BROOKFIELD MAZE AND LIFESTYLE ESTATE.
1121 Benalla-Whitfield Road, Myrrhee VIC 3732
Framed by Fifteen Mile Creek in North East Victoria's King Valley region, Brookfield Maze and Lifestyle Estate, presents an exceptional acquisition opportunity. Combining a private family residence, a fully equipped licensed café, self-contained accommodation, and a truly amazing substantial hedge maze, open to the public and delighting young and old every weekend, on approximately 2.284 hectares of freehold land plus an additional Crown land leasehold. Far more than a home, this one of a kind estate offers a complete lifestyle and business platform where an incoming custodian can live, work, welcome others and create joy without leaving home.
The principal residence spans approximately 324 square metres (excluding verandah's) and features five generous bedrooms (or four plus study/rumpus), including a master retreat with a walk-in robe and full ensuite. The upper level provides a versatile space opening onto a private balcony, while the ground level includes expansive lounge and dining areas with floor-to-ceiling windows capturing tranquil garden views. Climate control is well provided for with a solid-fuel wood heater, an 8kW split-system air conditioner, and gas heating. Deep verandah's extend to a shaded outdoor entertaining space and a 12-metre solar-heated, in-ground swimming pool framed by sandstone paving.
Designed and orientated to operate independently from the main home, visitor infrastructure delivers multiple income streams, with the ability to add more if desired. This really is a fabulous location for weddings, functions or any gathering of family or community. The vibrant 182-square-metre licensed café features indoor seating for 60 guests, alfresco dining, a commercial kitchen, and a 15 kW solar array (60 panels). A fully self-contained cottage, provides accommodation in a 103-square-metre two-bedroom guesthouse featuring a kitchen, living room with wood heater, and spa bathroom. The central attraction to this fabulous holding though really is the hedge maze, with over 1.1 kilometres of gravel paths with viewing tower, set amid three acres of landscaped gardens featuring a labyrinth, giant lawn games, bocce court, and scenic trails to Fifteen Mile Creek-all easily maintained part-time.
Operational infrastructure includes a 6-inch bore tested at 56 L/min supported by a 5 ML groundwater licence, a 5 ML Fifteen Mile Creek irrigation licence, and approximately 102,000 litres of concrete tank storage. Power is supplied via an upgraded 3-phase connection and integrated generator changeover capabilities. Outbuildings include a 252-square-metre main shed with space for six cars and a secure 56-square-metre lockup workshop, three additional garden sheds, and horse paddock space with an automatic water trough. The property is zoned Farming (FZ) under the Rural City of Wangaratta, with existing permits covering outdoor leisure, a licensed restaurant, group accommodation, and ancillary parking.
While currently operated two days per week to suit the vendor's preferred schedule, an incoming purchaser would have the opportunity to continue what is working exceptionally well at present, or develop further to include weddings, corporate retreats, wellness workshops, and expanded accommodation offerings.
Brookfield Maze and Lifestyle Estate is a one of kind property with not only income potential but what many are looking to achieve, a true lifestyle balance, with the joy that comes with sharing something very special indeed with others who will walk away feeling a little brighter for the encounter.
