Akehurst describes the property as "a classic and timeless Australian country house designed for a modern lifestyle. The inspiration for the house was its beautiful rural location, with a captivating aspect to the sea. My desire was to create an Australian country house, with all the comfort of modern day living, but with the timeless style of a bygone age".
11-ft ceilings in the primary residence are elevated to 16.5-ft in the central drawing room, enveloped by formal and casual living and dining spaces crafted with open fireplaces and a chef-ready Lacanche granite kitchen. The original homestead's underground cellar has been integrated into the design, with three ensuite bedrooms eloquently poised to make the most of its stunning Nobbies views through the Musk Creek valley.

A walled kitchen garden and orchard stand sentinel above an infinity pool terrace.
Established vignerons Quealy founded the Musk Creek vineyard in 1997, managing the 11.5 acre blue ribbon site ever since. The site is planted to Pinot Noir (mostly MV6) and Gris in equal measure, with another hectare dedicated to Muscat Rouge à Petits Grains and Chardonnay.
Quealy says Musk Creek's north facing slope and 180 metres elevation is what makes it unique - "sunshine is maximised whilst the cooling sea breeze keeps diseases at bay. This microclimate has allowed these vines to mature into a late ripening vineyard that consistently produces distinctive wines of the highest order"
The Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay from the 2022 vintage were all reviewed as 95pt Gold Medal wines under the label of 'Quealy Musk Creek', with the Pinot Gris awarded Victoria's #1.
The property features a substantial dam edged with native vegetation and boardwalks fed by Cotton Tree Creek that runs the length of the property. Irrigated paddocks, shed complex, solar power, central heating and cooling, and a double garage completes the package.
