Sold Property
Inspired by a visit to his mother's ancestral village in the Lakes district of Lombardy Italy, 'Villa Cassano' was built by its current owners in 2006. It is a unique property of outstanding quality abounding with bespoke features and nestled in an exquisite setting.
Designed by a Melbourne architect Marc Dixon and built by a local master builder, the villa is situated on 5,001 square metres of land in a quiet court with lush views from inside the home across the valley to adjoining bushland.
The spacious family home is distinguished by a wealth of bespoke features including imported Italian roof tiles, art nouveau terrace balustrade crafted by Tait Decorative Iron Castlemaine, Euroa hand glazed window-sill bricks, sandstone flooring and iron fountains. The property is fully landscaped by an experienced local professional landscaper with retaining walls, gravel driveway and pedestrian pathway access surrounding the home.
The well-established garden and grounds reflect its strong Italian heritage and nestles the villa beautifully into its surroundings. The gardens include expansive lawns, pencil pines, crepe myrtle, bougainvillea, box hedges, creeping ficus, grape and passionfruit vines, a kitchen herb garden, chicken coop, productive vegetable garden and an orchard of mature fruit trees including olives, lemons, limes, cumquats, figs, quinces, apples, persimmons, pears and pomegranates, all under drip irrigation. The park-like property also has several stands of well-maintained century old native peppermint gums.
The seamless cohesion between indoor and outdoor spaces includes a formal entrance beneath an Italian style tower, a front porch that is also accessible via French doors from the formal lounge, a paved breakfast sitting area beneath a pergola accessed via French doors from the master bedroom, a large sandstone paved undercover terrace adjoining the living space, and beneath the terrace, an informal gathering / games space for relaxing with groups of family and friends.
The 40 square (approx) villa is entered via double wood panelled doors into a generous formal hallway and comprises four bedrooms, formal lounge / fifth bedroom, large living dining kitchen area with marble bench tops and 900mm gas oven, rumpus room, ensuite, bathroom, two toilets, and laundry with drying room. There is also a 2.5 car garage and a large workshop 3rd car garage that includes a wine cellar. The home is centrally heated and cooled and has ducted vacuuming. Connected services include electricity, water, sewerage, natural gas and NBN.
'Villa Cassano' is situated just 50 minutes north of the Melbourne's CBD in the highly desirable Hidden Valley Estate comprising an 18 hole golf course, restaurant and bar, heated swimming pool, gymnasium, walking and riding trails. This is a very rare opportunity to purchase a unique property of outstanding quality being offered for sale for the first time.
