The sheer magnificence of the landscaping surround “Sanders Wood” is matched only by the elegance and striking architectural wonder of the French Villa at its heart. Created on the rise of a gentle hill and taking in breathtaking 360 degree views, “Sanders Wood” has been a labour of love over the decades, a meticulous creation of a private, expansive family haven set amongst one of the Macedon Ranges most desired locations.

Accessed by a 1 km approx. private road, through an ancient woodland, to a parkland estate which hugs the curve of the lower slopes of Mount Macedon, its beautiful gardens have been nurtured over many years.

Amongst other things you’ll find in this most enchanting garden are a peaceful lake, beautiful mature trees, various informal hedging, verdant lawns and rose gardens, peonies, a mature Chestnut orchard, tennis court, vegetable garden and literally thousands of bulbs and other exotic specimens too numerous to mention. A sheltered courtyard featuring climbing roses, pleached Linden trees and a rare Dividia (Chinese handkerchief tree), water features and moss-covered urns and pots, is ideal for entertaining and dining.

The home is the epitome of elegance; the construction is impressive consisting of solid rendered brick work. Inside, Italian tiles and French Oak parquetry flooring are complimented by bespoke joinery. Uniquely crafted glazing throughout creates a sense of peace. Magnificent, double-glazed conservatories and rare collectable doors, chandeliers and fire surround highlight the eclectic artistry from the creators’ travels all over the world.
