Leonards Hill VIC 3461

Positioned on Leonards Hill, with tremendous views stretching to Wombat Hill, Mount Franklin and the distant ranges, this architecturally designed stone and timber contemporary residence takes full advantage of its elevated setting on 4.14 hectares (approx.).

Polished concrete floors flow throughout the interior and a raked ceiling establishes space and visual interest, while a stone blade wall houses the Cheminees Philippe open fireplace. A large timber window seat takes in the northern aspect and provides extensive views across the landscape, complementing a connection to a northwest facing deck, perfect for easy relaxation, day to day enjoyment and entertaining in style. A gorgeous French inspired country kitchen features stone benchtops, hardwood cabinetry, ceiling pan rack and a suite of appliances, plus a Rayburn wood stove. Bifold doors make a connection from the kitchen to the outdoor dining terrace framed by a wisteria draped pergola, espaliered apple and nashi pear trees. An outside kitchen with stone fireplace and pizza oven creates an inviting space for long lunches and summer evenings.

The bedrooms are all beautifully proportioned with soaring French doors shuttered to glorious green gardens, each feature high ceilings, built in robes and luxurious ensuites featuring walk in showers. The primary bedroom comes with a freestanding stone bath flanked by an exquisite Japanese garden. A flexible annexe comprises a fourth bedroom plus a living room or study with a Ned Kelly firebox, and a bathroom, separately zoned to create easy access to the kitchen or to serve as self contained accommodation for friends and family.

Features include hydronic underfloor heating, a library and Euro laundry, with spectacular gardens encompassing beautifully manicured hedging, decked terraces and vast lawns. A series of garden hideaways offer peaceful outlooks, while the enclosed vegetable and herb garden, chicken coop, orchard and olive grove bring a true sense of country living. Around ninety olive trees and an abundance of fruit trees, including apples, pears, chestnuts, raspberries, plums, cherries, peaches, figs and medlars produce a rich harvest each season. Magical landscaped areas include a petanque pitch under Manchurian pear trees, a lavender field and a wind break cypress tree line on the western boundary. The property is well supported by a bore and 100,000 litres of tank water, along with a double shed for practical needs.
