Set against the rolling foothills of the Macedon Ranges, St Ambrose is a landmark estate where heritage, architecture and landscape design are brought together across approximately 2.69 acres of breathtaking grounds.
Originally dating to circa 1888, the residence has been carefully revived to honour its past while delivering a highly considered contemporary lifestyle. The gardens, designed and recently reinvigorated by Paul Bangay, are of rare significance, forming the subject of his acclaimed work The Enchanted Garden. As reflected in the book, the landscape is not simply composed, but deeply considered, shaped by long vistas, structured garden rooms and a strong connection to its Macedon setting.
A stately arrival framed by pencil pines leads to a substantial forecourt, where a central water feature establishes a sense of symmetry and arrival. Beyond, the home unfolds as a series of interconnected pavilions, creating natural separation between living and accommodation zones while maintaining a cohesive flow.
Interiors are defined by scale and light, with soaring ceilings, oversized glazing and a seamless connection to the gardens. The kitchen forms the heart of the home, beautifully appointed and positioned for both daily living and entertaining, while formal and informal living zones provide flexibility across every stage of life.
Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged across the main residence, anchored by a generous main suite with garden outlooks and supported by the original c1900 schoolhouse, now seamlessly integrated within the homes contemporary living domain. A separate self-contained guest residence offers a private and fully independent setting, ideal for extended family, guests or longer stays.
Outdoors, the newly rebuilt 20-metre fully tiled wet-edge pool, complete with integrated spa and gas heating, sits within the formal landscape, while the reflection pond has been enhanced with new filtration, lighting and pumps.

Three custom-made timber doors open directly to the forecourt and entrance gardens, creating a flexible extension of the entertaining zones when required.
Extensive infrastructure, including upgraded hydronic heating, air-conditioning, security, irrigation and significant water storage, ensures the estate performs as well as it presents.
