10 minutes to Daylesford | 20 minutes to Castlemaine

Nestled amid the rolling hills below Mt Franklin, this exceptional 40-acre estate combines an elegantly restored period homestead with a renowned vineyard, and multiple lifestyle and business options in the heart of Victoria’s celebrated spa and wine country - just minutes from Daylesford and Castlemaine.

The traditional, simple Italian-style vineyard was established over 10 acres nearly 30 years ago. Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, and Dolcetto vines thrive in Mt Franklin’s rich volcanic soils producing fruit renowned with local winemakers, and estate-grown wines produced under the Mafic label.

A 4-acre olive grove producing extra virgin olive oil, and small paddocks designed for regenerative grazing add further diversity and income potential.

The circa 1890 residence underwent a major architect-designed renovation (MBAV Award Winner, 2019), achieving a 6.5-star energy rating while preserving its heritage character. Features include Baltic pine floors, pressed metal ceilings, Smeg kitchen with stone benchtops, hydronic heating, reverse cycle air conditioning, and a Morso wood heater. A wraparound verandah, heated salt pool, spa and hilltop views complete the picture.

Extensive infrastructure includes 7kW + 6.6kW solar, underground power, multiple rainwater and bore tanks for property-wide irrigation, four-bay machinery shed, and a licensed winery building and cellar door with small commercial kitchen.

With its productive vineyard, luxurious home and peaceful setting, this is a rare opportunity to live, work, and create in the heart of Victoria’s wine and spa country.
