Overview

Set in the heart of the Mornington Peninsula's celebrated wine region, this exceptional architectural estate masterfully integrates sustainable design with a thriving boutique vineyard, offering a lifestyle that seamlessly blends rural charm with modern sophistication.

The acclaimed Hill House, a hallmark of innovative Australian rural architecture, was crafted by Mihaly Slocombe Architects to harmonise with its natural surroundings and maximise northern light and vineyard vistas. Encompassing approximately 464.5 square metres of thoughtfully designed living space, the residence features six bedrooms and three bathrooms configured across multiple versatile living zones, suited to both comfortable family living and entertaining.

Innovative features include a private underground wine cellar, a dedicated study/library, and a separate games or billiards room, each thoughtfully positioned to maintain visual and physical connection to the expansive vineyard. Flooded with natural light and boasting expansive glazing, the interiors are characterized by a refined yet restrained palette, blurring the lines between indoors and the scenic outdoors.

An award-winning architectural extension, the Kids Pod, adds adaptable accommodation while preserving the estate's design integrity, exemplifying thoughtful planning and environmental responsiveness. The property's sustainable credentials are further enhanced by a comprehensive solar energy system, hydronic heating, substantial water storage, productive vegetable gardens, and an onsite dam, providing an efficient and environmentally conscious way of living.

Outdoors, a heated 25-metre lap pool and spa accentuate the resort-like atmosphere, while the established 10-acre vineyard stands as both a beautiful backdrop and a connection to the region's esteemed winemaking heritage. For enthusiasts and investors alike, the estate offers an opportunity to acquire the assets of Paradigm Hill, a respected boutique winery and cellar door operation with promising potential for growth.

This exclusive 50-acre property promises a unique blend of award-winning architecture, environmental stewardship, and premium vineyard lifestyle, situated just an hour from Melbourne and surrounded by top-tier wineries, coastal attractions, and fine dining.
