5 Governors Drive Mount Macedon VIC 3441

A Macedon Ranges masterpiece of exceptional craftsmanship, botanical theatre, and elevated living across 2.72 acres (approx.), this unforgettable home is approached via grand wrought-iron entry gates and a pebbled circular driveway, with Mt Macedon an impressive, iconic presence in the background.

Inside, a striking entry foyer signals opulent French-provincial refinement, with hand-crafted imported chandeliers and wall sconces casting soft radiance across impeccably tailored interiors. A marble fireplace anchors the formal lounge, while the formal dining room boasts expanses of glass overlooking the immaculate grounds.

An all-white showpiece kitchen presents a servery to the meals domain, SMEG cooking, and a large walk-in pantry. Completing the ground floor are a generous study finished with gilded leaf wall coverings, and an ornate powder room featuring grasscloth wall textures.

A graceful wrought-iron staircase ascends to lavish accommodation, where private decks and balconies draw the landscape closer. The main retreat, resting beneath a vaulted ceiling, includes a dressing room and a sumptuous, classical-inspired ensuite. Additional 3 bedrooms are served by an equally impressive main bathroom, while an expansive entertaining deck offers brilliant views.

Engineered landscaping weaves a tapestry of discovery, with meandering, hidden pathways and expanses of manicured lawn scaled for marquee events. The botanical palette blends mature European and native specimens, pencil pines, Japanese maple, and bamboo, set amid richly planted beds of azaleas, camellias, roses, peonies, magnolia, bearded iris, and rhododendrons.

Formal gardens undulate gently past hand-crafted rock walls, a beautiful dam with bridge and viewing platform, and a series of ponds and water features, before reaching Turitable Creek at the lower reaches of the estate - with the garden oasis inviting abundant birdlife, including rainbow lorikeets and kookaburras, alongside thriving native fauna.

The property also includes ducted heating, split-system heating/cooling, custom window furnishings, a garage/studio, ample guest parking, a wine cellar, greenhouse, and a shed.

Its dress-circle position offers laneway access to Stanley Park Reserve and waterfall, plus a shortcut to Mount Macedon Primary School, the village Trading Post café, and Mount Macedon Hotel, all within a warm and welcoming community known for culture and connection. Elite schools are also within easy access, as is the Calder Freeway and neighbouring townships for shops, cafés, transport, and amenities. Heaven!
