Vale Hill House Un domaine campagnard à couper le souffle

A breathtaking country estate that redefines luxury living in Victoria’s Goldfields. Step into the grandeur of Vale Hill House.

This showpiece residence boasts four opulent bedrooms, three and a half designer bathrooms, two gourmet kitchens, and a double-height entrance hall that sets the tone for the home's sweeping scale. Multiple lounges, dens, and entertaining zones are styled to perfection by the late Stuart Rattle, offering a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication.

The 1850s original homestead fuses effortlessly into a contemporary masterpiece, preserving its heritage soul while introducing bold architectural flair and panoramic views across the plains. Original bluestone walls, aged hardwood lintels, and sashless windows preserve the 19th-century charm, while a striking industrial steel staircase and expansive glass panel above the stone wall flood the interior with natural light beneath a soaring metal roof.

The entertainer’s kitchen features an Aga oven, two Miele ovens, dual dishwashers, and a gas cooktop. The principal suite offers views to Mt Kooroocheang, complete with a private balcony, ensuite, den, and study. Two generous guest bedrooms share a spa bathroom and lounge, while the self-contained barn apartment houses the fourth bedroom and includes its own lounge, bathroom, and kitchenette.

Outside, the estate unfolds into formal terraced gardens, two hectares of paddocks home to alpacas and hand-raised sheep, and one of Victoria’s largest edible domestic gardens — a lush maze of fruit trees and shrubs that feels like something out of a fairy tale. The garden is truly exquisite: a marquee lawn framed by steel-raised beds with 160 award-winning rose bushes and over 350 fruit trees and edible plants supplying top-tier local restaurants. Sculptural and architectural elements blend classical and modern artistry throughout the grounds.

A standout feature is the luxurious solar heated pool with deck and sweeping panoramic views across the plains. Please note, the pool is seasonal and open from 1 November to 31 March only.

This exquisite estate is more than a home — it’s a living canvas of heritage, nature, and design. With sweeping views toward Mt Kooroocheang, refined interiors styled by Stuart Rattle, and breathtaking gardens at every turn, Vale Hill House offers an unforgettable luxury country escape. Every view feels like a painting, and every garden path leads to something magical.
