This single-level contemporary home is set on three idyllic acres in Harkaway, around 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, presenting an uncompromised holistic family lifestyle sanctuary. 

The northerly oriented residence was designed by Marcus D’Amico, complete with a dedicated wellness centre, a wet deck Magna pool, a flood lit tennis court, and a multi-purpose workshop and office pavilion.

“This property has an incredible feel from the moment you drive through the front gates and pass by the Cedar Pine Trees,” Ben Vieth told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“The design of the house flows seamlessly around the pool and showcases the serene nature of country living.” 

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Marcus D’Amico said “It's great to see a much loved project go on the market. I was engaged to design this new home in Harkaway with a focus on working with the rolling terrain while framing the surrounding landscaping and amazing vistas. The centrepiece anchoring the design is the internal courtyard with a pool bathed in northern light.”

Privately positioned behind automatic gates, a cypress tree-lined avenue leads towards the home framed by a 120-year-old oak tree and flanked by a Moorish-inspired reflection pond. Turkish limestone flooring unites the interior and exterior in the home, where generously proportioned light-filled living spaces are enhanced by an organic materials palette of natural stone, limed oak, pure wool, and billowy linen. 

The approx. 3.75-metre-high floor-to-ceiling glass glides open to connect the indoor and outdoor living areas, while a wood fire heater adds a warming ambience further enriched with underfloor heating. The undercover alfresco entertaining zone features a built-in barbecue, an outdoor shower, and beyond the stunning fully tiled solar heated Magna swimming pool and north-south mod-grass floodlit tennis court, there is an in-ground trampoline, a custom kids’ playground, and chicken coop.
