Glenfinnan House and Cottage - Two Homes, 10.37ha, One Exceptional Country Lifestyle
A rare opportunity to secure an exceptional lifestyle property offering something increasingly difficult to find, two beautifully presented homes, each with its own space and purpose, set within an idyllic rural landscape.
Positioned on the border of Hesket, this remarkable property is perfectly suited to multi-generational living, extended families, guest accommodation or those seeking a second dwelling for additional income potential (STCA).
The principal residence (built 1990) is a beautifully renovated architect-designed home, privately positioned within established gardens and oriented to embrace the spectacular northerly outlook across gently rolling pastures towards Mount Crystal. Impeccably finished throughout, the home combines sophisticated contemporary living with the warmth and tranquillity of its rural setting.
At its heart is an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where soaring picture windows draw the garden and landscape indoors. A French-inspired three-sided wood heater creates a striking centrepiece, while three separate living zones provide exceptional flexibility for families.
The gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring stone benchtops, custom two-pack cabinetry, bespoke island bench, walk-in pantry, stylish tiling and a full suite of Miele appliances.
Four generous bedrooms include an impressive main suite with dressing room and ensuite, while the beautifully appointed bathrooms feature concrete basins and brushed brass tapware. Solid Blackbutt timber flooring, partial double glazing, a dedicated laundry/mudroom, powder room and 14-panel solar array add to the home's comfort and practicality.
Then there is the second home.
Set privately at the northern end of the property, the original weatherboard cottage provides an exceptional opportunity for independent living without compromising the privacy of either residence. Offering four bedrooms, an open-plan living area, bathroom, laundry and north-facing deck, it is ideal for parents, adult children, extended family or guests, or potentially as short-term accommodation or a bed and breakfast, subject to the necessary approvals.
Together, the two homes create a unique proposition: live in one and accommodate family in the other, house two generations independently, or simply enjoy the flexibility of having a second fully functional residence on your own acreage.
Outside, the property is equally impressive, with established gardens, three fenced paddocks, animal shelter, substantial shedding, double carport, three water tanks and a delightful treehouse. There is ample room for animals, gardens, recreation and country pursuits, while the gently undulating land provides a beautiful rural backdrop without compromising usability.
Despite its peaceful country setting, the property is exceptionally well connected. Candlebark and Hesket Primary Schools are nearby, while Woodend and Romsey provide everyday shopping, schools, cafés and services. Hanging Rock, wineries, farmers' markets, fine dining and the many attractions of the Macedon Ranges are all within easy reach.
With two homes, approximately 25 acres and a superb Macedon Ranges setting, 17-41 Vinnicombes Road presents an extraordinary opportunity for families looking for space, independence and flexibility, all within one exceptional country property.
