The previous suburb record was held by 5 Park Ave, Plenty, which sold for $3.775m in May 2023, according to publicly available property records.
Jellis Craig Greensborough and Hurstbridge director Aaron Yeats said did not comment on the sale price but told The Herald Sun the home had attracted strong attention since launch, including multiple private inspections and 'very strong digital engagement'.
'It's almost certainly the most expensive home ever offered in Plenty,' Mr Yeats said.
The pool zone is perfectly positioned to capture year-round sun and includes in-floor cleaning, solar heating, and a self-filling feature spa.
The sunken lounge delivers a cinematic sense of scale, anchored by a soaring void, sculptural chandelier and statement concrete feature wall.
'But it's also the newest and largest, from a build and replacement cost perspective alone, the value is outstanding.'
The six-bedroom residence features a curved concrete staircase, soaring six-metre atrium entry, in-floor slab heating, billiards room and outdoor spa among a suite of luxury inclusions.
It was previously showcased on Open Homes Australia before landscaping was complete, and has since gained widespread attention across digital platforms including Melbourne House Spotters, Spacecraft and Jellis Craig's internal reach campaign.
A dramatic blend of reclaimed San Selmo brick, circular openings and curated artwork showcases the home's architectural depth and design finesse.
The dedicated home office pairs custom joinery with leafy views, ideal for remote work or quiet study in a high-end, light-filled setting.
Social media has further turbocharged the campaign, with Instagram posts from property pages such as Melbourne House Spotters and Million Dollar Listing Melbourne drawing tens of thousands of views, likes and comments.
One reel showcasing the dramatic entry and pool view drew a flurry of interest in just days.
The luxury kitchen is fitted with premium Ilve appliances, a long stone island finished in Ambassador Stone, and an adjoining butler's pantry.
The covered alfresco zone blends seamlessly with the poolside deck, complete with an outdoor kitchen for effortless entertaining in every season.
Mr Yeats said that while the Open Homes appearance wasn't a major focus, the property had 'absolutely benefited from digital momentum'.
The owners, who have built several bespoke homes, worked closely with their architect to realise a lifestyle inspired by luxury hotels and international design.
'They love the creative process,' he said.
One of the home's six spacious bedrooms, this light-filled retreat features floor-to-ceiling glazing, garden views, and a luxe walk-in robe.
The home cinema is designed for the ultimate movie night, with tiered seating and gold class finishes.
'The feedback has been phenomenal, and they're genuinely proud of what they've created here.'
The main bedroom includes dual dressing rooms, a private retreat and deluxe ensuite, while the kitchen offers stone finishes, premium appliances and a butler's pantry with integrated fridge-freezers.
Mr Yeats said the home was ideally suited to a large or multigenerational family seeking 'resort-style living' in a tightly held location.
'You could go on holiday and still not find this level of luxury or amenity,' he said.
A commercial-grade Laava sauna and adjoining steam shower bring spa-style indulgence to the home's wellness wing, no gym membership required.
A sculptural full-metal staircase curves beneath statement lighting, linking the home's expansive ground level with its private upstairs retreat.
The resort-style pool and spa form the heart of the outdoor zone, framed by lush landscaping and designed for all-day sun and seamless entertaining.

Runners of the week: Rhythm Biosciences, Roolife, Waratah & Lindian
It was a big week for Australian resources on the exchange. As iron ore pushed above the US$100 (A$150) per tonne mark and gold held near all-time highs, the blue suits and RM Williams boots of corporate resources descended upon Kalgoorlie's annual Diggers and Dealers forum. Despite the seemingly incessant needs of gold CEOs to reach into their pockets to compare free cash flow charts, it was the unlikely rare earths sector that stole the show. Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King suggested at Diggers on Tuesday that Australia might follow the United States in setting a price floor for magnet rare earths production Down Under. The announcement was quickly followed by Iluka Resources, which is constructing a government-funded refinery in Geraldton in Western Australia's Mid West, announcing it would fork out $32 million for a slice of critical rare earths supply from one of this week's Runners. The all-seeing, all-knowing market overlords at the ASX were in hot water this week, after the market operator mistakenly mixed up the $10 billion Aussie internet service provider TPG Telecom with US-based TPG Capital Asia. Amid an ongoing investigation into persistent governance and operational issues, the almighty ASX exacerbated its problems by mistakenly claiming, without clarification, that TPG Telecom was acquiring a software developer, when the acquisition was being made by TPG Capital Asia, a private equity firm. TPG telecom stock went into a trading pause, causing mass confusion and volume losses, before the ASX came out and said 'nothing to see here', 'carry on as you were'. All trades from the morning's open were cancelled, while TPG lost $400 million off its intraday market valuation. The massive operator gaffe follows pressure by Australia's watchdog ASIC, investigating misleading clearing advice by the ASX, which could lead to the operator losing its monopoly status in Australia, just as encroaching US sharks' circle. Perhaps surprisingly, this week's Bulls N' Bears ASX Runner of the Week wasn't taken out by a resources company on Diggers week. Rather, a biotech hopeful continued a string of biotech and AI company dominance of late, with impressive results from its cancer screening technology.
