There are places that make you stop and take in the view. Then there are places where the view becomes part of life. Across 16 acres of rolling pasture, this remarkable property brings together a beautifully designed family residence, extraordinary equestrian infrastructure, superb entertaining spaces and a northern outlook that seems to go on forever.
The single-level Lucas Morris residence makes an immediate impression with its striking water feature, soaring ceilings and wonderful sense of volume. Engineered timber floors, plush carpets and considered lighting create a sophisticated warmth.
The architecture is at its best in the expansive living spaces, where formal and casual zones flow effortlessly together and huge windows draw the landscape inside. Beyond them, the view stretches over the saltwater pool, across the rolling pasture and towards distant mountain ranges. It is an extraordinary outlook, changing constantly with the seasons, weather and light.
At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been beautifully appointed with new cabinetry, quality appliances and stone surfaces, creating a highly functional space that remains connected to the living and entertaining areas. Custom joinery continues throughout the residence, adding both warmth and practicality.
The accommodation is equally impressive, with generous bedrooms offering the flexibility to accommodate family and guests with ease. The main bedroom is a particularly beautiful retreat, complete with a brand-new dressing room and luxurious ensuite. Double-glazed windows throughout enhance the home's comfort, energy efficiency and wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.
Outside, the home takes full advantage of its extraordinary setting. The covered entertaining area has everything required for year-round enjoyment, including a superb outdoor kitchen and heaters, while the pool and expansive lawns create a spectacular backdrop for summer gatherings. This is outdoor living on a genuinely impressive scale equally suited to a quiet afternoon overlooking the countryside or a large celebration with family and friends.
Beyond the house, the property is remarkably well equipped for equestrian pursuits and country living. Nine fenced paddocks, five dams, mains water, water supplied to five paddocks, holding yards, stables and a floodlit Olympic-sized ménage provide an exceptional foundation for horses, while substantial shedding offers space for vehicles, machinery, equipment and hobbies.
An established fruiting orchard, enclosed cattery/kennel and the sheer amount of usable space further broaden the possibilities.
And yet, despite the scale and capability of the property, the feeling is unmistakably that of a home. A place where family life can unfold with room to breathe, where horses are part of the everyday landscape, where entertaining can move effortlessly between inside and out, and where the extraordinary view is simply there to be enjoyed.
The location completes the picture. The metropolitan train line is only 10 minutes away, esteemed schools and relaxed shopping are within easy reach, and Melbourne CBD is less than an hour from home. It is a rare combination genuine country space and infrastructure without surrendering the convenience of the city.
Sixteen acres. A remarkable residence. A spectacular outlook. Infrastructure of a calibre rarely found this close to Melbourne. And, perhaps most importantly, a sense of place that cannot be replicated.
