An extraordinary neoclassical contemporary estate on a private peninsula jutting out into Lauriston Reservoir, set amidst 13 hectares of manicured grounds with stunning water views. This palatial home, inspired by English stately grandeur, boasts awe-inspiring interiors designed for luxurious living, offering an unparalleled blend of elegance, space, and natural beauty.

Enter via a dramatic sweeping driveway lined with a colonnade of Lombardy Poplar trees leading up to a graceful portico entrance, setting the tone for the atmospheric architectural façade that conceals this completely unique waterside opportunity, seven minutes from Kyneton and only one hour to Melbourne.

Originally designed to host music concerts and recitals, three grand north facing reception rooms feature 4.5m high ceilings and comprise a family room, drawing room and a beautiful conservatory with views to the water. The interiors are exquisite, featuring hand painted ceilings by Peter Zagaris, trompe l’oeil artwork by Mary Lanarch-Jones and polished concrete floors, combining to create an ideal venue for large scale entertaining. Arched transom windows welcome plenty of light into the conservatory that opens through several sets of French doors to an elevated terrace that offers box seat views of the water. 

A custom hardwood kitchen with integrated refrigeration, Ilve freestanding cooker, butler’s sink and hand painted joinery confirms the practicalities, along with a basement level entertaining room, accessed via the conservatory, providing additional multipurpose space also connecting to the outside grounds.

In the southern wing, find 2.4m ceilings that captivate, along with east-west orientation that invites plenty of natural light. The opulent main bedroom features an ensuite with clawfoot bath, while striking book-matched marble features in the family bathroom that serves two additional bedrooms with built in robes. A sitting room, kitchen and dining room, laundry and mudroom, and large store complete the ground floor.  

A combination of imported European and local artisanal fixtures and fittings, antique light fittings, wrought iron doors, polished concrete, Baltic pine and quarry tiled floors, grand fireplaces and classically inspired interior design punctuates throughout, making ‘Cygnet’ a truly special experience.
