Hillside " Grand Country Living on 33.75 Acres with Spectacular Views
Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Hanging Rock and the Cobaw Ranges, Hillside is an expansive country estate spanning 33.75 acres of gently undulating land, capturing sweeping vistas that transform beautifully with the seasons.
The substantial residence unfolds across three light-filled levels, offering over 44 squares of internal living. Designed with exceptional flexibility, the home's multiple bedrooms, generous bathrooms, and a series of connected yet distinct living zones easily accommodate large or extended families, multi-generational living, boutique accommodation, or home-based enterprises (STCA).
At the heart of the home lies a well-appointed country kitchen, featuring solid timber cabinetry, quality appliances including a Smeg oven, induction cooktop, and a generous walk-in pantry. A wood fireplace and ducted heating and cooling provide year-round comfort, while the clever floor plan with separate living areas and dual access points allows both connection and privacy for the household.
Additional features include ample storage throughout, dual electric hot water systems, and a 7.5 kW solar array, all contributing to the property's comfort, efficiency, and sustainability.
Beyond the home, the grounds unfold into an extraordinary landscape framed by hand-built dry-stone walls and mature gardens showcasing maples, magnolias, rhododendrons, elms, and camellias. A handcrafted stone shed, established orchard (with figs, apples, chestnuts and more), chicken coop, and well-designed paddocks for livestock or hobby animals highlight the estate's blend of practicality and charm where beauty and function coexist seamlessly.
Extensive rural infrastructure supports a wide range of pursuits, including a 12 X 18 m machinery shed with a concrete floor and dual access, a secondary shed, and multiple fenced paddocks each fitted with water troughs. A traditional windmill adds a picturesque touch, while large water tanks, supplied by a reliable spring-fed and bore water system, ensure a year-round water supply to the home, gardens, and paddocks.
Ideally positioned in tightly held Hesket, between the vibrant townships of Woodend and Romsey, Hillside combines the peace and privacy of country living with everyday convenience just under an hour from Melbourne via the Calder Freeway.
More than a home, Hillside is a canvas for imagination, creativity, and connection. Its generous proportions and thoughtful design offer scope for family life, artistic pursuits, or enterprise.
