515 Barringo Road, Mount Macedon

Ensconced by the spectacular natural beauty of the Macedon Ranges, this exceptional 15-acre property offers a premium lifestyle opportunity, providing the ultimate in privacy and seclusion without compromising on convenience.

Surrounded by parklike grounds, the beautiful elevated residence commands awe-inspiring mountain views while embracing a versatile layout that offers generous family living while providing for separation and congregation as required – ideal for intergenerational family living, guest accommodation, or use as a BnB.

Quality craftsmanship contributes to the home's timeless appeal, with a deep return veranda offering the perfect vantage point to soak in the panoramic vistas. Inside, picture windows frame the picturesque views from the spacious living/dining/billiards room with an open fireplace, while a 2nd living area with a wood-fuelled heater, and a casual meals area surround the generous timber kitchen with a breakfast bar, glass splashback, Miele oven, cooktop, and a dishwasher.

Accommodation options are plentiful and cleverly designed for flexibility with three distinct wings. The main bedroom retreat features a walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a stone-topped twin vanity, spa bath, and oversized niched shower. There are two bedrooms off the living/dining area with built-in robes and a shared bathroom. An additional wing can be independently accessed, while offering seamless interaction with the rest of the house if desired and comprises a bedroom with a retreat and garden access, plus a study/5th bedroom, and a utility room/kitchenette.

Outdoor living is a true highlight of this property. An undercover entertaining and fenced spa area offers a private oasis for relaxation. For those who love to entertain, a paved area with a fire pit creates the perfect setting for dining alfresco. Meandering pathways weave through the magical gardens, where natural water features and an ornamental windmill create a romantic feel, while curated formal areas and expansive lawns elegantly descend to the property's dam – perfect for kayaking and wildlife observation.

An added bonus is the 18m x 7.5m shed, another versatile space with a loft, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, double glazing, and heating/cooling (all subject to relevant approvals) offering potential for workshops, independent studio accommodation, or a great teen retreat, while also providing extra parking. The property also includes a 4-car carport, reverse cycle air conditioning, ducted heating, solar panels, a water tank, garden shed, and woodshed.
