Tucked behind a stately fence and framed by English box hedge and magnolias, with a formal enclosed courtyard, The Gatehouse at Hidden Valley is a residence of rare architectural beauty and local significance. Originally built under the vision of Robert Holmes a Court as the entry residence to the prestigious Heytesbury Stud, this Cape Dutch-style home sits proudly on just over five acres, combining heritage elegance with modern comfort in one of Wallan's most exclusive estates.
The striking facade, with its curvilinear gables and whitewashed masonry, creates a sense of grandeur on arrival. Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and French doors connect spacious interiors to manicured gardens and expansive outdoor entertaining areas. The home offers both formal and casual living zones, including a refined lounge with courtyard views and a large family room opening to a wide pergola and alfresco terrace, complete with cafe-style blinds to allow for year-round entertaining.
The kitchen blends rustic charm with contemporary updates, featuring solid timber cabinetry, a central island, walk-in pantry, pressed metal splashback, dishwasher, and the original St George oven - a nostalgic centrepiece.
Accommodation includes three oversized bedrooms, each with ample storage. The master suite offers a walk-in robe, stylish ensuite, and heritage leadlight windows reclaimed from the Holmes a Court mansion. The additional bedrooms are generously scaled and serviced by a beautifully renovated main bathroom with double vanities, frameless shower, and an elegant freestanding bath.
Beyond the home, sweeping lawns, topiary hedges, and hidden garden nooks create a tranquil retreat, while four fenced acres provide space for horses or livestock. Additional features include ducted heating, refrigerated cooling, wood heater, double remote garage with workshop, separate Colorbond shed ideal for caravan storage, water tanks, mains and bore water supply, and quality fixtures throughout.
Hidden Valley Estate offers a lifestyle like no other, with walking trails, lakes, an 18-hole golf course, country club, tennis courts, indoor horse arena, pool, children's park, and restaurant. Just minutes from Wallan's town centre, schools, train station, and the Hume Freeway - and under 40 minutes to Melbourne Airport - the location balances rural serenity with city convenience.
The Gatehouse is more than a home: it's a piece of history, a timeless work of architecture, and a sanctuary of style and space. Rarely does a property of this calibre become available, making this an unmissable opportunity.
