140 Palmer Road, Sunbury

Set on 18.67 hectares (approx.), this landmark lifestyle property has it all – a grand family home, resort-style amenities including a pool, spa, and sauna, and excellent infrastructure. Offered for the first time in 30 years, it is a statement in exclusive country living-uncompromising in quality and tailored for both refined relaxation and large-scale entertaining.

Beyond automatic wrought iron entry gates and a sweeping driveway, the residence emerges in striking Victorian style. A wide wraparound veranda welcomes, while inside, intricate period detail unfolds: Jarrah wainscoting, Karri Feature floorboards, soaring decorative ceilings with roses, and a stunning succession of corbelled arches framing the entrance hall with impressive symmetry.

Multiple living and entertaining spaces including an elegant open lounge with an ornate Blackwood fireplace sets the tone, flowing to a dining area and superbly appointed kitchen showcasing engineered stone benches, a pressed metal look tiled splashback, white shaker cabinetry, double underbench ovens, an induction cooktop and Bosch dishwasher, accompanied by a generous butler's-style pantry. Meanwhile, a spectacular 2nd entertainment wing with country views comes complete with a home theatre with the capability to be opened to the entertaining area or enclosed beneath a raised circular ceiling, creating a true cinema experience.

But the true showpiece lies outdoors. A solar-heated salt-chlorinated pool is housed within an atrium-style enclosure, fringed by tropical plantings and paired with a spa, sauna, and poolhouse bathroom for complete resort-style indulgence. Meanwhile, a 2nd outdoor entertaining zone with magnificent reclaimed bridge timbers, and a built-in BBQ form the backdrop to unforgettable gatherings-weddings, milestones, or sun-drenched Sunday feasts. Graced by Longview Creek views, there's also a cute colonial style cubby house for the kids.

Accommodation is generously proportioned, with three bedrooms downstairs and two more tucked into a storybook attic loft. The main suite features a built in wardrobe and luxurious ensuite with a twin wave vanity, mosaic tiling, and a niched shower. A central bathroom echoes this elegance with a clawfoot tub and classic finishes. A large study/6th bedroom is positioned with direct access to the pool. The home also includes double glazing, Split system heating and cooling, and ceiling fans.

The estate's infrastructure further enhances its appeal with a vast 18m x 12m clear span shed with kitchen, toilet, mezzanine, workshop space; a 4-bay 9m x 12m open shed; a 2nd 12m x 20m high clearance shed; 5 paddocks (2 with water troughs); cattle facilities; dam; town water supply and extensive tank water supply (approx. 122.5kL); sprinkler system; a chicken coop; and dog run.

Privately positioned just a 10-minute drive to the cafés, schools, and train stations of Riddells Creek and Sunbury, Red Rock Christian Primary and Secondary college 5mins drive, and with fast freeway links to Melbourne, this exceptional holding delivers the ultimate rural lifestyle-grand in vision, and rich in luxury.
