Little Hampton, VIC 3458

Just minutes from Trentham and within easy reach of Daylesford, this exceptional country estate offers a unique opportunity to acquire a property where magnificent gardens, permanent water, substantial infrastructure, and timeless country living blend harmoniously. Nestled privately in a picturesque rural setting, this distinguished estate has been carefully developed and nurtured over many years.

The centerpiece of the property is a remarkable collection of mature gardens, designed as a series of interconnected garden rooms linked by winding pathways, avenues, and carefully framed vistas. Each garden space reveals its own distinctive beauty throughout the seasons. A grand driveway lined with mature plane trees creates a memorable entrance, leading through towering dogwoods, established rhododendrons, and an enchanting magnolia walk.

The formal parterre gardens provide timeless elegance, complemented by expansive plantings of roses, irises, seasonal bulbs, and ornamental specimen trees that ensure year-round color and visual interest. A tranquil pond framed by ornamental pear trees welcomes visitors to the residence, while a stunning Japanese-inspired steel pergola draped with flowering cherry trees offers one of the property's most memorable garden experiences. Beyond this, a peaceful maple garden, established hedging, and thoughtfully positioned specimen plantings provide privacy, structure, and serenity throughout the landscape.

Among the many botanical highlights is an exceptional pussy willow tree of remarkable age and scale, adding another layer of distinction to these extraordinary grounds. The Master Builder-constructed residence is positioned to embrace the surrounding landscape, offering beautiful garden views from every room. Built from enduring Mt Gambier limestone, the home features three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an oversized double garage.

The wide tiled entrance and high ceilings create an immediate sense of space and quality. The generous living room, centered around a welcoming wood fire, flows effortlessly into a light-filled sunroom overlooking the gardens, creating inviting spaces to relax throughout every season. The timeless kitchen combines practicality with quality, featuring stone benchtops, a Blanco wall oven, and Bosch dishwasher, while maintaining a wonderful connection to the surrounding landscape.

Beyond the home lies an impressive array of infrastructure rarely found on properties of this caliber. The substantial 25m by 20m custom-built shed with concrete flooring offers exceptional flexibility. It could serve as an equestrian complex with multiple stables and tack rooms, a commercial nursery, workshop, event space, storage facility, or home-based business headquarters (subject to council approval). Complementing this is a large 17m by 7m machinery shed with concrete flooring, roller-door access, and dedicated workshop space, providing outstanding accommodation for machinery, vehicles, equipment, trades, or agricultural pursuits.

The land is thoughtfully divided into paddocks incorporating grazing areas, native forest, and picturesque dam surrounds. Water is an integral part of the landscape, with two spring-fed freshwater dams stocked with rainbow trout, creating stunning focal points while offering opportunities for fishing, swimming, and productive land use. Overlooking the water, a charming self-contained cabin with kitchenette and outdoor entertaining area provides the perfect retreat for guests, creative pursuits, or peaceful relaxation. Decking and a private jetty further enhance the waterfront setting, creating an idyllic place to unwind while enjoying the surrounding landscape.

Adding another unique dimension to the property is a striking sculpture park featuring a dramatic steel moon gate and a large-scale Getty Centre-inspired steel tree, seamlessly blending art with the natural environment. For those seeking greater self-sufficiency, horticultural pursuits, or boutique agricultural ventures, the property is exceptionally well equipped with a poly tunnel greenhouse, extensive rainwater storage, woodshed, and fertile productive land.

The renowned Trentham district is ideally suited to premium cool-climate produce including peonies, truffles, and specialty potatoes, offering exciting opportunities for both lifestyle and commercial pursuits. Properties offering this exceptional combination of established gardens, permanent water, quality accommodation, and extensive infrastructure are becoming increasingly scarce. The true value of this remarkable estate lies not only in what exists today but also in the decades of vision, care, and dedication required to recreate it. This is a truly extraordinary lifestyle property to enjoy today and cherish for generations to come.
