Overview
Set within one of the Macedon Ranges’ most exclusive areas, this 11-acre country estate called Terra Rossa offers a unique blend of architectural distinction and natural beauty. The home is thoughtfully designed with a pavilion-style layout focused around a spacious 100sqm internal courtyard, fostering a sense of privacy and connection with the surrounding landscape.
The residence benefits from abundant natural light, high ceilings, and large 2.4-metre doors, enhancing its spacious and airy feel. Passive-solar design and cross-ventilation contribute to its comfort throughout the year, while the courtyard provides a tranquil retreat featuring a Japanese meditation garden and cascading stream that resonates with calmness.
At the heart of the home, the large entertainer’s kitchen equipped with a butler’s pantry supports both everyday convenience and hosting. Formal living and dining areas are positioned to maximize views over the extensive Kerrie Valley and beyond, including sweeping vistas stretching toward the Kinglake and Cathedral Ranges.
Outside, the property features wide Castlemaine slate verandahs, patios, established gardens, and park-like lawns, offering versatile options for outdoor living and entertaining. The enclosed garden courtyard boasts a Red Gum pavilion with a Sicilian pizza oven and bar, ideal for social gatherings. A solar-heated saltwater pool adds a luxurious focal point, framed by mature Chinese elms and a wisteria arbour.
For those interested in a productive lifestyle, the estate includes an olive grove with over 300 trees, vegetable and strawberry beds, plus a diverse collection of historic fruit and nut trees including almond, walnut, and more. Water security is assured with two spring-fed dams and substantial storage.
Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the two stables, tack/feed room, round yard, and paddock with nearby riding trails just 500 metres from the gate. Additional amenities include a double garage with gymnasium and sauna, convertible to a private office, and a large steel shed providing substantial workshop and storage space.
Terra Rossa appeals particularly to those seeking a private rural sanctuary with architectural character, established productive gardens, and magnificent views, all within reasonable proximity to Melbourne Airport and the natural beauty of the Macedon Ranges.
