288 Top Road, Terip Terip Via, Ruffy, VIC 3666 "Terip Rig" An Outstanding Architectural Residence; A Highly Productive Grazing Farm

A contemporary home, designed by architect Barry Aitken, is uniquely situated on the crest of a hill and hovers over a native garden offering an immersive experience, where one can come together to appreciate nature. Well set back from the sealed road, the residence is centrally located on the property and is underpinned by a highly developed and productive grazing farm.

Beautifully designed, north-facing and light-filled, the residence is divided into three pavilions enveloped by one roof. This four bedroom home with two living rooms, an office and two bathrooms plus powder room does away with conventional boundaries and opens up to the idea of infinite unity with the landscape but also provides a place of sanctuary and protection from the elements when required. Not only does the residence connect with the environment it provides a secure and very private home. Creature comforts include a wood heater, ducted gas heating and reverse cycle air conditioning plus double carport and a separate garage/workshop.

The surrounding garden features flowing lawns through a large colourful native garden comprising several large feature granite rocks offering exciting pathways for the eye. The garden includes balled correas, waratahs, and banksias of some rare and sculptured forms, amongst many other varieties.

Ideally suited to grazing, the 322 acres* in two titles (plus a 7 acre* grazing license) of improved and fertilised pasture is primarily comprised of productive granitic loam across gently undulating country. A total of 18 well fenced paddocks, connected via a central laneway system, make the property highly efficient and optimally productive.

With 3 stock and domestic bores and 22 dams*, almost all of which are spring-fed, the natural water sources on the property provide complete water security. Terip Terip enjoys a 850-900mm* long-term average annual rainfall.

Further amenity includes, but is not limited to, steel cattle yards with crush, a 400 roll 3 bay hay shed, equipment shed, machinery shed and shearing shed

With sealed road frontage, "Terip Rig" is under 2 hours from Melbourne's CBD.
