Vienna Woods
Proudly positioned on the slopes of Mount Macedon, Vienna Woods stands as one of the region’s largest privately owned European-inspired gardens. An intricate bluestone and wrought-iron gate marks the entrance to the estate, where sweeping lawns, towering oaks and poplars, and flourishing garden beds create an immediate sense of tranquillity. As you travel along the private sealed driveway, the outside world slips away, replaced by a sanctuary deeply connected to the land and far removed from the noise of urban life.
At the heart of the property lies a magnificent Tudor residence built in 1980 of approximately 70 sqm, masterfully crafted by renowned builder Ewald Jeske. From the first moment, it is clear that this European-styled home was created with uncompromising attention to detail, resulting in a timeless masterpiece built to endure for generations.
The entry hall sets a warm and elegant tone, showcasing rich timber panelling and marble floors that lead you toward the formal rooms. The breathtaking formal living room draws the eye upward with its double-height, timber-vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling leadlight windows, custom European cabinetry, open fireplace, and a striking crystal chandelier. A separate formal dining room features an oversized marble-surround fireplace, perfect for intimate gatherings. The flowing family kitchen serves as the warm heart of the home, offering generous granite benchtops, quality European appliances, including dual ovens and large windows that draw in the natural beauty of the grounds.
The first floor comprises five generous bedrooms, each filled with natural light and serene views across the estate. Every bedroom features integrated storage, while the master suite includes a private ensuite. Above, a spacious attic provides an ideal retreat for a home office, gym, or creative studio, along with ample enclosed storage.
An expansive entertaining room with wet bar, currently arranged as a billiards room, offers versatility for use as a library, theatre, or family games room. Beneath the home, a substantial character-rich cellar with handcrafted shelving and a wet bar will delight wine collectors and entertainers. Completing the accommodation is a charming self-contained one-bedroom cottage, perfect for guests or extended family.
Outdoors, the estate reveals the full beauty of alpine living. Mature pine and birch forests, ornamental lakes, manicured lawns and picnic-ready clearings create an atmosphere of peaceful retreat. Wildlife including birds, ducks and rabbits are frequent and welcome visitors. The property also features a championship-sized floodlit tennis court, indoor spa, and sauna allowing you to embrace a life of leisure. With pasture, dam, and sturdy animal and storage shedding at the rear, the land easily accommodates horses, deer or other livestock.
Ideally situated, Vienna Woods is just a gentle stroll from the intimate Mount Macedon village, with its local school, pub and café. Although it offers the charm and serenity of a European mountain escape, the property remains remarkably connected, only 45 minutes from the Melbourne CBD.
Vienna Woods offers a chance to rediscover a life free from modern constraints, one where nature, family, and unforgettable experiences take centre stage.
