A New Zealand–inspired farmhouse conceived by Australia’s leading design minds—Blasco Stuart Architects, Wright St Design, and Biviano Builders—where architecture, craftsmanship, and landscape meet in spectacular harmony.
Set on just under four acres, this modern country estate perfectly captures the feeling of escape without isolation; expansive living still intimate enough to truly enjoy. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense you’ve left the everyday behind.
It sits within a tight-knit community, where kids still ride bikes down quiet streets and neighbours stop to chat—a cul-de-sac frequented only by those who call it home. Beyond the back fence, 60 hectares of public reserve stretch toward the horizon and the river flows within easy reach—all a natural extension of the property.
Each morning begins with uninterrupted views of trees and rolling hills; no houses, no noise, just calm. A remarkable feat considering the heart of Geelong is only 20 minutes away.
Inside, the house is built for connection and celebration. The open kitchen anchors the design—a space for family and friends to gather, where life spills effortlessly to the terrace and pool. In summer, the doors slide open to sunshine and the warm breeze; in winter, the Stuv fireplace and covered winter-garden terrace turn the home inward, warm and cocooned.
Throughout, craftsmanship runs deep; local steel, local stone, local hands. Kustom timber floors, SCLK cabinetry, and Calcutta Gold marble bring refinement without pretence. It’s luxurious yet relaxed; designed to be lived in, not tiptoed around.
The floor plan balances family life with independence. A children’s wing, complete with playroom and bedrooms, allows space to evolve as the family grows, while the main living areas remain open, light-filled, and perfectly in tune with the landscape—a beautiful flow of sweeping glass, steel and stone framing the view.
Beyond the home, a garden shed and workshop offer endless lifestyle possibilities—spaces for creativity, tinkering, or tending the land. The gardens are low-maintenance yet full of potential, offering the freedom to create a kitchen garden, orchard, or simply enjoy the serenity of the surrounding landscape.
A home that belongs to both land and community, crafted with intention, surrounded by beauty, and designed to last for generations.
Additional features include:
* Vzug and Miele appliances (including VZUG Butler refresh)
* Falcon Induction stove & oven
* Heated flooring in tiled bathrooms
* Beautiful wool carpets throughout
* Outdoor Escea Cooking Fireplace

With rolling mountains that shape the horizon, the Moorabool River meandering along behind the back fence, and 60 hectares of public reserve, you wouldn’t believe this home is just 20 minutes from Geelong’s centre. Achieving the elusive balance of seclusion and connection, Riverstone Homestead is oriented to capture both morning and afternoon light, with uninterrupted views across open countryside.
Set within a burgeoning, welcoming community, this special pocket is frequented only by locals, where children ride bikes in the street and evenings are marked by silence and starlight.
