111 Obriens Lane, Longlea, Vic 3551

Set upon 20 acres of lush green countryside and bordering the seasonal Sweenies Creek and Axe Creek, this remarkable estate delivers the quintessential country lifestyle without compromising proximity to town. Offering complete privacy, timeless elegance and incredible infrastructure, it is a property that effortlessly balances refined living with the freedom and tranquillity that only a significant rural holding can provide.

Beyond a picturesque bridge crossing, the home reveals itself as wind through the driveway lined with established grapevines, mature trees and sculptured hedges. Framed by beautifully established cottage gardens, this is a residence where craftsmanship and character are on show, and exist with nature in perfect harmony.

From the moment you step through the tiled entrance, the home's attention to detail becomes immediately apparent. Rich Victorian-inspired textured wallpaper, intricate cornices, decorative ceiling roses, beautifully maintained cork flooring and handcrafted timber finishes celebrate elegance, while soaring raked cathedral ceilings create an incredible sense of scale and warmth. Sunlight filters through feature arch windows and timber French doors, illuminating every space and reinforcing the seamless connection between the home and its magnificent surrounds. Throughout the home, every room showcases carefully considered finishes that give the residence its unmistakable warmth and charm.

Designed for both relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining, the heart of the home centres around a beautifully appointed country kitchen, where Vic Ash timber cabinetry, a generous island bench and quality finishes provide a timeless space to gather. Up to date appliances are a feature, including all electric cooking facilities, whilst a generous butler's pantry provides further space and storage. The adjoining sunroom and dining area under cathedral ceiling captures peaceful garden vistas, while French doors provide a link to the outdoors and wood fired pizza oven.

The crackle of the cosy wood fire in the main living room is the centrepiece of an expansive central section of the home, and invites relaxing winter evenings spent with family and friends or the perfect setting for an afternoon with a good book and a glass of your favourite wine.

A secondary lounge adds flexibility to the home to ensure there are separate living spaces for a family. A stand alone study or home office branches off the lounge room and is perfect for a day and age where the ability to work from home is essential. Modern comforts including ducted heating and cooling ensure year-round enjoyment without compromising the home's authentic country character.


The accommodation is equally impressive, with a thoughtfully designed master suite offering a walk-through dressing room leading to a private ensuite, while the main bathroom features a classic clawfoot bath that perfectly reflects the home's enduring style. The remaining three bedrooms also feature their own incredible views and are complete with WIRs.

Stepping outdoors reveals a lifestyle dream that is simply cannot be replicated. Expansive brick-paved pathways and entertaining terraces meander through established rose gardens, ornamental mop tops and mature shade trees, creating countless places to sit, entertain or simply enjoy the serenity of the landscape. At the centre of the outdoor entertaining area, the authentic wood-fired pizza oven provides the perfect setting for memorable evenings, while the solar-heated swimming pool and its accompanying poolside pavilion create a private resort atmosphere surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens.

The land itself is as functional as it is beautiful. Multiple fenced paddocks provide endless possibilities for horses, hobby farming or simply enjoying the space that only acreage can provide, while secure yards ensure pets can roam safely. Backing directly onto both Sweenies Creek and Axe Creek, the property enjoys a rare natural setting enhanced by irrigation infrastructure and abundant water storage, allowing the gardens and grounds to flourish throughout every season.

Beyond its undeniable beauty, the property is exceptionally well equipped for country living, featuring a substantial 12m x 6m powered shed with dual roller doors, double garage with automatic access, extra height caravan port, a dam and extensive water storage including two 10,000-gallon tanks and a separate tank to assist with the pool water top ups.

Rarely does a property combine architectural character, exceptional craftsmanship, established gardens, premium infrastructure and breathtaking natural beauty so effortlessly. Offering complete privacy, enduring quality and an unrivalled lifestyle just moments from everyday conveniences, this remarkable estate is more than a home-it is a place to be cherished for generations.

A property of this calibre simply must be experienced.
