The Quiet Journey Home

Resting gently on Red Hill’s prized northern side, where the famed Merricks Trail winds beneath tall pines, lies a home that feels less discovered than remembered.


Beyond the timber post and rail fencing, the approach itself is a story that can be told over & over. Green paddocks, ornamental trees, over the little creek, between two glassy dams where each turn whispers you’re nearly home.


The residence, a single-level farmhouse thoughtfully renewed over time, blends classical proportions with quiet luxury. Marble and royal oak flooring define the interiors, while Gaggenau appointments, double glazing, open wood & gas fireplaces and ducted climate control air-conditioning ensure effortless comfort in every season. Two sumptuous bedroom suites as well as two further bedrooms allow for multi-generational living or welcoming guests with ease, and the open plan kitchen anchors the central living by its striking island bench spills naturally toward sunlit terraces and calm outdoor spaces.


Beyond the gardens, a heated wet-edge pool invites long afternoons in the sun, while the arena, round yard, and extensive shedding infrastructure cater to horses, hobbies, and every rural indulgence. With abundant water, chook shed, 10kW solar and battery system, and complete privacy, the property epitomises sustainable luxury in its most relaxed Red Hill form.


Where once a train made its slow ascent to the old station, now the journey home is quieter but every bit as memorable. The sound of tyres on the cattle grid, the soft pause before the gates open, and the familiar welcome of a place long loved and rarely found.


Sometimes it’s not just a property that’s being sold, it’s a piece of a shared story, one that lives on quietly in the trees, the trail, and the friends next door.
