40 Beatties Lane, Trentham East, Vic 3458

Privately tucked away along a peaceful country Cul de Sac, this architecturally designed retreat is a remarkable fusion of artistry, history and contemporary comfort. Crafted with an exceptional eye for scale, texture and beauty, the home has been thoughtfully created using reclaimed timber and restored elements from the original miners’ cottages that once occupied the site, giving the residence a rare sense of warmth, character and story.

Designed with hospitality and generosity at its heart, the home embraces its natural surrounds through expansive timber verandas, French doors and carefully framed garden vistas from almost every room. Rich recycled timbers, restored cottage window frames, polished Jarrah floorboards and beautifully curated interiors combine to create a home that feels both timeless and deeply connected to its landscape.

The ground floor offers an inviting sunken living space centred around a striking Jet Master wood fireplace, while hydronic heating in each room ensures year-round comfort throughout. The spacious main bedroom enjoys tranquil garden and forest views from two sides, complete with French doors opening outdoors, a generous walk-in robe and an elegant bathroom featuring an Art Deco-inspired bath and walk-in shower.

Upstairs, the flexible open-plan second storey currently incorporates two bedrooms and a study space separated by soft drapery, offering versatility for creative living or the opportunity to further configure into permanent rooms if desired.

Surrounded by enchanting native forest, the property is rich with natural beauty, from ancient wombat hollows and wedge-tail eagle nesting sites to exotic established gardens and sweeping lawns. A spring-fed dam, long enjoyed as a swimming hole and irrigation source for generations, forms a stunning centrepiece to the landscape, complete with a jetty, fish stock and abundant fresh water supply.

Complementing the main residence is a separate artist’s studio echoing the architectural style of the home, featuring soaring ceilings and excellent potential for guest accommodation or additional creative space.
