Overview

Set on approximately 20 acres (8.09 hectares) in the tranquil surroundings of Lancefield within the Macedon Ranges, this unique estate offers a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a property with existing infrastructure and future operational flexibility.

Designed in the traditional Siheyuan (Asian courtyard) style, this property has been lovingly constructed by hand using mud bricks and recycled timbers. The layout features a central main residence with symmetrical side wings, embracing a large internal courtyard. This enclosed configuration provides clear zoning, privacy, and natural functionality, making it particularly well-suited for group-based activities and retreat-style operations.

The property includes:

Authentic courtyard-style master layout
Five bedrooms, each with ensuite bathrooms
Expansive multipurpose hall suitable for classes or gatherings
Separate studio and meditation spaces
Large paved central courtyard
Off-grid solar infrastructure
Newly installed bore water supply
Substantial water storage capacity
Established organic gardens and fruit plantings

The recent addition of bore water and expanded storage significantly enhances water security and long-term sustainability, which is a critical asset for regional properties. Previously utilized as a martial arts and training facility, the estate offers strong potential for future uses (subject to council approval), including:

Wellness or retreat centre
Yoga, Tai Chi, or martial arts training facility
Boutique accommodation
Private event venue
Multi-generational family compound

Combining land scale, distinctive architecture, and established infrastructure, this property represents a rare rural holding with both lifestyle appeal and commercial adaptability.
