Wombat Hill Farm - A Landmark Residence
Two Contemporary Masterpieces with Magnificent Views, Set on 7.4 acresUnique, bespoke and instantly impressive, these stunningly designed residences, each with their own entrance, afford a flexible country lifestyle set on approx. 7.4 acres in picturesque Daylesford - a premium tourist destination, and only 90 minutes from Melbourne. Privacy abounds as tall Leighton Green Cypress trees wrap the property boundaries, while the grand sweeping driveway to the main residence is lined with mature ornamental pear trees. Designed by the sustainability guru Joost Bakker, the Main House has all his trademark design features including an accessible roof top garden. Draped in glorious ornamental vines, watch your home transform as it changes through the seasons - green and lush in Spring and Summer, vibrant in burgundies during Autumn, and then exceptionally striking in Winter as the steel-framed crushed recycled brick is exposed.
