Sweeping views across to the Macedon Ranges grab your attention the moment you enter this home. Magnificently framed in large plate glass windows, the landscape is simply breathtaking.

Set on almost 6 hectares, this home of grand proportions offers what few can: an idyllic rural lifestyle with a modern and sophisticated home, perfect for entertaining and relaxing with family and friends.

The spacious formal and informal living and dining areas occupy the heart of the home. With 3 metre ceilings and huge windows, the unrivalled views across to Mount Macedon, Mount Towrong and beyond are beautifully showcased; artwork is not required. An oversized open fire, luxurious carpet and hardwood floors and access to a vast balcony with views over the lake, paddocks and mountains completes the picture.

Adjacent to the informal living area is a beautifully designed kitchen that deserves to be on show. Marble benches, Smeg oven with induction cooktop, two dishwashers, Vintec wine fridge, quality cabinetry and an abundance of space in the main kitchen as well as the butler’s pantry: perfect for entertaining and anyone who loves to cook.

The 4 generously sized bedrooms also offer captivating views and have built-in robes and private garden access. The master suite is the perfect retreat: a vast bedroom with sitting area, a walk-in robe that is the size of most bedrooms, and a luxurious ensuite with double marble vanity, dual walk-in showers, and a spa bath with garden views.

A large, central bathroom, separate powder room, and a well-designed laundry makes this home very functional for families, and a spacious home office with gas log fire and endless views makes working from home a delight. Underfloor heating, ducted heating and cooling and ducted vacuuming.

Underneath the elevated home is a sprawling 7 car garage, perfect for housing a collection of prized cars with space left over for table tennis and games for the kids, and an indoor gym, sauna and wine cellar. There is also ample storage and 3 huge water tanks. Garage number 2 can store another 3 cars and includes a bathroom and even more storage.

Outside, the lifestyle opportunities offered by this grand home are endless: jumping off the jetty into the lake that lies between the house and mountain range, fishing in the smaller dam, picking fruit from established fruit trees, tending to home grown vegetables in the edible kitchen garden in the sheltered courtyard or the larger, fenced vegetable garden, or simply enjoying a picnic on the lawn surrounded by nature. There are also fenced paddocks to keep livestock, a bore, and an approved permit and plan to build a large shed (with the majority of steel required already on site).

Only a short drive to shops and amenities, the New Gisborne train station and access to the Calder Freeway (with Melbourne CBD in less than an hour), this property encapsulates country estate living within easy reach of everything that the Macedon Ranges offers.
