The Yattalunga property at 214 Stars Gully Rd spans 27.2ha.

Its five-bedroom house takes centre stage.

It has a rustic vibe and wide windows that frame panoramic country views.

The views can be admired from almost every room in the house.

According to property records, it last sold in April 2021 for $1.4 million.

With a recently-built shed and entertainment hub added, selling agent Tim Mcloughlin, of One Agency Property Solutions, said the 27.2ha property was “a rare jewel”.

“It’s a special property, it’s a flagship home in the area. There are just no words for it,” he said.

“It’s going to break records no matter what it sells for.”

“The owners have done heaps of work out there, they’ve spent huge amounts of money, it’s phenomenal.”

The main home spans four levels and has four bedrooms, as well as an office that could double as a fifth bedroom.

The open kitchen and living area is flanked by wide windows, as well as a balcony and veranda, to make the most of the panoramic countryside views.

It also has a one-bedroom cottage.

It also has a rustic, cosy vibe.

The 12-person cinema is a highlight of the property.

As is the gym, which also has views of the surrounding countryside.

“They’ve done tasteful modifications throughout but they haven’t changed the bones of the house,” Mr Mcloughlin said.

Just off the veranda is a pool with heated spa and pool house, which leads to a recently-built shed and additional living area designed for entertainment.

It includes a 12-person home theatre, a large rumpus room, a gym and a glass-fronted garage.

A historic one bedroom gold miner’s cottage further from the main homestead could be a guesthouse or Airbnb.

“The other cottage was fairly rundown when they bought it and they’ve renovated that,” Mr Mcloughlin said.

Other standout features of the property include an American-style barn, a Nissen hut shearing shed, as well as an Olympic-sized horse arena, tack shed, two horse yards with electric fencing and multiple paddocks.

Mr Mcloughlin said there was strong interest in the property, with almost a dozen inspecting it so far.

He said it was always the owners’ intention to stay at the property long-term, which is why they invested so heavily in it, but a change in circumstances had let them to list it.

The property is listed without a price tag.
