Woodend VIC 3442

Designers of two previous estates featured in the Open Garden scheme, the owners drew on travel inspiration to create Glenbroch, featuring contemporary private gardens, a stylish two-storey residence and quality farming infrastructure.

Beyond the refined stone entrance, an oak-lined driveway meanders past manicured hedges, topiaries and rolling lawns towards the sandstone gabled house. An inviting entrance foyer leads to the main living area with an open fireplace and views to Woodend, Trentham and Spring Hill. The kitchen features Miele appliances and a Rayburn wood stove, plus a pantry and scullery. A large guest bedroom with walk-in robe looks out to the landscaped gardens, next to a library revealing equally striking views. Study/fifth bedroom and mudroom. Upstairs a second living area provides a private retreat beside the light-filled master bedroom, two further bedrooms with window seats and a bathroom. Ample storage.

The extensive gardens were intuitively designed for beauty, pleasure and minimal maintenance. English trees, maple groves, crabapple walk, orchard, a kitchen garden, numerous garden rooms and ornamental parterre provide year-round colour and summer shade. An entertaining deck overlooks the swimming pond and leafy 'secret garden' leads to a playground and cottage cubby.
