Some rural properties, by their nature, require owners to be farmers. Others are orientated exclusively to lifestyle. ORANA achieves the ideal – allowing for either or both these objectives to be met beautifully.

185 acres of exceptionally high yielding, heavy carrying pasture featuring extensive Goulburn River frontage and 54megalitre water entitlement promise reliable agricultural returns from either cattle raising or crop production perspectives. Significant improvements, including solar pump supplied troughs, machinery shed, hay shed and upgraded stockyards ensure straightforward management of a consistently productive property.

The four bedroom plus study residence, architect designed c2007 by Ross MacKinnon of MKD, applies a contemporary consciousness to farmhouse traditions – with stunning results. Living, dining and entertaining areas that render the indoor-outdoor divide redundant surround an expansive kitchen appointed with Stone Italia benchtops and European appliances and appreciate panoramic views across the paddocks north to the Goulburn River valley and the Switzerland Ranges.

Energy efficient, featuring recycled timber, stone and galvanized iron construction, hydronic under-floor heating, reverse cycle cooling and double glazing, the homestead’s separate studio, triple garage and wine room lead a long list of extra attractions against the backdrop of a superb native garden, raised vegetable beds yielding abundant organic vegetables and espaliered orchard of 14 fruit and 4 olive varieties.

5 minutes outside Yea township, approximately 1.5 hours from Melbourne – but in a world of its own.
