This extraordinary estate in the heart of Mount Macedon offers exceptional lifestyle versatility, refined luxury, and a rare opportunity for passive income. The self-contained guest house is perfectly suited for Airbnb or long-term rental, offering privacy with its own entrance, ideal for visiting family, a live-in caretaker, or as a private accommodation for guests. The separate gym or studio space enhances the flexibility of the property, easily adapting to a home business, teen retreat, creative studio, or even another living area.
Positioned on a generous 2,300m² parcel of land, directly opposite the tranquil Stanley Park Reserve and within walking distance to Mount Macedon Primary School and the village centre, including the Trading Post café and the Mount Macedon Hotel, this home combines serene surroundings with unmatched convenience.
The planning, design, and execution reflect meticulous attention to detail, showcased in the grand entry featuring a handcrafted balustrade and sweeping staircase. The main residence boasts three expansive living zones, seamlessly blending formal and family spaces. The luxurious master suite is a private sanctuary with his-and-hers walk-through robes, double vanities, and a sumptuous ensuite complete with a large bath. Four additional guest bedrooms, each with walk-in robes, including one with a private ensuite. A dedicated home office/study is fitted with custom-built desk and cabinetry, catering perfectly to remote work or study.
The kitchens and bathrooms are masterfully designed with 2-pac cabinetry and Spanish marble benchtops. Premium appliances, floor-to-ceiling marble tiles imported from Istanbul in the laundry, and carefully considered finishes elevate the interiors. A mudroom with custom carpentry adds further practical luxury, while wool carpets in bedrooms and formal areas contrast beautifully with hardwood flooring throughout the main living spaces. Feature fireplaces, skylights, and double-glazed windows enhance comfort and warmth.
Designer finishes are found throughout, from imported wall coverings sourced from London to Italian floor-to-ceiling tiles in the bathrooms, and a striking 400kg solid steel front door paired with an ironbark feature post. The bricks themselves were sourced from a historic 1950s Fitzroy distillery, contributing character and authenticity.
Technology and sustainability are equally impressive. The home includes a smart intercom system with remote access, internet connectivity throughout all dwellings, an alarm system, a 6.2 star energy rating, ducted Daikin heating and cooling, and a mix of PVC and cedar window frames. An essential 20 kVA Staunch generator, powered by a Yanmar engine and equipped with an auto transfer switch, ensures the entire property continues to function during power outages.
Outdoor living is just as exceptional. The corner block features dual street access, over 800 exotic plants and trees across professionally landscaped gardens, and 30 cubic metres of Castlemaine sandstone woven through exposed concrete pathways. An entertainer’s deck with a built-in BBQ, fire pit area, raised vegetable beds, stepped planting, and an automated irrigation system supplied by a 30,000L water tank create a lifestyle in harmony with nature. A gorilla basketball court and a large open lawn complete the recreational offerings, while two electric gated driveways with WiFi intercoms, sensor lighting, and floodlights enhance both security and convenience.
The self-contained guest house offers open-plan living and sleeping quarters with built-in storage and desk space, a full kitchen (including washer/dryer and dishwasher), and a private bathroom, ideal for multigenerational living or additional rental income.
Above the garage, the spacious studio apartment includes a separate entrance, full kitchen with washer/dryer, a generous bathroom with floor-to-ceiling Italian tiles, walk-in storage with custom cabinetry, and expansive workshop space. The double garage itself features built-in storage and cabinetry, supporting both function and flexibility.
This is a truly one-of-a-kind home for the discerning buyer who values space, elegance, and an effortless connection to nature and community. With every element already complete and considered, this residence is ready to be enjoyed immediately, no further upgrades or renovations required.
