Commanding an elevated position across approximately 10 acres, this exceptional residence by Morton Dunn Architects, locally known as the “Crumpler home”, is a masterwork of scale, craftsmanship and landscape integration - a private rural oasis of remarkable refinement, all within walking distance of Buninyong township.
Spanning approximately 80 squares (excluding the substantial shed), the home is an architectural statement of timber, stone and glass. Reclaimed Yarrowee Creek bluestone feature walls, exposed stonework, reclaimed timber posts and floorboards, polished concrete and soaring ceilings establish an immediate sense of permanence and quiet luxury. Double glazed floor-to-ceiling glazing frames uninterrupted vistas across rolling countryside, drawing the outdoors inward and bathing each space in natural light.
The central living domain is both grand and intimate, anchored by a custom engineered stone fireplace designed for open or enclosed use. Hydronic heating, split system cooling and ceiling fans ensure year-round comfort, while underfloor heating to the master suite adds another layer of considered indulgence.
The kitchen is a statement in bespoke design, incorporating reclaimed timber cabinetry, concrete benchtops, a full galley style preparation zone and walk in pantry combine beauty with functionality. A Smeg five-burner self-cleaning oven and integrated Bosch dishwasher compliment the space, delivering effortless performance for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. Three distinct living zones, including a dedicated parents retreat, provide flexibility and separation without compromising connection.
Accommodation comprises five bedrooms, headlined by an exquisite main suite featuring walk-in robe, luxurious ensuite with sculptural stone bath, polished concrete underfoot and remote blinds for privacy and comfort. Four additional bedrooms with built-in robes are serviced by a refined central bathroom and separate powder room.
Outdoors, the estate unfolds as a true lifestyle sanctuary. Multiple alfresco terraces, beneath established vines creating a series of outdoor rooms designed for entertaining and retreat. A custom reclaimed brick pizza oven, firepit area, irrigated vegetable gardens and manicured lawns enhance the sense of self-sufficiency and leisure.
The solar-heated in-ground swimming pool with cover sits privately within the landscape, while extensive internal fencing, a dam and substantial water storage (approximately 150,000 litres servicing the home and 75,000 litres dedicated to gardens) ensure both sustainability and practicality.
A significant 21m x 12m shed with internal office and split system heating and cooling offers outstanding versatility for business, storage or hobby pursuits, complimented by a two-car undercover carport and remote electric gated entrance for privacy and security.
Rarely does a property of this calibre unite architectural distinction, expansive acreage and everyday convenience with such effortless cohesion. A private retreat of uncompromising quality within easy walking distance of Buninyong’s cafes, primary school, parklands and boutique amenities. This is a landmark offering in one of the region’s most tightly held settings.
