benchtops and Miele appliances. North facing, the sun blesses every room with living areas bathed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows. Comfort is assured with air con, an open fireplace and under floor heating. Paths meander through the exquisite gardens and sundrenched lawns invite you to soak up nature. An established biodynamic orchard is abundant with stone fruit, figs, olives and citrus, and the pond is filled with flowers, dragonflies and frogs. The Yarra River (with water rights) weaves along the boundary of the property, along with a bore, five water tanks and four dams (with boardwalk). Extensive shedding includes a huge machinery and hay shed (that would easily be converted into horse stables) and 9 serviced paddocks provide ample pasture for livestock or farming. Sweeping views toward the sunset reveal a self-contained modern studio apartment with an industrial edge. With polished concrete floors and private views, the studio features a pull-down queen bed, an industrial kitchen and a modern bathroom. It is a spacious sanctuary and potential farm stay accommodation. Featured on Channel 9’s Postcards and in Yarra and Ranges Country Life magazine. For more information SMS 40LON to 0488 824 379.
