577 Goughs Range Road Welshmans Reef VIC 3462

In a world of its own, this breathtaking 52-acre (approx.) estate is the ultimate escape, blending refined country luxury with complete off-grid independence. Architect-designed and meticulously crafted, the residence is a sanctuary of elegance, sustainability, and serenity, framed by the waters of Cairn Curran, rolling mountain ranges, and the quintessential Australian landscape.

Arrive via a quiet country road lined with ancient gums and green paddocks, where the sense of seclusion and romance is immediate. The gently undulating paddocks unravel themselves to the lake, offering a rare connection between land and water, perfect for those seeking a weekend retreat or a semi-retired lifestyle with space, privacy, and prestige.

Inside, the home reveals three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a study, with expansive open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces that flow to sun-drenched north and west-facing terraces, a formal courtyard, and enchanting landscaped gardens. Every detail evokes romance and luxury: recycled timber floors, marble finishes, and soaring timber-clad cove ceilings.

The main bedroom is a private retreat, opening to the garden and featuring a sumptuous marble ensuite with a walk-in shower, bath, oversized mirror, and heated towel rail. Two further bedrooms offer built-in robes and tranquil garden views.

The kitchen features marble benchtops, a freestanding gas cooktop and oven, a dishwasher, an island bench, and a butler's pantry. The dining area, set beneath clerestory windows, opens to a spacious deck, perfect for sunset dinners overlooking the lake and distant hills.

Comfort is assured year-round with hydronic heating, ducted evaporative cooling, and a Phillip Chiminea fireplace.

Beyond the home, the romance continues in the beautifully landscaped grounds:

> American-style three-bay barn with mezzanine storage, an enclosed shower, toilet and sink bench
> Ornamental pear tree-lined driveway, clipped hedges, pencil pines, olive trees
> Quiet sitting areas, fenced veggie garden, orchard, and paddocks

A two-hectare fenced orchard planted with truffle-inoculated Mediterranean oaks and supported by a 9.5ML water licence and three 20,000 litre large water tanks adds a rare and luxurious touch. The property is fully off-grid, powered by an integrated solar system comprising 6kW of solar panels, 16kW-hr of solid-state storage and a 16.5 kW Perkins diesel and three 20,000 litre tanks providing household water from roof collection, offering sustainable living without compromise.

Located just 13 minutes from Maldon and 27 minutes from Castlemaine, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience romantic, quiet luxury in a setting of rare natural beauty, all within reach of vibrant regional communities.
