EGERTON: A HILLTOP ESTATE OF COUNTRY LUXURY
FOR SALE BY EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST CLOSING WEDNESDAY 8TH APRIL 2026 AT 12 NOON (Unless Sold Prior)
Perfectly positioned on the quiet fringe of Compton, Egerton is not just a home — it is a lifestyle masterpiece. Resting atop 10 acres and accessed via a sweeping 500-metre private driveway, this extraordinary property rises above the landscape with a presence that feels both commanding and deeply serene. Here, your world shifts into a slower rhythm, where views stretch endlessly, entertaining becomes effortless, and every moment is wrapped in the charm of rural living.
A RESIDENCE BUILT WITH HEART, HISTORY & HANDCRAFTED DETAIL
Created in 1987 with intention and enduring quality, the home showcases materials chosen for their beauty and honesty: Basket Range sandstone, Mount Gambier limestone, western red cedar, slate floors, timber beams and antique doors sourced with purpose. Wide vine-clad verandahs wrap the home, blurring the line between indoors and nature while capturing soft breezes and uninterrupted vistas of Mount Gambier and rolling rural surrounds.
Inside, every room invites you to pause — to appreciate the textures, the craftsmanship, the sense of permanence. French doors link each living space with the verandah and gardens, filling the home with light, warmth and a timeless country elegance.
LUXURIOUS LIVING WITH A COUNTRY HEART
The main level offers a beautiful combination of classic charm and everyday comfort. A formal dining room and lounge with a gas fireplace set the mood for winter evenings, while the country kitchen — with its Baltic pine cabinetry, double oven and updated appliances — brings authenticity and homestead warmth.
The recently renovated master suite offers generous proportions wrapped in soft, neutral tones that blend seamlessly with the home's timeless character. A beautifully appointed ensuite features shower, toilet, vanity, shaker-style cabinetry, built-in robes, and a stunning walk-in wardrobe with exceptional storage — creating a serene, retreat-like sanctuary.
An additional bedroom with its own walk-in robe, along with a charming character bathroom complete with clawfoot bath, separate toilet, laundry, and storeroom, finalise this thoughtfully designed wing.
Above, a full mezzanine level reveals yet another layer of lifestyle: a sunlit retreat with Velux window, two additional bedrooms, office, bathroom and storage room — ideal for guests, teenagers or creative pursuits.
ALFRESCO LIVING WORTHY OF LONG LUNCHES & GOLDEN EVENINGS
Stepping outside feels like stepping into a European courtyard. The paved entertaining area, softened by mature Muscat and Chardonnay vines, invites gatherings that linger into the evening. Every corner of the garden tells a story — from lush flourishing beds to a fruit orchard and a stately walnut tree.
For added versatility, the adjoining studio offers its own kitchen, bathroom/laundry, air conditioning and dual-access French doors — a dream space for guests, extended family, a creative studio or potential holiday accommodation.
Your converted garage bar is the ultimate hideaway. Pour a drink, throw open the doors, and toast to the lifestyle you've created. Designed to feel like you're stepping into your own boutique hotel, this incredible space is purpose-built for hosting — whether it's the boys over for the footy or a friendly game of pool that kicks on into the night.
SHEDDING THAT ELEVATES THE LIFESTYLE FURTHER
For those who crave storage, space and freedom, this property delivers in a way rarely seen. A new high-clearance shed stands proudly on the property, measuring 12m x 18m with impressive 3.3m roller doors and drive-through bay — the perfect home for caravans, boats, trades, hobbies or serious machinery. Power and a concrete floor complete this premium setup.
Additional shedding includes extensive workshops, stables, tack room and multiple storage bays. This is an estate designed for those who embrace rural living, adventure and hands-on passions.
