"Camalot" c1866
Owning a place in Australians' hearts as 'the house that Scotty Cam built', Camalot c1866, now offered to the market in all its restored glory, is truly an opportunity of a lifetime. Set on approximately 10 acres with exquisite landscaping and multiple outbuildings, including the nation's first 3D-printed building, this enchanting property delivers luxury country living on an entirely new level.
Camalot stood as the very first homestead on the street, owned by Joseph McGeorge of whom the road was named, and has now been expertly extended by the team and Nine in Six Builders into an indulgent retreat of pure respite and leisure. Memorable from the very first glance, the fountain and round-drive entrance sets the tone for what's to come, opening via a wide, wrap-around verandah into a truly remarkable five-bedroom, four-bathroom home.
Baltic Pine floors and sympathetic period features create an instant warmth, highlighted by high ceilings and French doors extending from every room to the great outdoors. Through an idyllic breezeway, the extension perfectly blends old with the new, with herringbone brick floors leading to the grand open-plan living and dining areas where a central roaring fireplace forms an unbeatable ambience. A custom Christian Cole reclaimed timber island bench and butcher's block sits centre stage to the gourmet, farmhouse kitchen, hosting a suite of AEG appliances, two Vintec wine fridges and a large butler's pantry. Inviting indoor-outdoor living, it allows seamless catering access with servery windows connecting to the undercover alfresco, supplementing the entertainer's aspect with a landscaped outdoor kitchen zone, complete with a pizza oven.
Outside, the extraordinary surroundings include the home office/studio with a built-in workstation adjoining the state-of-the-art custom-engineered garage, with a five-bay remote door entrance and a workshop with Southern Cross skylights. The 3D-printed concrete pool cabana with bathroom, kitchenette and 360-degree fireplace sits perfectly by the shimmery tiled pool and built-in spa, framing the Mount Macedon views through centuries-old Oak and Moreton Bay Figs trees. The perfect marriage of historic country living and modern-day sustainability, this 7-star energy efficient home boasts a 50kw solar farm with battery storage and generator, 250 litres of water storage, bore water, triple glazing, reverse cycle ducted heating and cooling, underfloor bathroom heating, Velux skylights, a laundry/mudroom, alarm system and remote automatic entrance gates.
A true sanctuary that equally embraces functionality and aesthetic appeal, this is truly an opportunity of a lifetime - Camalot has it all. There's also an opportunity to buy the last remaining 11-acre vacant allotment at 189 McGeorge Road, Gisborne to maximise your investment or further your dream in this exclusive location.
