1010 Romsey Road

Set amid the rolling beauty of tightly held Hesket, this remarkable lifestyle property presents an extraordinary opportunity to secure space, privacy and timeless country charm on approximately 13.66 hectares. Positioned between Woodend and Romsey and bordering the picturesque Kerrie Valley, the home enjoys sweeping panoramic outlooks across the surrounding countryside, with captivating views towards Hanging Rock and the rugged Cobaw Ranges. Substantial in both scale and design, the residence offers an expansive multi-level floorplan thoughtfully crafted for large families, multigenerational living or those seeking flexible guest accommodation. Multiple living zones provide room to gather or retreat in comfort, while five generous bedrooms ensure ample space for family and visitors alike. The privately positioned main suite is complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the lower and upper levels create exceptional versatility for extended family, teenagers or potential guest stays (STCA). At the heart of the home, a beautifully appointed country kitchen combines warmth and practicality with solid timber cabinetry, extensive bench space, a large butler's pantry and quality appliances including a Smeg oven, induction cooktop and dishwasher. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the open-plan meals and living area is enhanced by ducted heating and a striking Cheminee Philippe wood fireplace, creating an inviting setting throughout the seasons. A separate lounge offers yet another peaceful space to unwind, while expansive windows throughout the home frame picturesque garden and rural vistas from every angle. Wide verandahs and generous entertaining decks wrap around the main level, inviting effortless indoor-outdoor living and providing the perfect place to enjoy morning sunrises, evening sunsets and the tranquillity of the landscape. Established gardens surround the home with an impressive collection of mature plantings including rhododendrons, camellias and maples, while an orchard, handcrafted dry-stone walls, charming stone outbuilding and animal enclosure further enhance the property's appeal. Equally impressive are the practical improvements, including substantial shedding, abundant storage, a large laundry/mudroom ideal for country living and a reliable spring-fed water supply servicing the home, gardens and paddocks, complemented by extensive tank storage. A 7.5kW solar system further contributes to ongoing efficiency. (The existing windmill is decommissioned.) The land itself is a standout feature, offering gently undulating paddocks, stunning elevated vantage points and endless possibilities for hobby farming, equestrian pursuits, lifestyle enjoyment or boutique accommodation potential (STCA). Rarely does a holding of this calibre, with such captivating scenery and lifestyle appeal, become available in this tightly held location. A truly exceptional country retreat where comfort, beauty and opportunity come together.
