The Racecourse
Crafted in 2000 and nestled within the embrace of time-honoured elegance, a sprawling classic Victorian homestead gracefully stands upon approximately 89 acres of lush land in the Beautiful Macedon Ranges region. Here, amidst the grandeur of ancient Oaks, majestic Elms, and meticulously landscaped gardens, the Mt Gisborne Home whispers tales of a bygone era, woven seamlessly with modern comforts.
Upon crossing the threshold through the stained glass front door, the stunning details and conscious design of this homestead immediately captivate. To the right, a living/library, a haven for quiet contemplation anchored by sash windows and an open fireplace. To the left, a separate formal dining room adorned with the warmth of a Cheminees Philippe double fireplace beckons gatherings of kin and friends. Passing through to the open-plan living, meals, and timeless kitchen, resplendent with granite benchtops, a walk-in pantry, and designer appliances, inspires culinary adventures.
Adorned with 11ft ceilings, exquisite detailed dado wallpaper and plush soft furnishings, each corner of this home exudes a sense of refinement, elevating everyday living to extraordinary heights. Traditional to the Victorian era, the central hall exudes elegance, connecting the living quarters to the accommodation wing.
The master suite, a haven for warmth and rest, provides the daily comforts of an updated ensuite and built-in robe. The three remaining bedrooms in the wing have access to the two-way family bathroom and are fitted with built-in robes. Additionally, there is a fifth guest room behind the kitchen.
Step outside into the embrace of an impressive undercover alfresco area, where endless hours of twilight entertainment await. A pool room, a tranquil spa and a solar/gas heated 12m swimming pool beckon residents to unwind in the lap of luxury.
"The Racecourse," a sanctuary steeped in history, once hosted the spirited races of yesteryears until the 1930s. Today, it stands as a testament to the enduring bond between humanity and the noble steed, offering extensive infrastructure for Thoroughbred, Standardbred, and equestrian pursuits. Divided into 6 five-acre paddocks, 1 ten-acre paddock and 2 twenty-acre paddocks, adorned with concrete post day yards, it embodies the spirit of equine excellence. A stable complex, boasting 8 boxes and a separate feed/tack room, stands as a testament to dedication and care, while a hot and cold wash bay, a 20-panel solar power system, and a machinery shed add a touch of modernity to this timeless haven.
Venture further, and discover separate cattle yards and crush, a sand round yard, and a full-sized 1600m racetrack, each echoing the whispers of history. Quality water, drawn from a bore and three 15,000-gallon tanks, ensures the land thrives in abundance.
Located just a short drive from the charming villages of Lancefield and Romsey and a mere 40 minutes from bustling Melbourne, this estate beckons discerning souls to embrace a life where timeless elegance meets modern luxury. Welcome home.
