Inspection by appointment.

Luxury and landscape merge magnificently on this tranquil 17-acre (approx.) property, proudly crowned by an architectural masterpiece. Designed by John Baird, Cuthbert and Partners, the visionary residence was ahead of its time. A row of laminated glass skylights lines the front verandah and gallery, while raked cedar-clad ceilings and expansive windows flood the interiors with natural light, framing spectacular scenery.

Meticulously renovated with the finest quality fittings and finishes, the residence remains true to its original brilliance. Nearly every room offers direct outdoor access, where manicured gardens are surrounded by breathtaking bushland.

Polished concrete floors adorn the main living and dining areas, fitted with custom cabinetry and anchored by a sleek black kitchen, equipped with premium appliances and stone countertops. A sunken lounge room with a stacked stone framed fireplace provides a separate retreat for relaxation. These areas open to extensive decking, complemented by an open pergola and overlooking a tennis court backdropped by the rolling hills of Kangaroo Ground.

Thoughtfully zoned accommodation consists of five robed bedrooms and four divinely modernised bathrooms, each showcasing a unique high-end design. Top and main floor master suites are situated within a striking triangular-roof wing, where expansive bushland vistas stretch to the Box Hill skyline.

On the lower ground level, a wine cellar with racks and a bench, and a gym space offer excellent versatility.

An impressive list of extras enhances this one-of-a-kind property, which is accessed via automatic gates, along a sweeping driveway. These include a laundry, a powder room, solar, a 72,700-litre water tank, an alarm, CCTV, split system heating/cooling units throughout, extensive internal storage, a chicken coop, garden lighting, a watering system fed from a large dam, a 4-car carport, a single garage, plus a top farm gate, facilitating additional vehicle parking and leading to a barn.

Close to an array of amenities, this property is an easy walk to the 578-bus stop. A peaceful country lifestyle with the convenience of suburban living, just 46 minutes from the CBD via EastLink. A short drive to the Yarra River, trails, reserves, Yarra Street’s shops and eateries, reputable schools and shopping centres.
