‘Sunnyhill’ is a lifestyle property that mixes horses, wine, food, architecture and is only an hour's drive from Melbourne.

A family with a keen interest in horses has purchased the picturesque Sunnyhill property in the heart of the Yarra Valley.

The property features state of the art training facilities, agistment opportunities and a ‘Fasham’ designed home. Sunnyhill also has a one bedroom B&B style cottage for weekend visitors or tourism opportunities.

Selling agent Peter Watson from First National Real Estate Neilson Partners - Berwick said because it was such a niche, specific listing it took a while to find the right buyer, but it was worth the wait.

“It took a little bit to get a buyer who appreciated all the facilities that were there but when we locked the sale in we were very happy with the outcome,” he said. “It was sold to a Melbourne family who have an interest in horses.”

The property features stables, a barn, lunging yard and a 60 by 20 metre indoor arena.

The previous owners built the house 10 years ago, while the cottage is the original 100 year old dwelling. The main residence has been designed to be low maintenance, solar passive and eminently liveable. The sundeck has an adjoining naturally filtered plunge/ swimming pool. Fasham is a Melbourne based company specialising in designing and building unique, contemporary homes.
