Overview
Set in the highly sought-after Malmadale precinct at an elevated 500m, Liberty Flat Farm is an expansive rural sanctuary spread over 10 acres of stunning land. The location offers uninterrupted, sweeping views encompassing Mount Macedon to the east and Mount Alexander to the northwest, making it a haven for those seeking privacy and scenic tranquility.
The character-rich residence epitomizes a harmonious fusion of classic European elegance with contemporary touches, creating sophisticated yet comfortable living spaces. The home features five bedrooms and three bathrooms, with multiple living and entertaining zones designed to maximize natural light and the surrounding panorama. Key highlights include an open-plan living area where ten sets of French doors link seamlessly to vine-covered pergolas and sunlit decks, perfect for indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting a grand double-scale layout with specialty appliances including a wood-fired cobalt-blue Stanley cooker and premium Falcon gas/electric range. Three farmhouse sinks and a servery window opening to a cozy alcove with outdoor access ensure both practicality and style for meal preparation and social gatherings. Above, a spectacular retreat room stands out with soaring ceilings, a grand Murano chandelier, French Art Deco influences, and a gas log fireplace—ideal for intimate evenings or lively celebrations.
The master suite is designed for comfort and indulgence with an ensuite featuring curved tiles, a bright reading nook, extensive storage, and balconies that frame the extraordinary landscape views. Another spacious bedroom includes its own bath, an ensuite, and a private balcony overlooking manicured gardens and the vista of Taradale.
The property also boasts a self-contained guest wing informally known as the "Gentleman's Residence," complete with its own bedroom, office, bathroom, private toilet, and plumbing ready for a potential additional kitchen or lounge area. This setup accommodates multi-generational living, guest privacy, or potential rental income. Additional functional spaces include a bedroom/utility/mudroom and a well-planned laundry with a private drying courtyard.
The surrounding gardens are a showcase of Mediterranean elegance, thoughtfully designed by renowned landscaper Gian Zovi. The semi-formal gardens feature mature specimen trees, ornamental pear orchards, wrap-around vines, and majestic hedge tunnels. The expansive flat rear lawn, measuring 24 by 12 meters, includes a west-facing sunset viewing platform, making it ideal for weddings or large outdoor events. A charming and generously sized chicken coop doubles as a potting shed and garden feature, adding to the lifestyle appeal.
Water resources are ample and of high quality with unlimited bore water, two significant dams—one with foundations for a summer house or granny flat without needing additional permits—and an ornamental pond. The property shares a 400m boundary with the Coliban Water Supply Reserve, providing secure private gated access to a historic 20km walking, running, and cycling trail along the old water race, ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. The site is also a birdlife haven attracting species such as wrens, honeyeaters, and black cockatoos, supported by native food planting.
A broad curved driveway lined with snow gums makes a grand entrance to the estate. There is rear access to large flat areas suitable for vegetable gardens, greenhouses, or potential further development, complemented by substantial shedding, a workshop, ample wood storage, and a single garage equipped with a solar/battery control center and backup generator facilities.
Located close to acclaimed local wineries, a wine bar, and a vibrant creative community, the estate is only seven minutes from a fast train link to Melbourne, blending rural lifestyle with access to the city.
Overall, Liberty Flat Farm offers a rare blend of versatility, refined living, and lifestyle opportunities, unmistakably suited for those seeking privacy, entertaining options, and a tranquil retreat from urban life.
