Central Victorian Country Estate with Every Indulgence

Capturing Central Victoria’s finest panoramic rural views, Sunset Lodge offers outstanding new luxury for exclusive country living. Perched high on Porcupine Ridge plateau 7-minutes to Daylesford and 1 hour and 15 minutes from Melbourne, this state-of-the-art home by architects Interlandi Mantesso is imposing in its surrounds, situated on 45 hectares (111 acres approx. over 2 titles) of rolling pastures and bushland.

The blend of opulent living, panoramic vistas of the Great Dividing Range, and outstanding infrastructure are the cornerstones of this extraordinary five-bedroom plus study property. The interior delivers grand-scale indulgence, from the expansive entry foyer with a framed view of Mount Franklin welcoming you, to two wings branching out to zoned living and bedroom spaces. Outside is exemplary, with John-Patrick designed landscaping, a heated pool, and all the equipment, water storage, new fencing and usage options you could wish for.

A vision for refined indulgence is at the heart of the vast main living and dining zone, with soaring walls of double-glazed glass to take in views across lush paddocks and across to the pool. It’s the ultimate relax and reset space, perfect for entertaining or quiet weekends away cocooned by polished concrete heated floors, high ply-lined ceilings, and a Scala travertine feature wall encasing a French-made Axis fireplace.

Fine design brings premium quality and interior style to every room, including the main bedroom suite. It’s north-facing and sumptuous, with an ensuite bath ideal for soaking up the views, a spacious dressing room, and excellent zoning. Family and guests will love having their own wing of four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a games room/TV retreat. Working remotely is effortless in the brilliant study, featuring a full-width desk, hidden storage and a garden to gaze out to.

There’s every feature you could wish for in the gourmet kitchen and butler’s pantry, including Caesarstone Concetto benchtops, a Vintec wine fridge, two Smeg ovens, an induction cooktop, and direct access to the built-in Weber-equipped barbecue zone. Bathrooms are beautifully appointed, and European designer lighting balances form and function. Year-round comfort is easy with in-floor hydronic heating to the main living area and main bedroom suite, and ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning throughout.

Precision planning puts Sunset Lodge in a class of its own. It starts with a winding avenue of gum trees leading to the vast arrival forecourt, it shows on the wraparound Modwood deck where you can dine undercover and admire the scale of this property, and continues to a spacious mudroom and laundry, walk-in linen room and separate storeroom. Custom-made joinery, Signorino tiles, black tapware, hardwearing Dekton surfaces, and garden lighting illuminating majestic gum trees are just a sample of the many carefully chosen features. Located over 2 separate titles, the property backs onto the State Forest.

Everyday practicality is enhanced with six fenced paddocks, drought-resistant and irrigated landscaping, three-car undercover parking at the front door, remote-control courtyard gates, solar power, a machinery shed, two dams, ample bore water, and 180,000 litres of water tank storage.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an exclusive property without peer, easily accessed from the Melbourne CBD and enticingly close to Central Victoria’s food, wine and tourism destinations.
