490 Settlement Road, SunburyVIC

Escape to a lifestyle of unparalleled beauty on this extraordinary 528-acre property, perched atop a majestic rise offering an awe-inspiring 360-degree panorama. Marvel at the breathtaking views spanning from the Melbourne skyline to the Macedon Ranges and Port Phillip Bay – a literal pinnacle experience.

The crown jewel of this property is the bespoke European-inspired home, exuding warmth with its timber accents, raked ceilings, and exposed beams. The timber kitchen and large windows capture the essence of the surroundings, ensuring every moment is bathed in the beauty of the landscape. The main living room, complete with a wood heater, is a haven for relaxation, while the three main bedrooms, including a master with walk-in robe and ensuite, provide comfort and style. A study, rumpus room, and a sprawling sunroom/entertainment area add to the allure. A guest room/fourth bedroom opens out to easterly paved entertainment area and inground pool.

This haven has been lovingly owned by the current vendors for an incredible 42 years, presenting an exclusive opportunity to acquire a substantial parcel of land so close to Melbourne. The property's diverse topography, featuring deep gorges, rolling hills, and flat expanses along the tributary to 'Jacksons Creek,' hosts a thriving ecosystem of native wildlife – wallabies, kangaroos, kookaburras, and a Wedge Tail Eagle's nest.

Functioning as a working farm over the years, the property boasts essential infrastructure, including a shearing shed, under-cover cattle yards, a crush, a stock ramp with bitumen road access, and sheds for machinery, hay, and a workshop with stables. The land has supported sheep, cattle, and goats, with plantations of flowering gums set aside for wildlife and honey production.

Water security is assured with a 180-foot deep bore, electric pump supplying the house and four paddocks, complemented by 90,000 litres of rainwater storage and eight dams across the property.

This expansive holding presents a unique opportunity for subdivision into two lots (STCA). Just 16 minutes to Sunbury, 32 minutes to Melbourne Airport/Essendon, and 53 minutes to the Melbourne CBD, this property is a total retreat, offering an authentic Australian experience with dramatic landscapes – a sanctuary that feels a world away yet is remarkably close to the city. Don't miss the chance to claim your piece of this idyllic lifestyle.
