Overview
Set on a substantial 15.23-hectare (37.6-acre) elevated hilltop, this architecturally crafted brick residence is designed to embrace the breathtaking 360-degree panoramas of the Yarra Valley. The home’s construction features a core rammed earth wall and double glazed windows that optimize thermal comfort, ensuring summer shade and winter warmth, while the expansive cantilevered roof provides generous summer shading without obstructing the views.
Detailed for family living and entertaining, the home offers a vast open-plan living and dining area anchored by a luxurious kitchen equipped with high-end Miele appliances and an ample chef's pantry. Accompanying the three double bedrooms each with private ensuites is a master suite featuring a full bath and expansive walk-in shower, complemented by double vanities and a walk-in robe. There is also a private lounge or potential fourth bedroom, a powder room, and a generously sized laundry and mudroom, also fitted with Miele appliances.
Central to the home’s design is an impressive slate-paved outdoor living area with an automated louvre roof and a sunken fire pit, making it ideal for al fresco gatherings while admiring sweeping valley views. Comfort and convenience are assured with split system heating and cooling, zoned under-floor heating, a cozy wood heater in the lounge, ducted vacuum system, and a 5kW solar panel array.
- Outdoor amenities include a 15-meter pool with an integrated spa, patios, and secluded garden nooks offering tranquil spots for relaxation and sunset viewing.
- The extensive land features a blend of maintained pastures and native forest, complete with walking trails, abundant wildlife, and existing agricultural infrastructure supporting horses and cattle.
- A large steel barn with concrete flooring and electricity, equipped with remote-controlled doors and amenity facilities, offers versatile space for use as a studio or workshop.
- Complementary garden areas include vegetable plots, a netted berry patch, and a home orchard, all supported by automated irrigation and plentiful rainwater storage.
- An engineered riding arena currently repurposed as a chicken coop has potential to be transformed back for equestrian uses including a dressage arena and stables.
- Enhancing family lifestyle is a sculpted dry creek bed linking two dams, one featuring an entertainment deck and a children's adventure park with climbing equipment, flying fox, barbeque area, and fire pit.
This largely self-sufficient property provides the essentials including water, firewood, and solar power contributions to mains electricity, setting the scene for a serene rural lifestyle while being within convenient reach of suburban amenities.
