A rare fusion of heritage charm and contemporary excellence, this extraordinary residence redefines refined country living. Seamlessly integrating a beautifully restored 1880s miner’s cottage with architecturally striking new additions, the home unfolds as a private sanctuary of understated luxury, immersed in one of Trentham’s most enchanting botanical settings.
Hidden from view and free from neighbouring intrusion, yet just a leisurely stroll from Trentham’s historic village centre, this three-bedroom plus study masterpiece offers the ultimate balance of seclusion and convenience. Each season becomes a living artwork, framed by mature gardens and curated outdoor rooms that envelop the home in colour, texture and tranquillity.
Gallery-inspired hallways connect four distinct wings, creating a sense of flow and quiet sophistication. Expanses of glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, drawing the garden deep into the home and bathing the interiors in natural light. At the centre, a breathtaking kitchen and dining pavilion anchors the residence beneath vaulted ceilings and authentic Sydney Railway trusses.
Here, timeless materials and exceptional craftsmanship take centre stage: hand-painted French-style cabinetry, natural stone surfaces, bespoke solid oak storage and a dramatic 3-metre Caesarstone island with integrated power and USB points. State-of-the-art European appliances include a 1200mm Ilve Quadra stove with teppanyaki grill, twin ovens, an integrated Liebherr wine fridge, Miele and Asko appliances, and a professionally ducted Qasair rangehood. Velux skylights, both fixed and opening with rain sensors, flood the space with daylight, while antiqued-mirror splashback tiles add a subtle layer of glamour.
A butler’s pantry with a second integrated dishwasher creates a seamless connection for entertaining. Outdoors, hydrangeas, palms and towering oak trees define intimate garden rooms designed for long alfresco lunches and twilight gatherings.
Set apart within its own private pavilion, the living room offers a beautifully immersive connection to the gardens. Craftsman-laid French oak herringbone floors anchor the space with timeless elegance, while windows on all sides capture ever-changing botanical views. Designed for year-round enjoyment, the pavilion is an inviting winter retreat beside the fire, and in warmer months transforms effortlessly as full-height double doors are thrown open, allowing birdsong and greenery to flow through. It is a space equally suited to intimate evenings or relaxed gatherings, where architecture and landscape exist in perfect harmony.
Accommodation is thoughtfully zoned for privacy and comfort. The main suite occupies its own wing, opening through French doors to a private terrace. This indulgent retreat features a generous dressing room and a showstopping ensuite, where a Victoria & Albert volcanic limestone bath is perfectly positioned beneath a picture window overlooking lush greenery. Two further bedrooms each enjoy their own adjoining bathroom, offering exceptional flexibility for family or guests. The study/4th bedroom offers practicality or further accommodation when family come to stay.
Practical luxury continues in the bespoke laundry, appointed with oak-lined cabinetry, under-bench hampers, a recessed Robinhood ironing centre and a Topline remote-controlled drying rack.
Every detail has been considered to deliver a superior standard of living: engineered limed oak flooring, gallery hanging systems, double-glazed windows with retractable flyscreens, zoned reverse-cycle heating and cooling, automated blinds, skylights, irrigation, garage and a 6.57kW solar system.
Moments from celebrated cafés, restaurants and the charm of Trentham village, approximately 75 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD and 20 minutes from Daylesford, this exceptional residence offers a rare opportunity to embrace an elevated lifestyle amid Central Victoria’s most beautiful surrounds. An address of quiet prestige. A home of enduring beauty.
