137 Murray Road,
Gisborne
"Yarrum”
With uninterrupted views of the Macedon Ranges, this impressive property offers elegant country living within an hour’s drive of Melbourne CBD.
Set on 6.7 hectares of green pasture, this property boasts a substantial home along with all of the infrastructure needed to run a premium equestrian property.
At the end of the circular drive sits the single level 5 bedroom plus study home, which has a welcoming wraparound verandah and large double glazed windows which fill the home with light and views across to the hills. The main entrance opens into a large entry hall, with double doors to a generously sized study (or additional 6th bedroom) on the right. From here, a wide hallway with timber floorboards leads to 4 spacious bedrooms (all with built-in robes and ceiling fans) to the left, and a large open-plan kitchen, living and dining room to the right.
At the heart of this beautiful space is a 2.6 metre timber island bench which sits beautifully in the Hamptons-style white kitchen. The well-appointed kitchen has a Siemens oven, steam oven, induction cooktop and rangehood and dishwasher, as well as quality cabinetry throughout. An enormous walk-in pantry has more than enough space for a separate fridge and freezer. A wood heater provides warmth and character to this living zone.
A separate loungeroom adjoins the main living area and has French doors onto the verandah. An undercover alfresco dining area also adjoins the main living room and leads onto a large 12m x 8m deck, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the surrounding views.
Quality and attention to detail can also be found in the master bedroom suite (with its vast walk-in robe and ensuite), the main bathroom (with a freestanding bath with views out to the garden and Macedon Ranges), and even the over-sized laundry (with built-in ironing board and sewing machine nook) and the separate linen press/store room, which has a drop down ladder for access to the roof.
Outside, the property is just as impressive. There are 11 paddocks of varying sizes, which all have electric fencing and automatic water troughs (5 also have shelter sheds). There is a 60mx30m sand riding arena with 4 solar-powered lights and a viewing shelter, and a riding track around the perimeter of the horse paddocks. The stables/utilities shed includes 2 stables with auto waterers opening to large steel yards, hot water washbay, tackroom and feed area, cross tie, and automatic roller doors to the stable area, as well as 2 steel holding yards near the stables.
There is also a 3 car, fully lined and insulated garage with automatic roller doors, a separate large multi-purpose shed (that could house a further 8 cars) with 2 automatic roller doors, a fenced dam, 3 x 3700 litre water tank with pump (plus connection to town water), 3 phase power, 38 solar panels and a dual inverter system, a fox-proof chicken run, fencing around the house for dogs, an established vegetable garden and a new orchard with pear, apple, apricot and quince trees.
All of this within an hour’s drive of Melbourne, 30 minutes to Melbourne Airport, a short drive to both Riddells Creek and Gisborne train stations, and easy access to great schools and towns in the Macedon Ranges.
