Offered for the 1st time in over 30 years, this breathtaking 5-acre (approx.) lifestyle property combines classic Australian character with impressive contemporary liveability in a blue-ribbon Macedon Ranges setting. Surrounded by the natural beauty for which the region is renowned and only a short drive from Gisborne township, it presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure established acreage with substantial infrastructure.
A circular driveway sweeps toward the home, where a lovely veranda establishes timeless country appeal. Inside, generous proportions and high ceilings create an immediate sense of space, with an entry foyer preceding a vast carpeted lounge, providing a substantial setting for family relaxation and entertaining.
The open concept domain brings living, dining, and kitchen together with natural ease. A wood-fuelled heater warms the living area, while the kitchen makes a handsome statement with expanses of granite across the island and splashback, elegantly appointed with a coffee station, 900mm SMEG upright oven, and Bosch dishwasher.
Entertaining continues outdoors beneath a vaulted pergola equipped with a plumbed servery, while a fire pit area provides another inviting place to gather amid the surrounding landscape. Accommodation comprises 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a primary bedroom suite with an updated luxury ensuite featuring a frameless glass walk-in niched shower and twin vanity. The home also includes split system heating/cooling and ceiling fans.
Outside, reclaimed brick pathways meander through magical English-style gardens surrounding the home, where Buxus, roses, mature pine trees, verdant lawns, seasonal bulbs, native plantings, and Japanese maples create layers of colour and texture. Apple trees, a herb garden, a henhouse, and chicken coop further enrich the country setting.
Beyond the garden, 4 paddocks are supplied with water, including one with a shelter. Exceptional infrastructure comprises a 4-bay powered and concreted shed with an additional 2 open bays, plus a 2nd shed with an attached high-clearance carport suitable for caravan, boat, or horse float parking. A versatile office/studio room, single carport, backup generator providing off-grid capacity, and electric front gate add further practicality.
Water security is equally impressive, with a dam featuring a pontoon and pump supplying outdoor taps, 66,000-litre water tanks, and a bore. Neighbouring Bullengarook Recreation Reserve, the property is zoned to Gisborne Primary School and Gisborne Secondary College, with Lerderderg National Park and Wombat State Forest also nearby and the heart of Gisborne township only a short drive away. A superb lifestyle setting of enduring country character.
