A sanctuary of rural prestige, charm and extraordinary versatility, this 24-acre (approx) estate fuses material refinement, natural beauty and professional-grade equestrian facilities into a singular lifestyle statement that is equally suited to entertaining and retreat as it is income-generating. With a five-bedroom residence of impeccable design and vast infrastructure supporting both leisure and enterprise, it stands as one of the Peninsula’s most compelling equine and lifestyle holdings.

Set upon one of the property’s elevated vantage points and screened by established hedging, the single-level residence enjoys sweeping views across the pool, ornamental dam framed by weeping willows, and distant vines that trace the rolling countryside. Cathedral ceilings, a double-sided fireplace and warm oak floors bring a modern-country elegance to expansive living, dining and kitchen domains. A 900mm oven and cooktop, walk-in pantry and stone/quartz surfaces are met with broad glazing that draws in the northern light, connecting seamlessly to the pool, and entertaining deck.

In a distinct accommodation wing, four robed bedrooms graciously cater to family and guests, paired with two bathrooms. At the opposite end, the primary suite is a statement in calm luxury, defined by a timber feature wall, twin walk-in robes and an indulgent ensuite. A connected utility wing with external access accommodates a home office, laundry and mudroom, with additional features including a split system, double carport and remote entry gates.

Currently operating as Red Hill Equestrian Centre, the property’s equine credentials are unrivalled, catering to a diverse range of disciplines including racing and spelling, young horse auctions, performance training, veterinary practice, horse welfare, wellness, equine therapy and equine tourism. Facilities include a 60 x 30 metre irrigated outdoor arena with a Martin Collins surface, an irrigated 20 x 40 metre indoor arena with a Solitex surface, two stable barns totalling 24 rubber lined stables with automatic drinkers, tack room with 12 individual tack lockers, hot/cold wash bays and rider lounges, 18 paddocks, five shelters, two lunging yards, post and rail fencing, machinery and feed sheds. An abundance of water sources includes two dams (one spring fed) with reticulated supply via pumps, 100,000L water tanks and exceptional drainage, supported by a backup generator and solar power.

Two self-contained office suites, one with an upper accommodation level, enhance the property’s passive-income versatility with dedicated parking and independent access that ensures complete separation from the main residence. Enveloped by world-class wineries, acclaimed dining, farm gates, trails and weekend markets, this unique estate redefines modern country living just over an hour from Melbourne CBD.
