There's a rare beauty in homes that bridge eras. Here, a 1940s frame has been completely rebuilt and expanded, its spirit re-emerging in 2023 with a calm, mid-century sensibility. Every line feels deliberate, every material chosen for texture, tone, and longevity.
The interiors balance warmth with precision. Japanese terracotta tiles meet timber joinery, while Swiss steel windows frame curated garden views. In the kitchen, V-Zug appliances and a Liebherr refrigerator sit beneath veined marble, forming a space that is both sculptural and purposeful. Each bedroom is appointed with its own ensuite, finished with Roger Seller tapware and underfloor heating, while soundproofing and ducted climate control ensure a quiet retreat. A dedicated library and study, lined with shelving and paved in bold, irregular stone, creates a refined workspace that connects directly to the garden.
Beyond its walls, the property speaks to restoration of a different kind. A Finnish sauna, outdoor mineral bath, cold plunge, and home gym create daily rituals of wellbeing. The grounds are fully landscaped with established trees, a bocce court, vegetable beds, and multiple terraces, alongside a separate studio that offers further versatility. Entertaining becomes instinctive, whether gathering around the wood-fired pizza oven or enjoying the quiet rhythm of the gardens.
Sustainability is also woven into the fabric of the home, with discreetly integrated solar panels, water tanks, and an EV charger providing modern efficiency to complement its timeless design.
Currently operating as a highly successful short-term accommodation, the property holds a place in the region’s top five — a testament to its considered design, exceptional amenity, and location in one of Daylesford’s most coveted pockets.
Set along Hospital Street, the address is just the beginning — it’s the architecture, the gardens, and the sense of retreat that define the experience, a residence crafted to restore, inspire, and endure.
