The home is a modern and modular architecturally designed building with a timeless mid-century interior. Set back from the street, it takes advantage of the incredible vista from the top of the hill, providing complete privacy for guests to arrive, relax and recharge. Kirkwood offers a fabulous open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area. A wood fire, reverse cycle air conditioning, Bluetooth Bose speaker, and a Smart TV loaded with all features are there for you to access. The entertainer will appreciate the two outdoor entertaining areas, both offering a unique and special outlook. The 900 mm oven and outdoor cooking facilities add to the ease of entertaining. A home designed by an artist and a cook, make sure you peek in all the cupboards, the owners have thought of everything to help create the perfect stay. You will find a cocktail shaker, champagne flutes, platters for extravagant cheese boards, as well as a casserole dish for those adventurous enough to try their hand at sourdough bread making! Artworks by the owner and their close friends throughout the home create a feeling of intimacy and a bespoke space. The view is breathtaking! The modern design of the home and the gorgeous landscaping are sympathetic to the surroundings, with the garden growing overtime to frame it and the view it commands. It’s the kind of space you want in such an awe-inspiring area. It embraces the landscape, and you can enjoy it no matter what time of year. A 5-minute stroll to the centre of Clunes and the Wesley School Campus at the end of Bath Street, it is located in an ideal position to explore this quaint town. A highlight for many guests when staying at Kirkwood is watching the sunrise. Experience it from the comfort of your bed. Pull the curtains to expose the floor to ceiling windows and doors and gaze out and across the private courtyard. Or you can spread out in the lounge, taking advantage of the full-width sliding doors to watch the changing colours across the valley, listening to the birds herald the new day. With stunning gardens and a country view, this quiet locale and minimalist mid-century interiors are sure to inspire or bring you the serenity you deserve.
