Created with great care and attention to detail, ‘Glenora’ has been developed by the current owners over the last 20 years to take full advantage of the magnificent location & environment. This is a secluded masterpiece, located just around the corner from the famous Oakbank racecourse on a quiet rural lane.

The property is established with 7 paddocks for grazing dotted with heritage red gums & surrounded by a backdrop of hills with dense native plantings sheltering wildlife. Extensive plantings of oaks & deciduous trees on fencelines & in copses compliment the native landscape & create a rare managed landscape with stunning views.
The warm & welcoming Masterbuilt home has been designed to blend with the surrounding landscape, set among an extensive garden which provides beautiful sheltered views of garden rooms from every window. The house consists of large rooms & high ceilings which create an air of spaciousness enhanced by cedar French doors with sky lights & tall windows. Rooms are linked by wide hallways & feature open plan living. An expansive light-filled kitchen with central island & display cabinets framing a 4 bay window overlooks a wisteria arbour & terracotta patio. Extensive cupboard & storage space in the kitchen is complimented by recessed refrigerator alcove & a spacoius walk in pantry lined with shelving. The kitchen opens on to the adjoining breakfast room with a feature bay window & room for dining, seating or communication centre. Doors link to the patio & another to a service or boot room with sink & storage. The heart of the house is a large open plan living/dining room with windows on all sides bringing the changing seasons into view & the landscape into the home. 3 sets of French doors link these rooms to the outdoor patio, a vine covered retreat & entertainment area. Pass through glass doors in the living room to the adjacent library/ 4th bedroom lined with bookcases which will be a favourite; an ideal space to create or contemplate.
The large Master bedroom with full bathroom & walk in robe, opens with French doors on to a deck surrounded by clematis & jasmine, connecting to a sheltered & covered winter-sun sitting area. The double guest room features white double hung windows, ceiling rose & cornices highlighted in a cool green dcor. This room links to the main bathroom which can also serve as an ensuite for guests. The 3rd largest bedroom is currently fitted as an office & studio with 3 double-hung cedar windows & extensive built-in custom storage. The home has quality fixtures & fittings throughout & has been maintained to a high standard. Year round comfort is taken care of with Daikin r/c ducted air-conditioning plus slow combustion heating, ducted heat exchange & vacuum system.

The gardens of ‘Glenora’ are a brilliant formal & informal combination of mature trees, intimate garden rooms surrounded by hedging, meandering paths, perennial & shrub borders, bulbs & plantings for every season. Over 50 fruit & nut trees & extensive vegetable & herb gardens provide abundant produce for family & friends. Trees & shrubs have been selected to suit the environment & lawns provide year round green with cool season grasses & automatic irrigation systems. The gardens are regularly visited by garden societies and groups & have been a part of Australia’s Open Garden Scheme.
The gardens have been developed to be enjoyed, either as an intensive horticultural collection as they have been in the past or scaled back to more low maintenance tree, shrub & landscape garden. The value of the gardens are in the mature plantings, provision of cool green environment in summer, delightful abundance of bloom in spring & home food production. The surrounding infrastructure will suit commercial horticulture pursuits or adaptation to equestrian uses.
“Glenora” is a beautiful property offering a lifestyle that will be remembered & treasured for generations.
