26 Estate Lane, Buninyong, Vic 3357

Nestled within the prestigious Buninyong locale, this exceptional residence presents a rare opportunity to own a truly magnificent home set across 10 fertile volcanic ash acres, a landscape steeped in rich soil and history dating back to the 1860s Ballarat Gold Mining Company era. Constructed in 2017 with uncompromising attention to detail, this 6-star energy-rated sanctuary blends sophisticated modern living with timeless country charm, offering an unrivaled lifestyle just minutes from the heart of Buninyong.

From the moment you arrive, the home's solid foundations speak volumes of quality and peace of mind. Engineered on galvanised steel stumps with award-winning cyclone-proof mega anchors, underpinned by Victorian Ash bearers and joists, the structure is as robust as it is elegant. The exterior's weather-textured reconstituted hardwood cladding - a seven-time recipient of best cladding awards - ensures durability and refinement that will stand the test of time. Inside, locally sourced Baltic Pine flooring flows seamlessly alongside exquisite Victorian Ash timber finishes adorning door trims, skirting boards, and the kitchen benchtops, showcasing craftsmanship of the highest calibre.

Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate family living, the floor plan thoughtfully embraces the surrounding farmland with north-facing open-plan living, dining, and kitchen spaces that are flooded with natural light. The farmhouse kitchen, equipped with quality appliances, including a Belling double oven, double sink, and a commercial-grade butler's pantry, invites culinary creativity while offering exceptional storage and workspace. Two distinct living zones and a fully enclosed north-facing sunroom extend your living options, effortlessly blending indoor comfort with outdoor beauty.

The master suite is a private retreat positioned at the rear of the home, offering serene views over the sprawling acreage. Complete with a generous walk-in robe and a luxurious ensuite featuring a walk-in shower, double vanity, and separate toilet, it promises a restful sanctuary. Three additional king-sized bedrooms all boast walk-in robes, complemented by a main bathroom designed for relaxation, featuring a freestanding bath framed by sweeping views of the farmland, a walk-in shower, double vanity, and separate toilet. Practicality meets elegance with a dedicated study and a spacious laundry thoughtfully planned to include a separate shower and toilet - perfect for washing away the day's dust after working the land. Every window frames a captivating vista, and despite its rural serenity, the property is only a short 3-minute drive or a scenic 20-25 minute walk into the vibrant Buninyong township.

Externally, the lifestyle possibilities continue to unfold. An immaculately finished in-ground swimming pool and spa, with top of the range Naked Freshwater system in place, offers year-round leisure with fully automated heating and maintenance systems, making ongoing maintenance a breeze - especially with control via an app on your phone! The pool is heated via a CHILLI inverter heat pump, which is efficient and low maintenance, whilst the spa is gas heated, meaning you run either pool or spa separately during the colder months. This top-of-the-range set-up has had every detail considered for easy ongoing maintenance. The extensive outdoor decking, spanning 170 square meters, provides an inviting space for entertaining or quiet reflection amid the peaceful rural surroundings. For hobbyists and professionals alike, substantial shedding includes a 12 by 12-meter shed with mezzanine storage and power, a 21 by 9-meter machinery shed, plus a powered shipping container converted into a shearing station - ideal for those who might wish to maintain the grounds with a few sheep or indulge in agricultural pursuits.

The land itself is as impressive as the home. In addition to the house block, there are four fully fenced paddocks - ideal for horses, livestock, or hobby farming - all set upon nutrient-rich volcanic ash soil. A dam located at the rear corner of the property adds to the picturesque scenery and supports reliable water access for rural use. Water security for the home is also ensured with approximately 70,000 litres of tank storage, supplemented by bottled gas, mains power, and with a septic tank system in place. 

Tucked away in a quiet no-through road, 26 Estate Lane enjoys complete privacy as the only home with frontage to the Lane itself. The only other property with access off the lane, is a local farmer who accesses the rear of their old family estate, hence the name, Estate Lane. This exclusivity enhances the property's sense of seclusion, security, appeal, and timeless character. 

This home is a testament to impeccable quality, blending contemporary comforts with the timeless appeal of country living. It is a rare offering in today's market, destined to appeal to discerning buyers seeking a forever home or a peaceful tree-change without compromising on lifestyle or location. To truly appreciate the elegance, craftsmanship, and lifestyle on offer, a private inspection is essential.
