The Homestead

Hill Road, Gruyere. Its not everyday you are asked to work on a site that has 360' views. However, the opportunity came about in Victoria's famous Yarra Valley. Having clients with a vision to create one of the most unique winery estates in the Yarra Valley is testament to the confidence instilled in our team to create the homestead which took pride of place overlooking the sprawling estate. The project started with a modest country-style home of 35 square meters which was practically demolished to make way for what is now a sprawling 120sqm, boasting four luxurious state rooms with palatial ensuite bathrooms. The master suite comes with an open fireplace facing onto a private internal courtyard which connects via bi-folding doors to a 6-star ensuite with twin bathtubs. There is also a dressing room the size of most bedrooms, a private outdoor gazebo and a large study, making it the ultimate master quarters. The expansive home also features a 7 meter high, double-sided stone fireplace in the great room which includes a dinning room, bar, temperature-controlled wine cellar, sitting room, garden room with outdoor terrace and a traditional style library. The list doesn’t end there. There is an amazing, commercial-style butler kitchen with beautiful stone bench tops, a cool room and the most modern appliances. The third wing of the home contains a meals area, family room with double glass sided fireplace, a billiards room and 20 seat cinema room with its own bar. To complete the homestead, there is a garage wing with 8 car spots and caretaker quarters, making this an outstanding country residence that is more like a 6 star hotel than a house.
