1230 Jellicoe Road

Open by-appointment only. If you haven't quite found 'The One' because your dream includes space for everyone - your family, grandparents, and/or the grownup children's children, this stunning once-in-a-lucky-moon property is calling (all) your name(s). Standing proudly on 23.5 acres of Glen Forrest beauty, it sings to bring everyone you love. This is a generational stronghold where everyone from Grandpa and his veggie patch obsession to the future babies your children and their partners are talking about can all co-exist without compromise. And the seclusion. It's the blissful kind that comes with a winding driveway through towering trees, panoramic views, birdsong instead of traffic, and sunsets that will make your dinner conversations pause mid-sentence. Everyone grows up barefoot and brave, weekends are spent swimming and eating and laughing on repeat, and where everyone can still find a special corner (or acre) to claim as their own. If you've been house hunting for a while now, you'll know how rare this is: acreage of this scale, with this level of infrastructure, and two homes under the one roof that have been designed to support how real families live. The main residence is a 1975 architect-designed brick and tile home with a bespoke floorplan that feels both grand and deeply comfortable. A proper entry hall sets the tone leading to a ballroom-sized lounge warmed by an open fire. Are you already imagining next Christmas here? The dining room is equally generous, ready for large tables and loud laughter, while the sunroom draws the outdoors in, morning light pouring across tiled floors. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms anchor the home, including a main suite that feels more retreat than bedroom, complete with breathtaking views and a private decked balcony that will ruin every hotel stay forever. There's a large home office for serious WFHers, a separate kitchen and meals area that keeps life practical, and an activity zone that gives kids their own domain. And then there's the second residence, added in 1988 and seamlessly under the same roof. With its own entry hall, two ensuite bedrooms, a large study, open-plan informal living and excellent storage, it offers genuine independence for another family, older children, or long-term guests, without ever feeling like an afterthought. Both homes have been freshly painted and carpeted, so the hard work is done and the focus can shift straight to the very best of living. Features Include: • Multi-generational home on 23.5 acres • Seclusion, stunning views & room for 2 generations • Main residence built in 1975 • Architect-designed brick & tile home with bespoke floorplan • 3 bedrooms • 3 bathrooms • Grand entry hall • Ballroom-size lounge room with open fire • Huge formal dining room • Main suite with amazing views & decked balcony • Large home office • Separate kitchen & meals area • Dedicated activity area for kids • Large patio entertaining area overlooking below-ground freeform concrete pool • Outdoor kitchen • Double garage with storeroom • Second residence added in 1988 • Purpose-built for a second family • Own entry hall • 2 bedrooms • 2 ensuites • Large study • Open-plan informal living • Plenty of storage throughout • 2 decked entertaining areas • Large under-croft area • Both homes under the same roof, both freshly painted & carpeted throughout • Extensively landscaped gardens, fully irrigated • 4 x 92,000-gallon water tanks • Large dam • Fire suppression sprinkler system • Old stone outbuilding • Lush fish pond • Winding driveway through the trees • 9.52 hectares / 23.5 acres Outside, the land does what only acreage of this calibre can do - buffers you from everything and lets everyone breathe. Extensive, fully irrigated landscaped gardens soften lead you towards a large patio that overlooks a below-ground, freeform concrete pool, complete with outdoor kitchen so there'll be no negotiating who has to fetch and carry the drinks. Long summer days blur into evenings here, with no need to rush anywhere at all. Two decked entertaining areas extend the second residence, while a large undercroft space opens up possibilities for a workshop for creative pursuits or just storage to get all the stuff out of the way. Again, the infrastructure is outstanding, with four 92,000-gallon water tanks, a large dam, a fire suppression sprinkler system and an old stone outbuilding that whispers of history (and potential!) This is 9.52 hectares of possibility, privacy, and permanence. Rare. Remarkable. And ready for the next family to make it their own.
