978 Bacchus Marsh Road

Pairing the amenity of suburbia with the tranquillity of a country getaway, this more-than-10-acre estate with dams, paddocks, a tennis court, pool pavilion, and guesthouse to accompany the main abode is a land and lifestyle opportunity like no other. Placed at the foot of the Macedon Ranges and Lerderderg State Park with the Calder Freeway and Gisborne's shops, restaurants, pubs, cafés, respected schools, Golf Club, and city-bound trains literally minutes away, the property's grand gates and ultra-wide stance make an impression to last a lifetime. Comprising living/dining, study/lounge, and kitchenette/meals areas alongside a bedroom with a robe and ensuite, a separately accessed and lettable guesthouse is the perfect counterpart to an exceptional main home. Enjoying its own walk-in robe, ensuite, balcony access, and sweeping views to wake up to, a luxe master headlines accommodation, joined by a guest room with an ensuite, smart central bathroom, and two further, robe-lined bedrooms. With all the space and versatility a family could ever ask for, a sunken fireside lounge neighbours a casual meals zone and timber-top kitchen with premium appliances, spilling through bi-fold doors to northern and western wings simply unmatched in their entertainment prowess. Masses of glass and a broad terrace frame and capture nature outlooks in a western retreat with a gas-log fire, marble benches, and a teppanyaki grill, while to the north, a sizeable dining area adjoins an expansive rumpus room ideal for billiards, nights by the fire, watching sporting events with friends and family, and combining with other spaces to comfortably house the largest of gatherings. A peaceful backyard presents manicured gardens, a kids' playground, room to run around, and gazebo beside a full-size tennis court, while on the parcel's opposite end, an enclosed pool pavilion features an oversized pool with solar heating, spa, sauna, bathroom, changeroom, and all-day northern sun. Lifting appeal beyond compare, a completely separate hospitality/events space offers retractable café blinds and a full kitchen setup to be a dream for entertaining, while built-in bocce courts, mini-golf holes, and a giant chessboard ensure family occasions are always a joy. With the property rounded out by two paddocks stretching to a distant western boundary, other highlights include solar energy, bore water irrigation, split-system heating/cooling, camera/alarm security, cathedral ceilings, a full-size laundry, extra powder room, two bars, an oversized wine cellar, various sheds for machinery and potential stable use, two separate garages, and secure parking for countless further vehicles.
