469 Healesville - Koo Wee Rup Road, Healesville

You could hit the town in heavenly Healesville with its abundance of wineries and restaurants and be blissfully occupied for as long as you’d like.

Or, you could take a little jag beyond and out to this stylish, contemporary spread – perfectly set on a scenic rise – and enjoy both spectacle and serenity.

Plant your feet on just about any part of 469 Healesville-Koo Wee Rup Road, inside or out, among the 17 hectares and excellent, expansive views surround you.

This is the kind of place where you can stride from one deck across a light, lofty living room and arrive out at another, both outlooks green, restorative and glorious.

“When you walk into that open space from the entry, it’s a bit of a show-stopper,” says Barry Plant’s Sarah Savio. This splendid living-dining-kitchen area with its raked ceiling and glass stacker doors on both sides opens out onto abundant al fresco areas and the solar-heated pool.

If vineyards are your thing, even better – there are 6500 vines producing pinot noir here, and their low-maintenance variety means their upkeep isn’t overly taxing.

“It’s completely off-grid too,” adds Savio, who oversees the private sale of this panoramic package. The price guide is $2.9 million to $3.1 million.

69 Mason Street, Newport

Blossoming trees, thriving veggies and a bountiful orchard provide produce, greenery and dappled shade at this much-loved oasis of a professional garden designer. The property’s classic weatherboard Federation-era cottage is nicely renovated, with period features restored. Bifold doors and cafe windows across the dining-kitchen zone greet a broad deck. Wander the garden path to a cute studio or playroom.

139 Fenwick Street, Carlton North

A cornflower-blue door, tuckpointed brickwork and original tessellated tiles, painstakingly restored, distinguish the facade of city-fringe c1880s Ferngrove Villa. The terrace’s elegant and innovative renovation was years in the planning and took 12 months of labour from its owner-builders. Enjoy secluded relaxation in the courtyard, rooftop vistas from a balcony off the study, and a city view from the rooftop barbecue deck.

42 Empress Road, Surrey Hills

The immaculate, feature-packed gardens of mid-1920s Bramleigh, designed by the landscaper-vendor, are as picture-perfect as its dainty, single-level Edwardian abode. At the north-facing rear is a plunge pool with a copper shower, a cottage-style work shed, built-in seating and an al fresco deck that seamlessly transitions to the living zone. Inside, the generous size of the parents’ domain and study or lounge are impressive.

23 Carrington Street, Hampton East

The bayside family townhouse brief is nailed at this contemporary build with a main bedroom (with en suite) on each level, sliding doors to a north-facing deck shaded by an ornamental grapevine, and an architectural timber staircase. It’s one of two built back-to-back about five years ago. “It caters to a wide group of buyers,” the agent says. “Everyone likes the aesthetics of it.”

12 Viewbank Street, Shoreham

Look around this 1987 western red cedar-clad showpiece by Russell Barrett Architects, and you’ll see it sits outside the square. “It pivots off the central circular al fresco space, so there are few straight walls,” the agent says. “It was built for the views, and it’s different, funky, very cool.” The updated home, encircled by vast decks, sits on tranquil acreage in the gourmet food-and-winery paradise that is the Mornington Peninsula.

15 Wright Street, Bentleigh

The raked parapet wall of this high-tech new home, somewhat inspired by the 1970s, is a scene stealer in its quiet street near popular Allnut Park. Perforated Krause Emperor brickwork creates a private balcony for the upstairs media and games rooms. Downstairs, timber-lined ceilings emphasise the soaring heights of the main living zone, which looks out to the pool and barbecue terrace.

502/12 Duckett Street, Brunswick

Designed to touch lightly on our planet, this fifth-floor apartment in the Nightingale Village’s acclaimed Evergreen block by architect Clare Cousins sings with a pared-back aesthetic and lifestyle. Built in 2022, it was bought off the plan by a Breathe architect passionate about its environment-conscious concepts and communal lifestyle, spaces and facilities. We love the west porthole window, raw timber veneers and large balcony.

3 Keating Avenue, Sorrento

This slice of paradise offers bay views, northern sunlight and its own grenache vines. Recently rebuilt, the house opens to a deck, sunbaking terrace and infinity pool. The family room has a cathedral ceiling, a fireplace and huge windows, while the library is a peaceful retreat. “This is like a miniature rural property in cosmopolitan Sorrento,” the agent says.

9 Belinda Street, Rye

Close to the back beach, this serene retreat fits in perfectly with its native garden. Designed by Larritt-Evans, the new home features a family room that hugs a sunny deck. The wood-burning fireplace, stone-topped kitchen and green views impress. Bonuses include a main suite with bath, and a second living room. “The location is extremely peaceful,” the agent says.

4 Maxela Court, Daylesford

This smartly designed new home channels Scandi influences with meticulously detailed interiors by architect Ben Robertson. The highlight is the dual-level family room with high ceiling, fresh palette and northern orientation. Standouts include a hidden office, a spacious main suite and an outdoor spa – all low-maintenance and tech-savvy. “It’s an easy walk to award-winning culinary establishments,” the agent says.
