Positioned on an elevated 510sqm block within the prestigious Settlers Run Golf & Country Club estate, this remarkable home offers a lifestyle that seamlessly blends high-end luxury, expansive entertaining spaces, and impressive energy efficiency. Designed thoughtfully with both comfort and sustainability in mind, this property presents a rare opportunity to secure a premium family home with exceptionally low ongoing living costs.

Distinct from many homes in the luxury market, this residence is extensively equipped for energy-conscious living without sacrificing quality or convenience. It features a substantial 15kW solar system, 10kW battery storage, 3-phase power, and an evacuated tube solar hot water system. These elements work in harmony to create an incredibly efficient home environment, allowing the current owners to enjoy minimal monthly electricity expenses despite substantial everyday usage.

Capitalizing on its elevated position, the upper-level entertaining area offers sweeping views across the surrounding greenery of Settlers Run, extending to the Dandenong Ranges and the Melbourne CBD skyline. A generous covered timber alfresco area provides an ideal setting for year-round entertaining, complete with pull-down privacy blinds, a mains gas 6-burner BBQ, and a Caesarstone preparation space.

Inside, the home impresses immediately with warm contemporary finishes and expansive proportions. Rich Tasmanian Oak flooring spans the upper level, complementing the light-filled open-plan living and dining zone where triple stacker doors create seamless indoor-outdoor integration. The centrally positioned designer kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone benchtops, quality appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a large island bench that anchors the space with both practicality and style.

The accommodation throughout the home has been finished with exceptional attention to detail. The oversized master suite offers a luxurious private retreat, complete with a walk-in robe and an elegantly appointed ensuite featuring full-height tiling, a statement marble feature wall, double oak vanity, and an oversized frameless shower fitted with twin rainheads. The remaining bathrooms maintain the same aesthetic, enhanced by premium fittings, timber accents, and a separate powder room for added convenience.

A dedicated theatre room has been purpose-built for immersive movie nights, fully blacked-out and acoustically insulated to create a true cinematic atmosphere.

The lower level further enhances the home’s versatility and functionality. A spacious study zone with custom cabinetry and a built-in workstation provides an ideal home office setup. The extraordinary garage and workshop space is a standout feature, measuring approximately 9m x 12m with soaring 4m ceilings. This space easily accommodates multiple vehicles, workshop facilities, hobby storage, or even a future car hoist. Accessed via an oversized timber-look sectional door with excellent clearance for larger vehicles, the garage also offers rear roller door access to a concreted utility area and direct connection to an expansive Merbau entertaining deck and landscaped rear yard.

Every element of the home has been carefully curated to combine visual appeal with long-term practicality, from the striking pivot entry door and wrap-around Merbau veranda to the grand oak staircase with glass balustrading and statement lighting.

Additional premium features include powerful 17kW refrigerated ducted heating and cooling, CAT6 cabling throughout, multiple television points, POE camera provisions, Bosch alarm system, keyless entry with battery backup, and insulated internal walls for enhanced acoustic comfort. The garage/workshop functionality is further enhanced by the inclusion of a hoist.

Offering a rare blend of luxury, functionality, breathtaking outlooks, and exceptionally efficient living, this home truly stands apart within one of Botanic Ridge’s most tightly held lifestyle estates.
