456-466 Warrandyte Ringwood Road
Warrandyte VIC 3113

Unearth a world of potential with this prominent Warrandyte property, sprawled across 20 private acres (approx.) and every bit your field of dreams.

Presented in the form of a bed and breakfast under the banner of 'George's Country House', this remarkable residence truly offers a world of opportunity for the homebuyer or entrepreneur with vision.


That vision may see a bride walking through the blossoming rose garden towards the groom standing with a celebrant in the gazebo, or feel the ballroom come to life with dancing in between gourmet degustation dishes. True visionaries might be able to smell the sweet scent of aromatherapy oils, or already taste the delicious hot breakfasts prepared for local and interstate travellers in the commercial kitchen, enjoyed of course in the formal dining room or terrace looking across the sprawling rear lawn. Evidently tailor-made for a wedding/restaurant function centre, health day spa, retreat or bed and breakfast (as is currently the case), there's also scope to utilise the enormous proportions of the residence and create a peaceful and private nursing home (STCA).

However, you might be tempted to secure this private sanctuary for your own family's enjoyment. And given the superior level of privacy, lush lawns for the kids to explore and resort-style living on offer, you could hardly be blamed for entertaining such a thought!

Soaring across three levels (four if you include the basement four-car remote garage with its own separate wine cellar and workshop area), such is the generosity of space that multi-generational living is very much possible. A radiant downstairs floorplan dressed with beautiful parquetry floors and soaring high ceilings successfully captures the regal character of the home, with a winding feature staircase enjoying pride of place in the lavish entry and arched doorways offering access to the numerous rooms, which include a grand Ballroom with an open fireplace, adjacent sitting room with views of the leafy landscape, a separate kitchen (huge timber island bench, Miele appliances, loads of storage and lengthy Butler's pantry with access to the commercial kitchen), formal dining room, living room, office area, bathroom facilities and spectacular indoor swimming pool area with a fully-tiled bathroom (with spa bath), sauna and Jacuzzi.

That's just the ground-floor. Head upstairs and discover two levels of generous-sized accommodation that could easily play host to at least two families. Four exceptionally large bedrooms (all with ensuites and split-system units) occupy the privacy of the first-floor layout, along with a central retreat that extends onto a large balcony that frames the sweeping views on offer. The second level, meanwhile, presents self-contained living quarters for the extended family with a central bedroom (with ensuite) flanked by two separate living areas - one of which boasts its own kitchenette.

Additional features of this incredible property include underfloor heating, split-system heating/cooling, parking for over 50 vehicles, its own dam and creek running through the rear of the property, large bird aviary, glass house and second four-car garage.

This potential-packed sanctuary is conveniently located only moments away from the heart of Warrandyte and Ringwood, schools, bus services and the Eastern Freeway/Eastlink.
