Fraser's Hill is an exceptional 198-acre income-producing farm set within the tightly held Mudgegonga Valley of North-East Victoria, commanding uninterrupted 360-degree views across Mounts Buffalo, Feathertop and Stanley, and the rolling ranges of the Kiewa and Ovens Valleys. Offering outstanding privacy, scale and natural beauty, this remarkable holding combines productive grazing land with a carefully designed, fully self-sufficient rural lifestyle.
At the centre of the property sits a striking, architect-designed solar-passive residence by award-winning architect Warren Foster. Thoughtfully positioned to capture light, warmth and views, the two-bedroom home is warm and sun-filled in winter, naturally cool in summer, and showcases exceptional craftsmanship throughout. Much of the timber used within the home has been harvested and milled on the property or locally salvaged, including shining gum flooring, bespoke internal doors, and handcrafted cabinetry. The open-plan living and dining zone is anchored by an Esse wood-fired stove for both heating and cooking, complemented by a second oven, double-glazed windows and doors, split-system air conditioning, and a beautifully detailed stone-clad fireplace.
Living off-grid does not compromise comfort. A sophisticated solar and battery system, supported by an auto-start generator, fully powers the home, two studios, workshops, pool systems and electric vehicle charging, while Starlink satellite internet and a Telstra repeater ensure reliable connectivity. Approximately five acres surrounding the homestead are securely fenced, gated and landscaped, creating a private sanctuary framed by gardens designed by renowned landscape architect Catherine O'Neill. Established in 2020, the gardens feature approximately 80 advanced trees, productive orchards, vineyard pergolas, rose arbours and layered plantings that provide year-round interest and shelter.
Outdoor living is enhanced by extensive reclaimed brick paving that connects the home, studios and gardens, along with a solar-heated 12-metre saltwater swimming pool finished with marble coping. A temperature-controlled wine cellar is cleverly embedded into the hillside, offering a unique and practical addition for collectors and entertainers alike.
Two independent, fully insulated studios add flexibility and income potential. The office studio overlooks a majestic 450-year-old Apple Gum and is ideal for remote work, while the workshop studio provides self-contained guest accommodation with scope for further expansion (STCA).
The broader farm comprises 198 acres (approximately 84 hectares) of gently undulating land divided into six paddocks, supported by excellent rainfall, quality red chromosol soils and reliable spring-fed water. Four dams, extensive troughing, rainwater storage and over seven kilometres of new fencing underpin a productive grazing operation with proven carrying capacity. Infrastructure includes a substantial multi-bay workshop, plant propagation facilities and a large hay shed suitable for machinery, fodder and storage.
With internal road access, dual road frontage, established plantation timber, abundant wildlife and close proximity to regional wineries, dining and alpine recreation, Fraser's Hill represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a landmark rural estate of enduring beauty, sustainability and productivity.
