A Refined Lifestyle Property with Designer Gardens and Sweeping Rural Outlook
Positioned within one of Gisborne's most tightly held lifestyle enclaves, 157 Panorama Drive presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a refined country residence on approximately 5,554sqm of beautifully curated grounds, where architecture and landscape exist in complete harmony with the surrounding environment.
A tree-lined driveway creates a striking sense of arrival, leading to a thoughtfully designed four-bedroom home that immediately feels calm, private, and connected to nature. Double entry doors open into a welcoming central hall that flows effortlessly through to a series of elegant living spaces, each framed by garden outlooks and natural light.
At the heart of the home, a generous lounge with a premium Alberni wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and inviting gathering space, while a separate sitting room and adjoining library with a gas fireplace offer quieter moments overlooking the established gardens. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with stone benchtops, quality appliances, and a walk-in pantry, perfectly positioned to capture beautiful views of Mount Macedon and the surrounding landscape. A light-filled dining area extends naturally into the sunroom, enhancing the home's seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
Comfort and functionality have been carefully considered throughout, with multiple living zones, split systems heating and cooling, and carefully designed interiors that balance warmth with understated elegance. Bedrooms are generously proportioned with soft wool carpets underfoot, all featuring built-in robes, while the master suite is complemented by a walk-in robe. Bathrooms are finished with full-height tiling, frameless glass showers, freestanding bath in the main bathroom, and quality Brodware tapware throughout.
A separate studio adds further versatility to the property, ideal as a guest retreat, home office, or creative workspace. Complete with its own toilet and sliding doors opening to the outdoors, the space feels peaceful, private, and immersed within the beautifully established setting.
The landscape design is undoubtedly one of the property's defining features. Designed by award-winning landscape designer Kathleen Murphy and recognised by The Design Files 2020 Landscape Design Award Winner, the gardens have been thoughtfully composed to feel both immersive and deeply connected to the wider landscape. Meandering pathways lead through established plantings to a picturesque billabong, creating a tranquil focal point within the garden and attracting abundant birdlife and seasonal beauty.
Productive garden spaces include raised vegetable gardens, a potting shed, and dedicated wood storage, all thoughtfully integrated behind feature stone walls. An outdoor pergola, designed by a local artist, provides a beautiful setting for entertaining and long outdoor lunches surrounded by nature. Despite the scale and richness of the landscape, the grounds have been designed for relatively low-maintenance living.
Additional features include a large double garage, separate carport, solar panels, and quality infrastructure that supports comfortable modern living while embracing a slower, more grounded lifestyle.
Located just minutes from the heart of Gisborne's cafés, schools, and everyday amenities within the Macedon Ranges, this is a rare lifestyle property offering privacy, beauty, and thoughtful design in one of the region's most desirable settings.
