Set across 10 acres of private, beautifully considered countryside, 193 Short Road is an exceptional lifestyle estate where spectacular architecture, sophisticated sustainability and world-class infrastructure come together against an extraordinary 180-degree panorama of the Macedon Ranges.
From its elevated position, the property captures an ever-changing rural landscape, with sweeping views and paddocks visible from almost every room. Privacy and tranquillity are complemented by a remarkable sense of space, creating a rare opportunity to enjoy a truly refined country lifestyle without compromise.
The residence makes an immediate impression with its distinctive use of reused handmade bricks, elegant corbels and rendered finishes, creating a timeless architectural presence. Inside, expansive 10-foot ceilings, rich Brush-box timber floors and floor-to-ceiling triple-glazed windows with European tilt-and-turn hardware draw abundant natural light across the home while framing the breathtaking outlook.
Thoughtfully designed for family living, the accommodation includes four generous bedrooms and three bathrooms, highlighted by a luxurious master wing with a beautifully appointed ensuite and walk-in robe. A dedicated study and glass-wrapped studio provide exceptional flexibility for those working from home, pursuing creative interests or requiring additional space.
At the heart of the home, the sophisticated kitchen combines European stone surfaces, gas and electric appliances, a generous breakfast bar and a walk-in butler's pantry, flowing effortlessly into expansive living and entertaining spaces.
Sustainability has been integral to the home's design. A north-facing orientation, passive solar principles, quality insulation and a 7.6-star energy rating work together to deliver impressive year-round efficiency. A Cheminees Philippe fireplace and three split-system units provide comfortable climate control, while the home's energy-conscious design contributes to typical electricity costs of approximately $115 per month, including the vendors working from home.
Beyond the residence, the property reveals an extraordinary level of infrastructure, purpose-built for equestrian pursuits, collectors, enthusiasts and those seeking genuine commercial versatility.
The equestrian facilities include:
• Indoor arena 40m x 21m
• 60m x 20m Olympic-sized outdoor arena
• Substantial barn with four stables
• Dedicated tack room and heated horse wash
• Multiple paddocks with concrete water troughs
• Carefully designed paddock layout providing convenient access to stables and arenas
• Paddocks visible from most rooms of the residence
• Red gum post-and-rail fencing creating a timeless rural aesthetic
• 115,000-litre underground concrete structural water tank
Then there is "Jeff's Shed" - an extraordinary 30m x 16m heated and lined facility incorporating a bathroom, laundry, mezzanine and parking for more than 10 vehicles. Equally suited to an automotive collection, workshop, creative enterprise, serious hobby or small-business operation, it adds an entirely new dimension to the property's versatility.
An integrated triple garage further complements the exceptional storage and vehicle accommodation.
Every element of 193 Short Road has been thoughtfully considered, from its sustainable architectural design and substantial water storage to its quality red gum fencing and purpose-built equestrian and workshop infrastructure.
This is far more than an impressive country residence. It is a meticulously designed estate where breathtaking views, architectural quality, environmental performance and exceptional infrastructure have been brought together to create something truly distinctive.
For those seeking privacy, space and an uncompromising rural lifestyle, this is a property of rare scale, quality and opportunity - with the Macedon Ranges providing a spectacular backdrop to it all.
