Positioned in the heart of the Peninsula's wine country, just over an hour from Melbourne, Orchard Keepers is a stylish and sustainable property on 10.15 acre (approx.) with working truffle farm.

Visually arresting from every aspect, yet unpretentious in its elevated execution, the property was designed by acclaimed architect Clare Cousins, balancing raw and refined with warm minimalism.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Clare Cousins said, “With such a rich landscape, our intention was to keep the building’s form simple and respectful of its context. Once within, the spaces open generously to the surrounds whilst maintaining the warm intimacy expected of a farmhouse.”

“The home has been designed around the property’s hero the grand sequoia tree,” Madeline Kennedy told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND. 

“The design and aesthetic are functional, organic, warm, sophisticated and cosy. The outlook is gorgeous throughout each window and every season. The property is understated upon arrival, yet absolutely beautiful upon entry. The blend of old and new is effortless.”

A stunning configuration has been designed to integrate with the original residence and worker's cottage that surrounds the 72-year-old Sequoia Redwood, stretching out to take in hinterland panoramas from its extensive picture windows. 

Natural finishes create a refined and unique residence, with high-pitched Spotted Gum ceilings and bespoke walls, hydronic-heated concrete floors and a hand-built artisan circular brick chimney and fireplace accentuating the comforting minimalist style of the main living domain.

A host of integrated Fisher & Paykel appliances cater for events and relaxed family dining, complementing the entertainer's deck where a rustic meal with friends is enjoyed under the shade of the grand Sequoia.

A second living zone in the original wing of the home enjoys a more traditional aesthetic with the same relaxed ambience, edged by two guest bedrooms, each equipped with its own ensuite. The home’s refined materiality is further reflected in the main suite through Spotted Gum, with full-width robes leading to an opulent ensuite with a Concrete Collective pendant bath and twin vanities.

A working 2-acre (approx.) truffière with 375 French Oak trees is flanked by a loft-style barn with an upstairs office/living space, storage garage and commercial kitchen provisions, complemented by separate driveway access and 115,000L of total water storage. 

A self-contained guest home, “the Workers Cottage”, a double garage, a machinery shed, a dam, and a kitchen garden add polish to an all-encompassing lifestyle experience only moments from Red Hill Village.
