Main Ridge, VIC 3928

Expressions of Interest close Tuesday 16th June at 12pm, unless sold prior. This architect-designed single-level residence is a sublime embodiment of architectural coherence and an authentic hinterland retreat. It embraces a design that accentuates the gentle undulations of its protected 5-acre (approximately 20,234 sqm) setting.

Admired for its unique form, the highly resolved home extends incredible views across its vineyard to a rare convergence of three bodies of water: a spring-fed dam, Port Phillip Bay, and Bass Strait. The main home integrates beautifully with its hinterland backdrop, featuring a design that employs a comforting material palette to define the character of each domain.

Key architectural elements include Scandinavian ceiling panels, Spotted Gum floors, and Messmate timber features. Expansive double glazing opens to an entertaining deck, creating architectural interest throughout the primary and secondary living areas, a dedicated study, and a central kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with moss green cabinetry that conceals a full suite of Siemens appliances.

The home is thoughtfully arranged within two distinct wings providing three-bedroom accommodation. This includes a private master retreat featuring an ensuite, a separate powder room, and a generous walk-in robe. Nearby, a separate studio with its own ensuite and deck offers private guest accommodation or a tranquil retreat.

At the dam’s edge, the property includes three fully-irrigated paddocks with a gated shed suitable for lambing. The land stretches to an upper and lower vineyard, growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir respectively. Additional features include a fruit and nut orchard, vegetable gardens, and a substantial 20x5 meter shed divided into a 14x5 meter machinery storage area and a 6x5 meter multi-purpose games room with a wood burner. This shed also contains additional accommodation with a kitchenette and bathroom.

The comprehensive amenity suite enhances comfort and sustainability, including six newly installed reverse-cycle Fujitsu units, hydronic heating, a full security system, and auto gates. Water supply is abundant with a total of 130,000 liters of rainwater storage, bore water access, and a 16kWh solar system paired with a 40kWh solar battery. The property also features an EV charger and a 7kW generator.

Additional practical features include trailer and vehicle storage, an olive grove, a chicken coop with a 30-meter run, and separate driveway access to the vineyard. This impressive hinterland property is situated in the heart of the region’s renowned wine country, just moments from wineries, restaurants, local produce markets, acclaimed golf courses, award-winning day spas, and long stretches of coastline. It also offers easy access back to Melbourne.
