Where luxury meets the landscape, this breathtaking lifestyle estate redefines rural sophistication. Set amid approximately 81 picturesque acres just moments from Ballarat, Creswick and Daylesford, Banyandah Homestead is a masterful fusion of classic country architecture, natural serenity, and contemporary refinement. With a spring-fed lake as its centrepiece, abundant wildlife, and a beautifully crafted homestead of timeless design, this is a property that embodies the very essence of prestige country living.
• The pristine heart of the estate is the remarkable 7 acre lake that glistens through the seasons, complete with an island sanctuary where black swans return each year to nest. Spring-fed and holding 90 megalitres of valuable water rights (available to sell), it offers both a serene visual statement and a significant natural asset.
• The architecturally designed timeless homestead was built by Classic Homes with a north-facing orientation, double-glazed windows, full wrap-around verandas, capturing breathtaking views from every room while delivering enduring comfort and elegance.
• Comprising five bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple living zones, and a dedicated mudroom, the layout combines family functionality with refined country luxury. Every detail reflects craftsmanship, warmth, and sophistication. With zoned MyPlace heating and cooling, underfloor heating to wet areas, ceiling fans, and an additional wood heater, the home ensures effortless comfort across all seasons.
• The gourmet kitchen is the perfect place to entertain or for the family to gather and features extensive storage, a generous pantry, Belling pyrolytic twin oven, and an Osburn Liberty wood burner for cooking and ambience, the kitchen blends beauty and practicality in equal measure.
• Step out on to the expansive outdoor entertaining area with automated weather blinds providing the perfect setting for year-round enjoyment - whether overlooking the mist rising from the lake in winter or the shimmer of summer sunshine across the water. It is also the perfect place to take in the country views as your animals graze the ample paddock spaces.
• Enveloped by native bushland at the rear and flanked by a boutique goat cheese farm and a working sheep property, the setting is private, peaceful, and quintessentially Australian. Daily visitors include kangaroos at play, echidnas in the warmer months, and majestic wedge-tailed eagles soaring above - a rare privilege to witness nature in perfect harmony.
• A large powered machinery shed, quality post-and-rail fencing, well-maintained cattle yards, chook pen, propagating shed, 14 water outlets, and a 110,000-litre freshwater tank complement the property's versatility.
• Having successfully hosted weddings and private events - from grand marquee celebrations to intimate winter gatherings under the stars - this property offers an extraordinary opportunity for an exclusive events or boutique accommodation venture (STCA).
• For a further escape, spend a night in the cabin by the lake with a fire to keep you cozy. A great place to wind down, do a spot of fishing for redfin or trout and a further option for income potential.
• Banyandah Homestead is more than a residence - it is a rare and refined country estate where every element has been thoughtfully curated for beauty, lifestyle, and legacy.
• Just 10 minutes to Ballarat and Creswick, 15 minutes to Daylesford, and within an hour of Melbourne or Geelong, this is regional luxury at its absolute finest.
