Opposite Witchmount Winery and backing onto an inviolate green wedge zone with captivating sunsets and tranquil views, this landmark house in rural surroundings is a genuine dream-catcher.
Influenced by French provincial and American gothic designs, the weatherboard facade encapsulates all the romance of a fairytale. Flanked by two wings, a turret topped with a weathervane is the most eye-catching feature of a house that's been lavished with custom-made goodies and high-quality fixtures.
Timber-lined raked ceilings, classy polished floorboards, customised Victorian ash cabinetry, top-grade porcelain tiles and the use of limestone and bluestone provide the setting for a family lifestyle centred around entertainment.
The expansive family hub is the heart of the house and incorporates a large lounge room with theatre wiring, a meals area, stylish kitchen and indoor infinity edge pool and spa. The designer kitchen makes a family chef's life pleasurable but it's the adjacent pool that's the real point of difference. Set below windows that capture wonderful sunsets, it has black glass mosaic tiles and a stacked-stone water cascade. Next to it is a raised merbau deck with glass baluster, with a nearby indoor barbecue under a copper canopy.
Padding out the 52 squares of living space, a huge games room has a terrazzo floor, 21-foot raked ceiling, spectacular chandelier and a baronial fireplace with solid slate fascia and bluestone chimney and mantel.
A study near the enclosed entry foyer has custom-made cabinetry and desks. Two downstairs bedrooms share access to a stylish bathroom and there's a second bathroom that services the pool and living areas.
An Italianate staircase ascends to a large living room with access to a 10-square balcony with views over fields stretching to the horizon. Off this is a multi-purpose room, the main bedroom and a library/parents' retreat/morning room with vineyard views.
The large main bedroom has French door access to a Juliet balcony, a large walk-in wardrobe and an enticing ensuite with a Caesar Stone-topped timber vanity unit, big frameless shower and large luxury spa, additional 4th bedroom or 2nd study.

On 2000 square metres, the property has remote-controlled entry gates and a 14-square freestanding garage with two storage rooms and a tack room.
