Grand in scale and captivating in its beauty, this masterfully crafted homestead offers an unrivalled country lifestyle amidst meticulously manicured gardens, with the northern vistas of Mount Macedon providing a dramatic backdrop to daily life. Evoking a legacy and a history well beyond its years, this mesmerising property spans approximately 5 acres, mere minutes from the Trading Post Cafe and General Store, Macedon Railway and close to an array of wineries, nationally significant gardens, cafes and restaurants.
Beyond a discreet street entrance, a tree-lined driveway leads to a picturesque setting, where an ornamental dam, gracefully sheltered by a weeping willow, sets the tone for the charm of an old English country estate. Inside, impeccable craftsmanship fosters a deep sense of connection, with Jarrah floorboards from the Maribyrnong Munition Factory, New Zealand Kauri benchtops, a vintage Rayburn from the Old Whistlestop pub, and original cedar doors contributing to its distinct character.
A generous dining room is served by a gourmet timber kitchen boasting a LaCanche oven, a large central island and a large walk-in pantry. A series of French doors open the two living spaces to a broad north-facing verandah in one direction, the ideal venue for year-round relaxation with views to Mount Macedon and a central garden courtyard to the other, peaceful with a water feature and established cottage gardens. Upstairs, five expansive bedrooms, including the opulent main suite with mountain views and a luxurious en suite featuring a clawfoot bath, are complemented by a second well-appointed bathroom. The standout feature, a separate self-contained barn, offers exceptional versatility, perfect for sophisticated entertaining, a home business, or guest accommodation, with seamless access to the central courtyard garden.
An oversized 3-car garage constructed in timber, abundant water storage, a fire-pit area and kitchen gardens features throughout the grounds, with extensive features including laundry, sunroom/mudroom, an open fireplace, and automated gated entry.
