This exceptional lifestyle property offers a substantial land holding in a premier location within Mount Macedon and boasts arguably the best views and the most impressive grounds available in the district.
For those amongst us who are discerning and truly appreciate quality not only in construction but also in infrastructure and location the search for the perfect property can be long. If this is true of you, you must put this at the top of your list as this property is one of the very few that will exceed your expectations.
From the moment you enter through automatic gates upon the meandering driveway you’ll be captivated by a picture perfect ornamental lake with the gentle ripples created by birdlife and as you round the bend a gracious residence will be revealed and you can indulge in the realization that you are in a story book setting where no expense has been spared in ensuring the residents and guests alike are living the dream.
The home has a unique blend of Mediterranean styling with a gorgeous Castlemaine Stone and Corten Steel exterior. The most delightful portico with an ornate metal door beckons you in and sets the high standard for the rest of the home. Upon entry a spacious open plan living area will impress you with slate floors, high ceilings, quality cornice and lighting, a free standing solid fuel heater for that wonderful ambience and linear slot diffusers for a commercial quality air conditioning unit.
Beyond the sitting area is the superb kitchen with French doors through which an idyllic wisteria draped alfresco area invites you to sit and ponder the beauty of the mountain which is your personal scenery. The dining area here has a pantry-bar and its own French doors to a second larger alfresco area ideal for memorable get-togethers under magnolia and pistachio trees. To extend this area indoors simply open up the glass double door entry to the enormous billiard room with a stunning French fireplace, raked ceilings and magnificent re-purposed trusses from an old Carlton warehouse.
Four bedrooms each have a luxurious ensuite and just for good measure a fifth bathroom separately services the ground floor. Upstairs the master bedroom is immense and fit for a king with a dormer window and window seat from which to enjoy it, a large office overlooking the breathtaking mountain vista to one side and hobby room with extra storage space to the other.
Set in the lush fertile foothills of Mount Macedon on 27.5 undulating acres, but also with a 10m unused road easement on two sides within the fence-line providing use of 35 acres all told, with two deep ornamental lakes and a seasonal creek this property is not only a joy to explore but also wonderful and green with a productive hay paddock, raised veggie beds and an orchard with a wide variety of trees such as cherries, apricot, nectarine plum, apples, pear and quince. Ideal for keeping horses there is a large barn with two stables which connect to a paddock each, a mnage, good fencing and on top of that the land has been harrowed to ensure it is generally level and stone free.
If you are not already overwhelmingly convinced that this is the property for you, you should also take into consideration the most important factor about this property and its most valuable asset – the investment in the future potential of acreage in such a highly regarded location on the fringe of a national park, 5 minutes from the golf course and walking distance from the village with good public transport including train and bus services, school busses, a kindergarten, primary school, theatre, cafes etc. And if regular visits to the city are on the agenda it’s a very easy commute to the Melbourne fringe or Tullamarine Airport in around 30 minutes.
