Set on the distinguished Hill Street - one of Daylesford’s most coveted and peaceful pockets - stands Warrack, an elegantly restored Victorian residence with a rich and storied past. Originally crafted in the late 1800s by Joseph Burall, prominent mine manager of the Quartz Mining Co., this remarkable home has been meticulously transformed through a full restoration that honours its heritage with absolute integrity while introducing luxurious contemporary appointments throughout.
A refined double-fronted façade, heritage timber detailing and original brick chimneys announce its historic significance, while the surrounding country garden has been designed for year-round ease and beauty. The leafy streetscape, framed by Hill Street’s magnificent ash trees that blaze with striking autumn colour, creates an atmosphere of quiet distinction. From this peaceful enclave, it is a mere 100-metre stroll to the historic Convent Gallery and the Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens, and only 500 metres more to the vibrant cafés and boutiques of Daylesford township.
Inside, the home exudes warmth, charm, and the romance of its Victorian origins. Every space has been carefully restored as an example of fine craftmanship with rich colours and impeccable design. Bedrooms showcase restored Victorian fireplaces and mantles with marble-tiled hearths, accompanied by heritage features such as ornate ceiling roses, architraves and skirting boards. High ceilings and expansive windows allow natural light to cascade throughout, while luxurious fixtures and thoughtful modern enhancements elevate the home to a standard seldom seen.
The north-facing open-plan kitchen and meals area is flooded with natural light and opens to a spacious verandah. Featuring a Carrara marble benchtop and premium SMEG appliances, the space is further enriched with character by a large farmhouse sink with Perrin & Rowe tapware, and wooden lining boards. This elegant hub flows seamlessly to two living areas and the dining space, creating an inviting environment for both entertaining and everyday family life.
Both front and rear decks spill gently into the garden, offering tranquil spaces for morning coffee, evening wine, or long, leisurely weekends shared with friends. A standout feature is the expansive studio—a sophisticated, light-filled space designed for versatility and creativity. Complete with its own sink, built-in storage, and fridge, it transitions seamlessly to a private fifth bedroom with an adjoining bathroom, forming an ideal guest suite, artist’s retreat, or executive workspace.
Warrack is a masterful fusion of heritage craftsmanship and contemporary luxury—a timeless residence, steeped in history yet tailored for modern living. Opportunities to secure a home of such elegance, authenticity and location are exceedingly scarce. This is a sanctuary of enduring beauty, awaiting its next custodian.
