Where Botanical Grandeur Meets Architectural Brilliance - A Private Estate Beyond Compare

An estate of extraordinary rarity, 35 Madison Place is a breathtaking private sanctuary where bold contemporary architecture, world class landscaping and an unrivalled lifestyle converge on a substantial Gippsland landholding. From the moment you pass through the brick pillared, gated entrance and wind along a canopied silver birch driveway, the sense of arrival is unlike anything the local market has witnessed. The architecturally striking residence featuring dark cladding, rendered facades, expanses of glass and an extensive rooftop solar array commands a gently elevated position at the heart of its magnificent grounds.

Inside, a suite of generously proportioned and individually styled living spaces await; a formal living room anchored by a floor to ceiling tiled electric fireplace feature wall with soaring ceilings; a relaxed family living room with freestanding log combustion fireplace and full width glass opening to the pool deck; a large formal dining room; and a chef’s kitchen dressed in rich timber cabinetry with a mobile butcher’s block island, dishwasher and garden outlook. The palatial master suite (6.0 x 4.8m) enjoys direct deck access, a walk in robe and a hotel calibre ensuite with twin vessel basins, while three additional bedrooms, a second full bathroom, dedicated home study/studio with wrap around benching, and a smartly appointed laundry complete the interior offering. Split-system air conditioning, ceiling fans, solar hot water and multiple heat sources ensure comfort in every season.

Step outside and discover an outdoor domain of genuinely staggering scale and beauty. The full length in ground pool with contemporary blade water feature, pool lighting and glass balustrade is the social centrepiece, surrounded by expanses of premium hardwood decking and a series of distinct entertaining zones: a covered pergola, a dedicated all seasons outdoor room featuring timber flooring, pendant lighting and wood fireplace; an open alfresco dining terrace; a sunken fire pit courtyard; and an indoor bar with folding servery window perfectly framed to capture the lake view beyond. The ornamental gardens that envelop the residence are nothing short of phenomenal. A richly layered, decades in the making landscape of Japanese maples, established Silver Birches, Chinese Pistachios, Crepe Myrtles, succulents, flowering perennials and mature specimen trees that burst with colour across every season. Winding timber boardwalk paths meander through distinct garden rooms, dramatic large scale metal sculptures are positioned throughout with wit and wonder, and extensive garden lighting transforms the grounds after dark into something truly magical.

Beyond the ornamental gardens, sweeping green lawns slope gently to the property’s magnificent private lake, a large, natural looking dam fringed with weeping willows, reeds and water plantings, complete with a timber boardwalk, jetty and island platform, and a fountain aerating the water’s surface.

Aerial views reveal the true scale of this holding, with the residence, a large separate steel framed workshop and shed complex with dual roller doors and substantial hardstand, a dedicated cat run enclosure, and all gardens and grounds sitting comfortably within beautifully managed boundaries, all framed by private valley views that stretch to the horizon.

Positioned in the prestigious and picturesque semi rural locality of Hazelwood North, with convenient access to Traralgon and Latrobe Valley services and Melbourne via the Princes Highway, this is a property of genuine significance. Estates conceived, crafted and maintained to this extraordinary standard rarely, if ever, present themselves to the open market. For the discerning buyer seeking something truly exceptional, 35 Madison Place is, quite simply, without compare.
