Some homes capture your heart, but this one will take your breath away. Architecturally designed by award-winning Peter Earnshaw and meticulously re-crafted from the ground up just ten years ago, this extraordinary residence is a triumph of modern living infused with rural charm. With uninterrupted 270-degree views stretching from the Warramate Hills to the Warburton Gap and Mount Donna Buang (on a clear day, even to Mount Baw Baw), this is a home where nature’s grandeur becomes part of everyday life. Watch eagles soar and hot air balloons drift as the morning sun casts a golden glow over rolling paddocks, while shifting skies and changing seasons paint a breathtaking display - better than any expensive artwork. Wake to misty mornings that dissolve into blue-sky panoramas, and wind down to the sound of black cockatoos perched in the banksias as the stars take over the night - this is life at its most serene and spectacular.
Positioned on a beautifully usable 10-acre allotment among the rich fertile soils of the market growing region, this dual-level sanctuary was designed for those who want it all - space, sophistication, and a seamless connection to the great outdoors. The main open plan living and meals domain is anchored by cathedral ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a Jindara wood fire that radiates warmth. Every detail has been considered in the chef-worthy kitchen, featuring stone benches, a striking custom-designed splashback by Wathaurong Glass, a double Fisher & Paykel pyrolytic oven, and a 900mm Miele gas cooktop. An instant hot water tap, filtered water, and a lavish butler’s pantry with masses of storage ensure effortless functionality.
Entertain in absolute style with a versatile 5m x 8m lifestyle room - perfect for game nights, footy finals, or unwinding with a glass of wine as the sky turns pink. Movie buffs will adore the fully fitted home cinema with a big screen and projector, while a ground-floor home office or extra living/accommodation space (with a bespoke barn door and under-stair wine cellar) offers both work-from-home and multigenerational appeal.
The ground floor hosts two robed bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom and powder room, while upstairs, the master wing is nothing short of spectacular. Wake up to the sunrise framed by a glorious infinity window, step onto your private balcony, and take in the glimmer of Silvan Dam as you enjoy a steaming cuppa. This luxurious retreat includes dual walk-in robes and an ensuite with a double shower, stone vanity & heated floor. A retreat/reading nook and a fourth bedroom complete the upper level.
Entertainers will also relish the covered alfresco zone, beckoning you to fire up the barbecue while an outdoor spa invites you to soak in the dreamy views. An upper level takes things up a notch with a gazebo to gather under ambient lights for celebrations beneath the stars - or challenge the family to a round on your very own nine-hole mini-golf course. Framed by landscaped gardens brimming with fairy magnolias, the setting is sublime. And the views? Enjoyed from every angle, in every moment.
Beyond the home, the lifestyle possibilities are endless. Formerly an equine property, the estate now boasts a three-bay semi-open machinery shed, a powered shed/workshop with a sink, an outdoor toilet, and an enclosed pet-friendly play area for little ones to safely play, cushioned by lush lawn.
With fenced paddocks, Emerald Creek at the bushland boundary, a greenhouse, a chook house, a woodshed, and a bounty of fruit trees - including grapefruit, mandarin, oranges, avocados, mulberries, apples, plums, bay leaf, and fig - this is a lifestyle property in every sense. Thoughtful extras such as auto gates, guest parking bay, a laundry chute, double-glazed windows, alarm system & video surveillance, 70,000L of water storage across three tanks, and a 10kW solar system with battery and inverter ensure effortless functionality.
Set moments from Monbulk’s township and within easy reach of Olinda’s golf course precinct, the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens, and the wineries of the Yarra Valley, this is a rare opportunity to embrace the best of hills living with the finest of modern luxuries.
