Early light settles across the valley, moving through rows of vines before lifting toward the breathtaking shimmer of Western Port and the glow of Cowes after dusk. Encompassing approximately 8 acres of rolling Red Hill hinterland, this architecturally renovated and extended single level farmhouse draws its character from the land itself, with sweeping outlooks, absolute privacy and a sense of arrival along a secure, tree-lined drive that unfolds toward the main residence surrounded by established gardens and productive grounds. A niche cherry orchard, a boutique vineyard planted to Pinot Noir, and flourishing kitchen gardens shape a property that is as much about lifestyle as it is about place with infrastructure that allows it to evolve with its next custodian.
Deep eaves frame a series of living and dining zones that shift with the seasons, enriched by American Cherry timber, Western red cedar and expansive glazing, with heated floors providing year-round ease. A central award-winning granite kitchen and walk-in-pantry, wrapped in a custom timber bar, connects effortlessly to surrounding spaces and extends to a deck overlooking the valley and water beyond. Two substantial bedrooms each include ensuites and WIR’s with the main opening directly to the deck and enjoying stunning valley and water views. A fitted home office/study with a bespoke Huon pine desk and a private guest cottage/third bedroom suited to wellness or studio use complete the accommodation.
Beyond the home, an in-ground swimming pool caters to warmer months, with the property boasting extensive infrastructure, including a modest wine-making facility with a commercial cool room. Multiple outbuildings include a four-bay shed with high clearance, concrete floors and power, along with a separate three-bay garage with three-phase electricity. Water storage exceeds 150,000 litres, supported by greywater systems, and solar-boosted hot water, while three gated entry points provide efficient access across the land. The land is active and beautifully maintained, with a netted cherry orchard of over 75 trees, over 350 Pinot Noir vines, and plantings of citrus, avocado, persimmon, olive and chestnut, alongside vegetable gardens, a chicken coop, a pond, berries and passionfruit. Moments from Red Hill’s world-class wineries, restaurants and Merricks walking and riding trail, monthly markets and local produce, positioned between Red Hill and Balnarring Villages, it's a one-of-a-kind treechange designed for those ready to leave the noise behind.
