Shepherd’s Bush - A Gardener’s Garden
Discover an exceptional architect-designed residence, set amidst the stunning natural beauty of Mount Macedon. This meticulously crafted home embraces a contemporary and minimalist aesthetic, expertly incorporating robust materials like stacked blockwork, Kingspan insulation, and full-height double glazing. Designed with passive solar principles in mind, it offers remarkable energy efficiency and sustainability.
The residence features a separate formal entry, a two-storey gallery, and a spacious formal lounge and dining area complete with a wood combustion heater and hydronic heating panels. The modern kitchen is equipped with a Miele induction cooktop and electric oven, an Aga Rayburn stove, generous drawer space, a 900mm dishwasher, a large pantry, and a mudroom, connected to a two-car garage. A guest room/study and bathroom complete the ground level. A striking floating staircase serves as a visual centrepiece, leading to the upper level where you'll find the luxurious master suite. This retreat boasts breathtaking garden views, sliding doors to a private terrace, and a sleek, expansive ensuite. Finally, a third bedroom /guest room with a walk-in robe and access to the en suite.
The property offers three large open terraces, perfect for enjoying the garden views throughout the year, regardless of the weather. The beautifully maintained English-style garden spans approximately one hectare, featuring charming dry stone walls and a diverse array of cool-climate plants such as Rhododendrons, Maples, Conifers, Viburnums, and Dogwoods. Seasonal highlights include Spring blooms like Lily of the Valley, Daffodils, Bluebells, Tulips; Summer’s Hydrangeas, Lilies, Lupins, Dahlias; and the vibrant autumn foliage beneath 100-year-old Oaks lining the lower driveway.
Additional amenities include a garden studio, a spacious basement storage and workshop area, a secure water supply from a 2-megalitre annual license sourced from Willimigongon Creek, 43,000 litres of garden water storage, 30,000 litres of rainwater storage, and solar hot water system.
The admired Shepherd's Bush Instagram account (#shepherdsbushgardenmtmacedon) showcasing and cataloguing the garden, will also be handed over to the new custodians.
Situated in a prestigious Mount Macedon location, this property offers both proximity to Melbourne and a serene, secluded retreat. It is ideal for use as a permanent residence or a country getaway, just an hour’s drive from the city.
