Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Simon O'Donnell said 19 Hammet Place offers country luxe in a relaxing and private oasis setting.  

“When you enter the property, there is an instant feeling of escapism and privacy from the outside world, as you are encapsulated by tall cypress hedging and a sense of calm. The garden design celebrates a scale and layout that only Paul Bangay could imagine,” Simon explained to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“The main house is fully renovated, with a concrete bench top kitchen, beautifully curated bathrooms and high-quality lighting throughout.  The outlook from here over the feature pond and up to Mt Macedon is stunning and the surrounding gardens are like an extension of the house, forming outside rooms. The architecturally-designed outdoor ‘clubhouse’ facilities are perfect for entertaining with friends for hours and modern technology allows lighting and irrigation control from anywhere in the world.”

Originally constructed in 2000, the current owner purchased the home in 2018, extending the gardens into a previously unused horse paddock, which now includes a vege garden area, tennis court, clubhouse and additional landscaping including external lighting. In 2021 the championship size tennis court was constructed by McNamara Courts, and the clubhouse and main house were renovated by Sarah Bryant of Bryant Alsop Architects and builder Original Projects.

The home’s extensive renovations have been designed to capture natural light, with views to Mount Macedon and surrounding aspects. It is north facing, and offers a balance of open-plan living and quiet retreats.
