Macedon VIC 3440

You feel as if no one else exists, but you are not at all isolated - it's the most phenomenal place. Dormy Park is one of the prettiest properties in one of the prettiest towns in the prettiest region of Victoria. The house faces north, looking Mount Macedon right in the eye, in seven hectares of private rolling parkland perched above a picturesque lake with incomparable views of the ranges to the east. Grandly built in brick, this modern residence has a classical rural aesthetic, large living areas and a modern kitchen with walk in pantry, all heated and invigorated by a double sided Cheminees Philippe fireplace. Its generous sitting room opens onto an enclosed verandah. Either side of the shared spaces are two large bedrooms, each with an en suite and a mountain view. Large study or third bedroom. Out the back a covered walkway leads to a self-contained guesthouse with bedroom, en suite and wine cellar. Attached is a double garage. Two sheds and a barn complete the outbuildings. The garden is droughtproofed by a freshwater bore and two dams. And the area is zoned rural/conservation, so no chance of encroachment, in fact, no chance you will ever see any manmade structure you don't own. Under an hour's drive to the CBD. Utterly rural and only five minutes walk to the centre of Macedon, and from there, an hour by train to Southern Cross. But it's the grandeur of the landscape itself that impresses here. The spectacular trees and lake, the constant mesmeric presence of Mount Macedon, the long views... all these go to make Dormy Park the rarest, most beautiful, sanctuary. All within easy walking distance to Macedon Village and the station.
