The Huntley - Contemporary Elegance in an Exceptional Setting Close to Lake Daylesford
A rare offering in the heart of Daylesford, this exquisitely reimagined Edwardian private residence captures the essence of refined country living with a distinctly contemporary edge. Tucked away in one of the town’s quietest streets, and just a gentle stroll from Lake Daylesford and the village centre, the home balances seclusion with effortless convenience. Beyond its classic verandah and striking leadlight entrance, a long, wide hallway introduces interiors defined by soaring three-metre ceilings and a curated selection of designer lighting. Every detail speaks to a level of craftsmanship and aesthetic precision seldom encountered, creating a home that feels as much like a private gallery as it does a sanctuary. Currently configured as three bedrooms with multiple living zones, the layout offers flexibility to expand to five bedrooms if desired. The accommodation is both luxurious and versatile. Two beautifully appointed front bedrooms enjoy soft eastern light, including one with a charming bay window and ensuite, while the other unfolds as a lavish suite complete with an expansive walk-in robe and a spa-like bathroom featuring antiqued-glass mirrors, dual vanities, a pod bath and walk-in shower. At its heart, the home opens into a luminous living and dining domain, seamlessly extending through bifold doors to two exceptional experiences. One reveals a stunning conservatory-style retreat with a retractable roof, while the other connects to a beautifully landscaped rear garden with composite decking and a state-of-the-art Fastlane spa pool—complete with swim zone, hydrotherapy seating, Wi-Fi control, and an automated insulated cover. The kitchen is a study in understated elegance, with marble surfaces, a generous island bench, extensive storage, and space for a double-door refrigerator. A separate, well-appointed laundry further enhances functionality. Sustainability and comfort are integral to the home’s design, with an impressive solar system and battery storage, hydronic heating throughout, reverse-cycle systems, and designer ceiling fans. Thoughtful additions such as multiple water tanks, integrated Wi-Fi, and comprehensive cabling ensure modern ease complements the home’s timeless appeal. Framed by established landscaped gardens and ambient lighting that transforms the property by night, this is a residence of exceptional quality, offering a rare blend of heritage charm and contemporary sophistication. A comprehensive specification sheet is available upon request. Inspections by private appointment only.
