3 Ladd Square, Emerald, Vic 3782

Step into a world where elegance meets thoughtful design, and every corner of the property tells a story. Set on five beautifully landscaped acres just moments from the heart of Emerald and a short drive to Beaconsfield & Berwick, this rare, multigenerational estate offers a unique lifestyle opportunity that blends privacy, charm, and grandeur.

From the moment you enter the tree-lined driveway, flanked by white cherry blossoms, you are transported to a place where nature and architecture exist in perfect harmony. At the base of the drive, the solid brick two-storey Gatehouse welcomes you. Hedged, paved, and complete with an outdoor entertaining area, it offers two spacious upstairs bedrooms, a study, a galley-style kitchen, bathroom, and cozy living spaces with reverse cycle heating/cooling and a wood fire - a perfect blend of comfort and character.

As you ascend the driveway, the Main Residence reveals itself in spectacular fashion. Crafted with precision and pride, it boasts an unforgettable entry - a towering custom door sets the tone for what lies beyond. Soaring six-meter ceilings and solid timber floors laid on the diagonal, huge solid timber custom made doors throughout lead you through elegant living and dining zones into a stunning family kitchen. Outfitted with Smeg appliances and granite benches, the new kitchen opens to a serene, glass-enclosed room - and at the back of the pool there is a little oasis for relaxation or meditation, overlooking a private pool area.

Framed by towering hedges and lush plantings, the resort-style area is flanked by underground rooms - one housing pool equipment, the other a bathroom. A clever design feature includes a wisteria-covered wall that offers cool summer shade while allowing warm winter sun to stream through the windows warming the home in winter.

The Main Home continues to impress with a luxurious master retreat, complete with a walk-through robe and spa ensuite. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized with built-in robes, plus there is a separate study and a children's retreat/games area that opens to a designer bathroom fitted with modern European tapware. Climate comfort is guaranteed with reverse cycle systems and a commanding wood fire that heats the entire home with ease.

To the other side of the main home, wander into the European-style solid brick courtyard, with hedging, fruit trees, outdoor kitchen, an imported pizza oven from Tuscany - an entertainer's dream. The Merbau-timbered utility rooms and expansive veggie gardens are thoughtfully tucked away nearby, along with a fire pit area and protected wood storage close to the home, down to a underground extra large double carport that leads up to the back of the main dwelling under a covered walkway.

Opposite the main residence, the Coach House is another solid brick structure, currently serving as a workshop and additional accommodation. With a double carport, three stables (all with automated watering systems), and space for a future transformation, this building could easily become a two- or three-bedroom temporary accomodation subject to council approval. It boasts a magnificent red ironbark staircase by Slattery & Acroffe, and split-level living potential.

The property has two separate driveways - one off a sealed road from Emerald-Beaconsfield Road, and another leading to the rear, offering ease of access and privacy. The land itself is stunning: three paddocks, two large flat playing or riding areas, extensive plantings of established ornamental trees, and a bountiful harvest of fruits and nuts - including citrus, walnuts, quince, figs, apples, hazelnuts, and more. Herbs grow in abundance across the garden beds, and the steel-structured outdoor zones ensure long-lasting, low-maintenance living.
