About this property

Vale Hill House A breathtaking country estate

A breathtaking country estate that redefines luxury living in Victoria’s Goldfields. Step into the grandeur of Vale Hill House.

This showpiece residence boasts four opulent bedrooms, three and a half designer bathrooms, two gourmet kitchens, and a double-height entrance hall that sets the tone for the home's sweeping scale. Multiple lounges, dens, and entertaining zones are styled to perfection by the late Stuart Rattle, offering a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication.

The 1850s original homestead fuses effortlessly into a contemporary masterpiece, preserving its heritage soul while introducing bold architectural flair and panoramic views across the plains. Original bluestone walls, aged hardwood lintels, and sashless windows preserve the 19th-century charm, while a striking industrial steel staircase and expansive glass panel above the stone wall flood the interior with natural light beneath a soaring metal roof. The entertainer’s kitchen features an Aga oven, two Miele ovens, dual dishwashers, and a gas cooktop. The principal suite offers views to Mt Kooroocheang, with a private balcony, ensuite, den, and study. Two generous guest bedrooms share a spa bathroom and lounge. The self-contained barn apartment has the fourth bedroom and includes a lounge, bathroom, and kitchenette.

Outside, the estate unfolds into formal terraced gardens, two hectares of paddocks (home to alpacas and hand-raised sheep), and one of Victoria’s largest edible domestic gardens a lush maze of fruit trees and shrubs that feels like something out of a fairy tale. The garden is exquisite: a marquee lawn framed by steel-raised beds with 160 award-winning rose bushes and over 350 fruit trees and edible plants supplying top-tier local restaurants. Sculptural and architectural elements blend classical and modern artistry. A standout feature is the luxurious heated pool with deck and sweeping panoramic views.

This exquisite estate is more than a home it’s a living canvas of heritage, nature, and design. With sweeping views across the plains and toward Mt Kooroocheang, the residence blends charm with bold architectural elegance. Inside, refined spaces styled by Stuart Rattle offer warmth and sophistication, but it’s the gardens that truly steal the show. It’s a place where every view feels like a painting, and every garden path leads to something magical.
