Nestled on the fringe of Red Hill Bushlands Reserve, this hidden haven is a serene setting of solace and renewal. Steeped in 62 years of family history, it offers approximately 8 acres of land – a portion of which is beautiful, untouched woodland – and an original family home that's a testament to love and legacy.
Immersed within a tranquil wildlife corridor, 'Tumblewood' is a captivating oasis where wallabies, echidnas, and kookaburras are just a few of the various visitors that enhance the property's allure as a haven for nature lovers. Entering the property is a breeze with the convenience of two crossovers arriving at the home's garden foreground, where a mix of exotic trees from Europe and Asia are interspersed amongst natives.
Inside, this vintage residence is a veritable time warp of late-60s and early-70s style, providing a multitude of possibilities for sympathetically enhancing, extending, or rebuilding (STCA). A large living/dining area under a cathedral ceiling captures views to the east and west, enjoyed from the comfort of indoors and from a deck on each aspect, whilst the kitchen and meals area is brimming with original character. Three bedrooms comprise two with walk-in robes, and practical elements include a large bathroom, ducted heating, a workshop, and under-house storage.
Whether you honour, renovate, or start again with a contemporary vision (STCA), this opportunity is irrefutably compelling. A seasonal creek flows through the property to East Creek, and a private walking track is within the plot's native woodlands, whilst Merricks-Red Hill Rail Trail is a few hundred meters from the front gate. Positioned within a short walk to Red Hill South Village amenities, including general store, post office, Many Little Bar & Dining and The Epicurean - Red Hill. It is also minutes to world-class wineries, Red Hill Consolidated School, and just over an hour's drive from Melbourne.
