An Extraordinary Country Lifestyle | 138 Acres of Macedon Ranges Beauty

Where productive farmland, breathtaking views and refined country living come together.

There are properties that offer a lifestyle, and then there are properties that make you stop, take in the view and appreciate just how special country living can be. Set across approximately 55.8 hectares (138 acres) on the outskirts of Lancefield, this remarkable rural holding captures the very best of the Macedon Ranges, with beautiful open grazing country, sweeping valley views and the magnificent presence of Mount Macedon providing an ever-changing backdrop. Just 5.3km from Lancefield township, this is a property of rare scale and genuine versatility, where a substantial quality-built home sits harmoniously within a picturesque farming landscape.

The land is a defining feature, with attractive, clean grazing paddocks, established fencing, practical laneways and excellent infrastructure supporting the current Angus cattle operation. Running approximately 30 head, (and previously up to 70), the property is equipped with stockyards, crush and loading ramp, while bore water supplies the stock troughs. A natural spring meanders through the holding, complemented by established native gum plantations and scattered shelter trees that bring character, shade and natural beauty to the landscape. Whether your vision is to continue cattle farming, establish an impressive equestrian property or simply enjoy the freedom of owning a substantial parcel of country, the possibilities here are as expansive as the views.

Built in 2003 by John Connor of Mount Gisborne Homes, the residence is a beautiful expression of quality country living, combining generous proportions, warmth and understated elegance. Arrival is a pleasure in itself, with a Manchurian pear-lined driveway leading through established grounds, silver birches, manicured box hedges and an attractive arbour adorned with Boston ivy. Beyond the wide formal entry, Tasmanian oak flooring, updated carpets and carefully considered living spaces create a welcoming home designed for both relaxed family life and entertaining on a grander scale.
The kitchen is the natural gathering place, featuring solid timber cabinetry, granite benchtops, a new Westinghouse 900mm oven, walk-in pantry and space for a double refrigerator. Generous preparation areas make cooking a pleasure, while the open-plan connection to the dining area ensures the view remains centre stage. Beyond the windows, the landscape unfolds across Deep Creek, over rolling farmland towards Lancefield and onwards to the striking silhouette of Mount Macedon. It is an extraordinary outlook, bringing the beauty of the surrounding countryside into everyday life.

Two further living zones provide room for everyone to find their own space. The adjoining family room, warmed by a built-in wood fireplace, offers an inviting place to unwind, while the separate second living or rumpus room opens through double French doors onto the outdoor deck, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Accommodation is equally well considered, with a generous master suite featuring a garden-facing bay window, walk-in robe and separate ensuite. Three additional large bedrooms, each with built-in robes, share a central family bathroom where the bath enjoys uninterrupted rural views. A separate study offers the flexibility of a fifth bedroom, while hydronic heating with an external combustion burner, ducted vacuuming and ornate ceiling fans provide additional comfort and convenience.

Outside, the north-facing entertaining deck is perfectly positioned to enjoy the peaceful surrounds and ever-changing colours of the countryside. Established gardens frame the home, while vegetable garden boxes offer the opportunity to grow fresh produce and embrace a more self-sufficient way of life. A substantial four-car garage with workshop provides excellent space for vehicles, machinery, storage and hands-on projects, while approximately 66,000 litres of rainwater storage adds valuable capacity to the property's rural infrastructure.

For those seeking a country escape without losing touch with everyday convenience, this property delivers an enviable balance. Imagine mornings spent watching the cattle graze, afternoons exploring your own land and evenings entertaining beneath expansive country skies, with the rolling hills and Mount Macedon stretching out before you. For the equestrian-minded buyer, the land offers an exceptional opportunity to create a tailored horse property, while professionals and families will appreciate the privacy, space and enduring appeal of a substantial rural holding paired with a quality executive home.

The surrounding region further enhances the lifestyle, with wineries close by, the natural attractions of the Cobaw Ranges within easy reach and Lancefield providing a welcoming community with strong sporting and equestrian connections and good education options. Woodend is approximately 27km away, while Kyneton's celebrated Piper Street dining scene is approximately 30km from the property. Melbourne Airport is around 44 minutes by car, adding a welcome level of accessibility for frequent travellers and airline professionals.

A rare opportunity to secure a substantial and beautifully presented rural property where the land, the home and the views are equally compelling. With productive grazing country, established farming infrastructure, a quality-built residence and a location that captures the enduring appeal of the Macedon Ranges, this is an exceptional offering for those ready to embrace a more spacious, rewarding and truly beautiful way of life.
