340 Eastern Hill Road

Set upon approximately 36 magnificent hectares of undulating grasslands, sculptural ravines, and ancient gum trees, this extraordinary rural property captures the rarest essence of Australian country living. Here, nature is both backdrop and companion from the pristine waters of Deep Creek winding gently through native grass flats to the morning light that drifts across open paddocks alive with birdlife and kangaroos. This is a landscape that breathes tranquil, timeless, and deeply restorative and at its heart stands a contemporary home that feels born of its surroundings. Designed to sit quietly within the land, it is a masterwork of form, materiality, and environmental harmony. Constructed from recycled brick, timber, concrete, and glass, it embodies authenticity and soul, while its Sugar Gum timber and Shou Sugi Ban cladding a striking charred finish that requires minimal painting gives the home an elemental, sculptural beauty. Inside, the architecture invites you to slow down and connect. Expansive living spaces flow beneath timber-lined vaulted ceilings, polished concrete floors, and exposed brickwork, with a magnificent stone fireplace built from the property's own materials. Every wide picture window is a frame for nature sweeping views across rolling hills and the shimmer of distant mountains. The kitchen is a work of craftsmanship, finished with bespoke joinery, Jarrah timber veneer and stainless-steel benchtops, and fitted with premium appliances including a Blanco oven, Bosch cooktop, and Miele dishwasher. A second sitting room adds versatility, while the library offers quiet seclusion and garden views. Three generous bedrooms include a primary suite with walk-through robe, study, and an exquisite ensuite that blends global and artisanal design featuring repurposed Japanese cabinetry, Indian mirrors, and a rain shower overlooking the landscape. The second bathroom continues the natural aesthetic with a freestanding bath and a handcrafted timber vanity topped with a stone basin. Outdoors, a north-facing pergola invites long, sunlit afternoons, and the surrounding landscape is as productive as it is picturesque. There's a stone barn studio with power and water, an enclosed vegetable garden with seven irrigated beds, fruit trees including apple, pear, cherry, fig, and olive, and extensive post-and-rail fencing built from timber harvested on the property. Sustainability and self-sufficiency are key. A 13.5kW solar array with twin inverters supports mains power, while approximately 95,000 litres of rainwater storage and multiple bores sustain both home and garden. Double-brick construction, timber windows, and 6-star insulation ensure comfort year-round, complemented by reverse cycle heating, cooling, and a grand stone fireplace for winter warmth. Here, beauty and solitude intertwine. The land itself tells a story of flowing water, wild places, and the enduring majesty of ancient gums. Yet, despite its sense of seclusion, this remarkable property lies just ten minutes from Daylesford, within easy reach of Kyneton, Trentham, Castlemaine and Ballarat, and a little over an hour from Melbourne. ** We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable, however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
