Embracing the charm of a European farmhouse and the beauty of the Macedon Ranges, this exceptional property in tightly-held Hesket offers refined country living surrounded by mature European trees, curated gardens, and sweeping elevated views. Just minutes from the townships of Woodend and Romsey, and an easy one‑hour drive from Melbourne, this 20 acre estate offers two residences on two separate titles. The main residence, built in 2000, features solid brick construction, fine craftmanship and underfloor heating throughout, creating a warm, enveloping ambience. Two sculptural Philippe Cheminee open fireplaces anchor the home with European character. The thoughtful floorplan unfolds across two distinct wings, enhancing privacy and flow with magnificent garden views. The home features four spacious bedrooms and three well-appointed bathrooms, one of which has a beautiful claw‑foot bath. The formal lounge and dining rooms provide elegant entertaining spaces. A separate sitting room and informal kitchen dining and sitting area are perfect for relaxed everyday living. The modern kitchen — finished with polished concrete benchtops — balances rustic charm with contemporary functionality. A large mudroom elevates practicality. On the second title, there is a charming rustic timber cottage, perfect for overflow guests or a caretaker. Outdoors, a tranquil courtyard overlooking stately pin oaks offers a European‑style alfresco retreat. The grounds feature a thriving olive grove, raised vegetable gardens, a greenhouse, a colourful flower garden, and a seasonal creek that enhances the property’s natural beauty. Storage and machinery sheds, parking for multiple cars, a Tesla battery and multiple water tanks enhance the property's sustainability, energy efficiency and versatility for guests, hobbies, or small‑scale farming. Designed for comfort, elegance, and connection to the landscape, this rare offering is an opportunity too good to miss.
