Set against the picturesque backdrop of rolling hills and lush pastures, ‘Goosehill’ is a century-old estate in the heart of Main Ridge that embodies timeless charm and refined rural living. Spanning 5.7 acres (approx), this historic property is surrounded by a collection of beautifully established oak and copper beech trees and neighbouring apple orchards, creating a serene escape with panoramic views over the region's famous wineries and undulating landscape.
Impeccably maintained and rich in character, this home showcases a harmonious blend of heritage charm and modern convenience. Hardwood timber floors, colonial windows and French doors open to expansive gardens and a veranda that invites the outdoors in. The generous country-style kitchen designed for hosting, features shaker-style cabinetry and twin ovens. A weatherboard exterior is accented with American shingles, while high ceilings, and Mid-Edwardian details such as decorative cornices and ceiling medallions, reinforce the classic grandeur.
One of the estate’s highlights is the formal living room, which boasts corner expansive windows that frame captivating views of the meticulously landscaped English gardens. Bathed in natural light from its north-facing aspect, rhododendrons and azaleas reveal their vibrant colours that lend a stunning contrast to the serene greens of the surrounding countryside. Warm pine panelling, integrated cabinetry, and both gas and wood fire heaters create an inviting atmosphere in the interconnected living and dining areas, an intimate setting for gatherings.
Thoughtfully zoned for privacy, the accommodation includes four robed bedrooms positioned off a quiet hallway. The main bedroom offers shared access to a well-appointed central bathroom, while the fourth bedroom features an ensuite, and an additional powder room ensures comfort and convenience for both family and guests.
Beyond the home, the property’s extensive grounds present a pastoral paradise for those seeking a rural lifestyle. A rustic barn-style shed fitted for entertaining sits atop the hill alongside a workshop, horse stable, and storage facilities, offering ample space for hobbies or storage of caravans and equipment. The property’s self-sufficiency is enhanced by a chicken coop, woodshed, secure fenced paddocks, original stockyard, water tanks, and a filtration system.
Goosehill’s tranquil setting is complemented by its proximity to Red Hill Village, horse riding and walking trails, renowned wineries and both bay and surf beaches. With freeway access only 10 minutes away, this exclusive property seamlessly combines the peacefulness of rural life with the convenience of urban connectivity—an extraordinary opportunity to own a true piece of history in the verdant valleys of Main Ridge.
