59-61 The Ridge, Mount Eliza, Vic 3930

~ Architecture & Nature in Perfect Harmony ~

Where architecture yields to the landscape, this extraordinary 1.3-acre Mt Eliza estate offers a rare expression of luxury shaped by nature.

A sanctuary offering a close encounter with nature and a profound sense of seclusion. This enchanting home, studio and pool truly embrace the breathtaking landscape and stunning gardens that connect the native bushland with a tranquil creek and gentle waterfall that flows through the foot of the property.

Alive with exceptional birdlife, the enchanting gully creates a private world of remarkable beauty just moments from Mt Eliza Village, beaches and respected schools at either end of this revered leafy street.

Originally conceived during the 1980s by acclaimed Australian architect Peter Crone, celebrated for designing homes that respond sensitively to their environment, the residence has been thoughtfully extended and beautifully reimagined in recent years to create a home of remarkable scale, warmth and versatility.

Walls of glazing frame spectacular garden vistas from almost every room, while soaring skylights, warm cedar and rich natural materials create spaces that are both refined and deeply inviting.

The magnificent open plan living and dining domain forms the heart of the home, where an open fireplace anchors the space and expansive glazing captures picturesque views across the gardens to the solar-heated self-cleaning pool and alfresco entertaining pavilion, complete with an open fireplace and mains gas barbecue.

A sumptuous second lounge is currently curated as a wellness area complete with a gas fireplace, sleek bathroom, sauna and cold plunge, offering exceptional flexibility to use as guest accommodation, consulting rooms or an executive home office.

A gourmet kitchen is equally impressive with a substantial stone island, premium Neff steam and conventional ovens, gas cooktop, Zip Hydro Tap with chilled, sparkling and boiling water, walk-in pantry and direct access to a brick paved alfresco terrace.

Beyond a Japanese water garden, a substantial freestanding studio is currently configured as a premium gymnasium, with stacked sliding doors opening to the surrounding landscape. An adjoining office and ensuite make it ideal as guest accommodation, creative studio or independent retreat.

The main bedroom suite is a luxurious private retreat featuring a bespoke dressing room, an exquisite ensuite with stone oval bath, double shower and custom Corian twin vanity. A separate wing holds three further bedrooms, a beautifully appointed family bathroom and easy access to expansive rear lawns with a cricket net and inground trampoline.

Behind a sweeping driveway leading to a substantial four-car garage and double tandem carport, the home also includes keyless entry, security system with cameras throughout, ducted heating, reverse-cycle heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, in-floor heating, and electric awnings.

Occupying one of the largest landholdings in the neighbourhood, the estate also presents the rare opportunity to explore the future subdivision of part of the gardens into two or even three allotments (STCA), offering an exceptional combination of lifestyle, investment and long-term potential.
