Agent’s thoughts on "Candle Bark Cottage"
Filled with an abundance of irresistible romantic grandeur and nestled within a verdant bushland setting, this picturesque residence is the culmination of considered design, traditional charm and bespoke luxury that is the pinnacle of living in Victoria’s spa country. A beautifully planned and expertly executed floorplan encompasses a north-facing, open plan living and dining space, underpinned by the warmth and charm of wormy chestnut timber floors, framed by the richness and detail of exposed timber, stone and soaring ceilings that bathe the space in light and provide a myriad of textures to enjoy. A delightful farmhouse kitchen featuring waterfall stone benchtops and custom complements the living and dining space perfectly and offers the ideal vantage point for entertaining and relaxing in style. Three spacious bedrooms provide personalised accommodations for everyone and invite privacy and rest. The detailing of shiplap walls, cathedral ceilings, use of natural materials and custom features is breathtaking.

The owners’ thoughts on "Candle Bark Cottage"
The seclusion and privacy, whilst being so close to town and the surrounding attractions ensures your own piece of paradise that is undisturbed by the goings-on of the outside world. One of our favourite spaces is the upstairs bedroom that opens out to the private balcony where we can take in an elevated perspective of the property and surrounding bushland. We also enjoy the togetherness of the open plan living and dining space that effortlessly encompasses the surrounding outdoor entertaining areas to truly create a sense of welcoming, serenity and home.
