Privately positioned, this grand two-storey residence is undeniably one of the hidden jewels of Mount Macedon

Originally built in the early 1980s and extensively renovated since, this two-story home has a total living area of approximately 679m (73 squares). It is exceptionally well equipped for car enthusiasts, collectors, hobbyists or anyone requiring serious storage with its integrated garage of 69m (7.5 squares) beneath the main roofline, supplemented by separate four car garaging and substantial machinery sheds.

Approached through automated entrance gates, the long, sensor-lit circular bitumen driveway leads through the mature, professionally landscaped grounds to a protected 6.8m x 9.3m porte-cochere creating an immediate sense of arrival and seclusion.

The home is extremely well suited to family living, working and entertaining.

Accommodation on the ground floor comprises entrance hall, guest powder room and a primary home office. At the heart of the home is a large, beautifully appointed provincial style kitchen featuring a Falcon range cooker, supported by a generous walk-in pantry and separate butler's pantry/laundry. The combined dining area and separate sitting areas, one with its own fireplace, creates a warm and relaxed everyday living space.

Entertaining is particularly well catered for. A substantial billiards and games room with Cheminees Philippe fireplace and a casual bar creates an impressive yet relaxed gathering space, while a dedicated theatre room with its own cocktail bar provide further options for entertaining. A sauna with adjoining shower and WC adds another distinctive amenity.

Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a substantial main suite with private ensuite and a generous walk-in robe/dressing area. Two bedrooms open directly to a 10m x 4.5m balcony overlooking the gardens, one adapted to include a purpose-built library and separate home office space. An additional bedroom hosts its own sitting area/retreat

Outdoor living is equally considered, with generous alfresco and BBQ areas providing relaxed spaces for long lunches, family gatherings and larger celebrations.

Beyond the house, the property reveals itself gradually. Sweeping lawns and magnificent mature trees — including English oaks more than a century old — give way to secluded corners and secret gardens. A large private lake, rare double frontage to the cascading Turritable Creek and a small waterfall create an unexpected sense of escape and discovery. The rear of the property provides separate access from Turritable Road to a large machinery shed and workshop.

Practical infrastructure includes an updated Daikin heating and cooling system, security system, substantial water storage, dedicated fire-fighting equipment and a large back-up power supply generator.

What distinguishes this property is not simply its size, but the extraordinary combination already in place — a substantial family residence, mature gardens, century-old trees, water, multiple entertaining spaces, flexible work-from-home options, serious garaging and extensive supporting infrastructure.

Private, established and wonderfully individual, this is a property of genuine scale, substance and character — with far more to discover than first meets the eye.
