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.

Inside the $5 million hotel-inspired mansion straight out of Pinterest
An imposing and luxurious contemporary home in the leafy, semi-rural suburb of Plenty has hit the market for the first time since it was built in 2002. Listed with a price guide of $5 million to $5.5 million, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom home was thoughtfully designed by its owners, who have lived in the family home for the past 13 years. "They've built other homes in the past and they really enjoy the process of design and construction," said listing agent Aaron Yeats from Jellis Craig Greensborough. "With this home, they took inspiration from hotels they have stayed at and things they had seen on Pinterest, and then had an architect put the plans together," Yeats explained. He said the result is an extraordinary home that blends exceptional luxury and breathtaking interiors while inviting in the natural beauty of its surroundings on Melbourne's green fringe. "They've used lots of different high-end materials in the property, which if you saw them individually, you'd think how is that surface going to work with that. But they've brought it all together beautifully," he said. Finishes include concrete formwork and flooring, reclaimed San Selmo bricks imported from Spain, anodised bronze aluminium baton walls and grand oak herringbone flooring. Yeats says it is only once you step foot inside the property that you get a sense of the true scale of the home. "The scale and overall nature of the property is just so impressive," he said. "As soon as you arrive, there is this huge door that opens into an enormous foyer with a full wall of windows behind and it is only then you can fully appreciate the scale of it," he said. The ground-level entry foyer boasts an atrium garden and soaring six-metre-high ceilings, a dining zone and sunken lounge, complete with a custom-designed couch, a state-of-the-art kitchen, with an adjoining butler's pantry, while the in-floor heating keeps the concrete floors warm underfoot. Upstairs is finished in luxurious Grand Oak herringbone flooring, with the master suite occupying its own private wing, featuring huge his-and-hers dressing rooms and a luxurious ensuite. There is also a guest bedroom with an ensuite, all of which flows outdoors to a parent's retreat and entertaining zones. You will also find a grand home office with built-in bookshelves, a billiards room with a wet bar and wine storage, and a 12-seater home theatre, a commercial-grade gym, steam room, and Laava sauna. Meanwhile, a striking, curved, full metal staircase leads to a teenager's retreat, and four additional bedrooms, each with a walk-in robe and a modern ensuite. Outdoors there is a central solar-heated pool and spa, a poolside entertaining and relaxation area, a floodlit tennis court, and a covered alfresco zone with an outdoor kitchen. The home also boasts a 10,000-litre water tank that supports sustainable living, while a 19.8kW solar array with a 15kW 3-phase GE inverter and HCA series EV charger have been fitted for energy efficiency. Located approximately 25 kilometres from Melbourne's CBD, Yeates said people from all parts of Melbourne have travelled to view the property in-person. 'It's definitely generated a lot of interest and it's bringing in people from all parts of town," he said. "I think it's fair to say that most people are more interested in the house itself more so than the location," he said. "Because there is a lot of concrete in the home, I think a lot of people expect it to feel cold and stark but when you walk in, it just feels very liveable, which I think comes as a shock to some people." Yeats says for such a sprawling home it is also requires surprisingly little upkeep "I would say it's pretty special in that it's such a large property but it's also fairly low maintenance. There's not a lot of garden and the whole home is just very usable and liveable," he said.
