Positioned across 100 acres (approx.) of rolling Barrabool countryside, this impressive rural holding offers privacy, wide-reaching views and outstanding versatility. The substantial five-bedroom residence is complemented by extensive entertaining facilities, quality shedding and established infrastructure, creating a property equally suited to family living, equine interests, grazing or agricultural pursuits.
The home combines Old Geelong Red brick, recycled timber posts sourced from the Melbourne wharves and large windows that draw the surrounding landscape indoors. Glazed breezeways connect the different wings, while high ceilings, custom joinery, timber flooring, wool carpets and polished concrete bring warmth and practicality to the interiors.
A dedicated accommodation wing comprises four generously sized bedrooms with excellent storage, two family bathrooms and a separate powder room. Positioned apart for privacy, the main bedroom features a large walk-in robe, an ensuite with freestanding bath, polished concrete flooring and broad windows capturing views across the pool and surrounding hills.
The main living zone incorporates a well-appointed kitchen featuring Miele appliances, Calacatta marble, engineered stone surfaces and timber cabinetry, supported by a butler’s pantry and adjoining multipurpose room. The open-plan family and meals area centres around a Nectre wood fire and extends directly to the covered alfresco deck, while a separate living room provides further space for relaxation. Outdoor heating, a ceiling fan and integrated sound make the alfresco area comfortable across the seasons.
Beyond the deck, the swimming pool is accompanied by a well-equipped pool house with a built-in barbecue, fridge, sink, bathroom and dual outdoor showers. A nearby courtyard adds another option for entertaining, while extensive garaging, storage and an adjoining bar area provide flexibility for vehicles, hobbies and social gatherings.
The separate shed complex considerably expands the property’s capabilities, incorporating a showroom, a large main shed, and dedicated machinery and hay storage. On the upper level, a substantial games, bar and entertainment room includes a kitchenette, powder room and private balcony, making it ideal for entertaining or a range of recreational uses.
Further infrastructure includes 23kW solar, a Tesla Powerwall, generator backup, CCTV security and approximately 266,000 litres of rainwater storage capacity. Two dams, and six securely fenced paddocks support a variety of rural activities, from horses and livestock to lifestyle farming or an income-producing agricultural enterprise.

Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre, Leisurelink Aquatic and Recreation Centre, Deakin University and Epworth Private Hospital are all approximately 12 minutes away, while the renowned Surf Coast beaches of Torquay are just 20 minutes from home.
