RURAL LUXURY WITH DESIGNER EDGE


Architecturally designed with a striking barn-style aesthetic, this expansive 519m² home is a masterclass in understated luxury and artistic flair. Privately tucked away down a leafy driveway just minutes from the Karaka off-ramp, this home is set within a beautifully maintained country landscape. With a heated pool, separate dwelling, and a generous 4.9 hectares, it offers a rare combination of lifestyle, space, and style.

Beyond the circular driveway, the entrance sets the tone—double barn doors, exposed timbers, and a beautifully flowing layout with surprises tucked around every corner, each space opening up to reveal another layer of style, scale, and mood. From the recycled oak flooring salvaged from an old ship to the soaring 4m+ stud and atmospheric colour palette, every inch of this home has been curated to surprise and delight.

At the centre of the home is a show-stopping entertainer’s kitchen. Finished with Canadian timber cabinetry, seamless touch-to-open panels, a large scullery, induction cooktop and premium Wolf appliances, it blends rustic minimalism with refined function.

The open-plan living area captures the essence of barn-style architecture, with two lounge areas anchored by a central dining space. At one end is a steel-surround open fireplace that’s as stylish as it is efficient, supported by ducted air conditioning for year-round ease. Generous glazing and a mix of soaring 4-8m ceiling heights draw in natural light and frame views to the outdoors to level lawns, a heated pool, and rural views across the property.
Downstairs also includes a cosy library area, a media room, and underground wine cellar, all connected by a built-in Sonos sound system that flows across the home. A guest bedroom with ensuite, full bathroom, powder room, and laundry are also located on the ground floor, along with a striking whiskey room that doubles as a truly inspiring office space. The ground-level master suite is a private sanctuary, generously proportioned and thoughtfully positioned with its own outdoor access. It features a walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully appointed ensuite with a tiled walk-in shower and bathtub, offering a sense of retreat and quiet luxury.

Upstairs, an expansive mezzanine including a cantilevered reading nook overlooks the main living area. Two generous loft-style bedrooms sit at either end offering space and privacy for family or guests. A powder room completes the upper level.

Outside, the 4.9 hectares of flat to gently rolling land include three post-and-rail paddocks, mature trees and productive raised vegetable gardens - with still ample scope to bring your own vision for the land. A large garage and three-bay farm shed offer plenty of storage and work space.

Adding even more flexibility is a character-filled secondary minor dwelling with its own barn-style charm. With two bedrooms downstairs, an air-conditioned flexi-space upstairs, and its own private garden, it’s ideal for extended family or guests accommodation. This exceptional Karaka property delivers more than a home—it offers an experience. From its expressive architecture and curated materials to its dramatic scale and gallery-like presentation, this is a home to be lived in, loved, and shared.
