Nestled two hours northeast of Melbourne in the heart of Victoria’s picturesque Rubicon Valley, this expansive five-bedroom holiday home has been thoughtfully crafted

At its core, the home is designed for gathering and connection. The main living area is anchored by a bespoke open fireplace, framed by a striking stone surround and crowned with a signature ironbark mantlepiece, creating a warm and inviting focal point. Natural timber floors run throughout, softened by hydronic underfloor heating, while timber accents and painted wall panelling introduce texture and a sense of timeless character.

The open-plan kitchen and dining zone is both highly functional and beautifully resolved. A generous Caesarstone island bench forms the centrepiece, complemented by premium Miele appliances and custom cabinetry. Designed with entertaining in mind, a discreet butler’s pantry allows preparation to remain out of sight, ensuring the main kitchen stays a social and welcoming hub. Adjacent, the dining space comfortably accommodates a ten-seat table, offering the perfect setting for long, relaxed meals with family and friends.

Seamless indoor-outdoor integration extends the living experience beyond the walls of the home. Large sliding doors open to an expansive alfresco entertaining area, complete with a fully equipped BBQ kitchen, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and exposed spotted gum timber rafters overhead. The adjacent private putting green provides active space to enjoy.

Designed to cater for both relaxation and recreation, the home also features a dedicated games room—an inviting retreat complete with a billiards table, bar and kitchenette, ideal for entertaining on a larger scale. Adding another layer of sophistication, a state-of-the-art wine cellar is concealed behind a hidden, security-coded door. Inside, custom wine racking, a pressed metal splashback and a central tasting table—illuminated by a statement chandelier—combine to create a space that is as functional as it is visually striking.

Every element of this home has been carefully considered to deliver comfort, quality and a sense of escape. The result is a refined yet relaxed rural sanctuary—perfectly suited to its spectacular setting and designed to be enjoyed across generations.
