Escape the hustle and bustle

Style and substance are the hallmarks of this much-loved family favourite in Melton.

Situated in the exclusive Hopetoun Park area, the house is on a generous corner allotment of less than 1.2 hectares (just over three acres) in a bush setting, yet only 40 minutes from Melbourne.

The Aussie colonial-styled house has five large bedrooms – three with built-in wardrobes and two with walk-in wardrobes. The main bedroom has the addition of an ensuite, while the main bathroom has benefited from a renovation.

The kitchen has new appliances and a butler’s pantry. There’s a study and open-plan living-dining area. Features are high ceilings, two fireplaces, two wood heaters, three split-system units, polished floorboards, a gazebo with built-in barbecue, wood heater and sink, double and triple carports, horse yard and stable, water tanks and well, a dam and multiple sheds.
