Last Listing description (March 2026)

Nestled within the rolling hills of the Ancona Valley, Brankeet is a refined country estate where privacy, beauty, and effortless living come together. Set on approximately 23 acres, this exceptional property combines a fully established garden setting with expansive rural surroundings, all within easy reach of Mansfield, Bonnie Doon, and Melbourne.

Brankeet has recently been realigned in the market, reflecting current conditions and offering a rare opportunity to secure a property of this quality in the Ancona Valley.

From the moment you arrive, the property feels calm and considered. A sweeping tree-lined driveway leads to a beautifully fenced 1.5-acre home paddock, where manicured lawns, mature trees, and thoughtfully designed garden rooms create a sense of seclusion and retreat. This is a property designed to be lived in and enjoyed.

At the heart of the property sits a warm and welcoming four-bedroom country residence, positioned to capture tranquil views across the valley and gardens. Recently renovated, the home blends timeless country character with contemporary comfort. Open-plan living spaces are anchored by engineered oak floors, a Euro wood-burning fireplace, and expansive double-glazed windows that flood the interiors with natural light and connect seamlessly with the outdoors.

The kitchen is both practical and elegant, custom cabinetry, porcelain benchtops, a 900mm Ilve oven with gas cooktop, integrated appliances, and a temperature-controlled wine and beverage fridge make it ideal for everyday living and relaxed entertaining alike.

Four generous bedrooms enjoy peaceful garden or rural outlooks, while two well-appointed bathrooms and a contemporary laundry complete the home's functional layout.

Outdoors, a vine-draped verandah, pergola-covered dining area, and a fire-pit courtyard create multiple spaces to gather, entertain, or simply unwind with a view.

Beyond the immediate garden setting, the wider property offers flexibility without overwhelming scale. A -acre utility zone includes a substantial 100sqm barn, ideal for storage, hobbies, or light agricultural use.

- Two dams, one spring-fed, along with frontage to Brankeet Creek, a high-quality potable bore, and extensive tank storage ensure reliable water supply year-round.

- Sustainability and self-sufficiency have been thoughtfully integrated, including:

- Potable water bore

- 30,000L house tank

- 30,000L irrigation tank, plus additional storage at the barn

- Fully automated 24-station sprinkler system

- Sproutwell greenhouse and established vegetable gardens

- 5kW solar system with battery-ready inverter

Importantly, Brankeet offers choice. It suits buyers seeking a full-time country lifestyle, a refined weekender, or a future downsizer's retreat with room to breathe-without the intensity of a working farm. There is also the opportunity for a walk-in / walk-out purchase, including select country furnishings and farm equipment, allowing new owners to settle in immediately.

By separate discussion, the current owners are happy to consider including the resident alpacas for buyers seeking an established lifestyle setup.

This is not simply a tree change.

It is a place of calm, beauty, and balance, where the hard work has already been done, and the focus can return to enjoying the lifestyle on offer.

Private viewings are available by appointment, offering an opportunity to experience Brankeet's charm and serenity firsthand.
