An echo of France has been incorporated into a tranquil bush setting to create a unique picture-perfect property at Michelago.
McCallum is a grand rustic residence modelled on a Normandy artist’s barn, but localised through extensive use of ironbark and blackbutt timber.
Huge exposed timber bridge beams, magnificent vaulted timber ceilings, extensive use of recycled wood and two hand-built stone fireplaces give this property its distinctive character. That and its unrivalled location in the middle of 720 hectares of magnificent native bush, alongside pasture and naturally treed mountain country.
The property overlooks the landscape from an entry elevation of some 750 metres before it summits at more than 1100 metres.
This light-filled home is surrounded by wide verandahs and decks and nestled in well-kept gardens. It can be configured as a large five-bedroom family home or two distinct self-contained spaces.
The ground floor has a double bedroom as well as a third bedroom or office. Upstairs is a mezzanine library or sitting room off an enormous master suite with Juliet balcony.
The bedroom wing offers two bedrooms and a sitting room or third bedroom. There is a separate bathroom and a double bedroom with access to a sitting room or further bedroom with fireplace.A separate two-bedroom guest house with its own garage is about 500 metres from the main homestead.
