Fourteen years ago the owners of the grand country estate, Fenton Park, fell in love with the property.
'I still remember walking down the front driveway before even stepping inside – we instantly fell in love,' they say.
'There was just something about the setting, the sense of arrival, the feeling that this was home.'
A rural oasis set on 8.9ha, the property features an in-ground pool, floodlit tennis court, five paddocks, a dam, ornamental pond, barn and five-bedroom residence all set behind the electronic wrought iron gates, at the end of a tree-lined driveway.
'This place gave us the lifestyle we dreamed of,' the vendors say.
'Summer days were spent around the pool; we got into horses, welcomed new arrivals, both four-legged and two-legged, and built the stables and fencing ourselves.'
The natural surroundings have also provided a sense of serenity and relaxation for the family.
'What's unique is the way the home is positioned toward the front of the block, you don't realise how expansive it is until you step out the back.
'There's a full track that loops around the property, roughly a kilometre in length, and I walk it every morning.
'The wetlands at the rear attract beautiful birdlife, and the sunsets out there are nothing short of spectacular,' they say.
'The privacy, the greenery, the bushland that surrounds the home. You can hear the birds, not the traffic.'
The Mount Eliza location, only minutes to the private schools, beaches, and the village, is convenient and helps create a balanced lifestyle for all family members.
'Mt Eliza offers a unique blend of village charm and country atmosphere,' the vendors say.
'It's that slower, more grounded way of living surrounded by nature, horses, and space, yet just minutes from the beach, leading private schools, and within easy reach of Melbourne. You truly get the best of both worlds here.'
The home itself, built in 1988, offers period elegance with open fireplaces, Victorian-style bay windows, French doors, a turret ceiling, a stunning entrance hall, a sweeping staircase and polished timber benchtops and floorboards.
Featuring four living areas, five bedrooms, a private library or study, a billiards room, and an attic studio, the light-filled home is spacious and grand.
'It has that classic character,' the vendors say.
'A true country home feel with soaring 6-metre ceilings and warm, welcoming spaces. There's room for everyone with multiple living zones and enough space for a billiard table, table tennis, and more. It's a statement home.'
Homes and Acreage, Balnarring agent Grant Perry has listed the 8.9ha estate at 60 Grant Rd, Mount Eliza, with price hopes from $9.5m to $10.45m.
