SUPERB QUALITY EXECUTIVE RETREAT OR RESORT HOME ON ACREAGE

The classically designed rendered brick, tiled roof home is a masterpiece of design, construction and material choices and it sits on an acreage of about 56 hectares (or 139 acres) that is held in two titles.
Moreover, its location is on a ridge line that rises about 80 metres above the surrounding farms from where it affords a spectacular exposure to all that is within an almost 300 degree viewing radius.
To the east and a considerable distance away are in winter the snow- capped peaks of Mounts Buffalo and Buller, while to the north are the rocky outcrops of the Warby Range National Park while in the immediate foreground is the former Lake Mokoan, now the partly water filled Winton Wetlands.
The property's location at 25 Brack Road Taminick is about midway between the strong Victorian regional centres of Benalla and Wangaratta.
Within easy reach are local established wineries of Bailey's, Booths and Auldstone and others of the Glenrowan wine region, while within a comfortable driving distance are the noted Rutherglen wine producers.
The resort-style property is only about 15 kms from the Hume Freeway at Glenrowan with bitumen road access right to the property's own road frontage.
The spectacular craftsman- built home dates from 2006 and was built when the current vendors operated a successful manufacturing business in nearby Wangaratta.
But with that interest sold subsequently the husband and wife vendors find that their long-term dream of living life to the full on this exclusive property has been upset by some recurring health problems, hence the offer for sale.
In addition to the spectacular homestead where no expense was spared to create it - the vendors say in excess of $1 million was invested in its construction - and would now be significantly higher at today's escalating materials and labour costs.
Known as Mandala at 25 Brack Road Taminick the home has an area under roof of fifty squares.
Large room sizes with high ceilings and impeccable finishes feature.
There are four king-size bedrooms, two with ensuites, plus a principal bathroom and powder room.
A classic kitchen complete with its own self-contained cool room and pantry adjoins the impressively finished cabinetry fit out, appliances and working areas.
There is a substantial living area plus a personal office and an adjoining pool room and home theatre.
Three sections of the home are zoned for efficient heating and cooling while travertine stone flooring is extensively used.
The entry is down an imposing corridor with stone walling from the portico that hosts a hand-made baronial timber door that was built to the design of the owners.
Immediately outside the homestead is an infinity swimming pool with a swim-up bar and personal spa in the best place to capture the incredible immediate and distant views over many kilometres of north east farm and mountain countryside.
Key services include an electronic household security system that allows the major wrought iron entry gates to be operated by push button.
Plus, there is a substantial array of solar panels in place to save on energy costs by solar power contributing to the mains power supply.
Within the homestead compound is attractive landscaping with low maintenance low watering needs established plants, even an orchard and a chicken coop.
There is also a substantial garage and workshop facility that is ideal for parking, storage, craft work or even a home business.
External gazebo and barbecue facilities in place are also a guest entertaining highlight.
Domestic and garden water needs are harvested into over 200,000 litres of rainwater storage.
The homestead is reached by a long gravel driveway with the land fenced into six paddocks all with stock water supplies that enable sheep or cattle, or even a couple of horses to be agisted.
Another building on the estate is a quite new two bedroom, two bathroom and a half home in its own surroundings that the vendors operate via Airbnb as the "Mandala Retreat".
Regularly booked out and ideal for couples or families, it is within an easy distance of the Winton Motor Raceway and is also regularly used in conjunction with local events, including the Wangaratta Jazz Festival and district food and wine features.
