“Ashmount is a remarkable property that spans an impressive 148 acres (approx. 59.89ha) of sweeping landscape and has been held in the same family for over 30 years,” Spencer Luppino told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“It offers a serene escape and includes a 1km stretch of the Barwon River. With its breathtaking surroundings and abundant acreage, Ashmount is the epitome of a countryside retreat within reach of modern conveniences.”
