Tucked between rolling pastures at 626 Croobyar Road is one of the most beautiful lifestyle properties in the region.
Located just west of Milton, Croobyar Creek Estate sprawls across 163 acres of fertile farmland. Currently used to run cattle and sheep, it’s an unmatched escape from city and suburbia.
The estate hosts an elegant three-storey home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus an off-grid studio, plenty of garage and workshop space, extensive farming infrastructure, and much, much more.
The home paints a stunning picture for guests as they wind down the classic post-and-rail-lined driveway.
Manicured gardens with mature hedging and lush lawns give off an air of sophistication, but once indoors, it’s all about comfort. Vaulted ceilings and thoughtfully placed windows capture the sun to illuminate vibrant red gum floors underfoot.
“This is a really classy home, built around 2012,” Ben Pryde from Raine & Horne Mollymook Milton says.
“The main living area is warm and welcoming, with a contemporary edge thanks to the three-storey void above. The lounge space is centred around a slow-combustion fireplace with gorgeous bluestone surrounds.
“Sweeping views stretch across the countryside towards the pristine waters of Croobyar Creek beyond.”
Home chefs will be wowed by the classic country kitchen, which is equipped with marble benchtops, a charming breakfast bar, a farmhouse sink, and a Falcon 5-burner stove.
The formal dining room blends seamlessly with outdoor entertainment and offers internal access to a generous laundry/mud room.
There’s also a family room, which Ben says could easily serve as a fifth bedroom.
Croobyar Creek Estate’s master suite is ultra-stylish, but functional too. Serene and spacious, it’s equipped with French doors that open to the alfresco, a walk-in closet, and built-in robes.
The luxurious ensuite is complete with travertine tiles, underfloor heating, and heated towel rails.
Upstairs are three more generous bedrooms, which share a family bathroom with a separate toilet, plus a dedicated library and home office space.
One more level brings guests to the third-floor loft. This versatile space hosts the best view on the property and is ready to be transformed into whatever the heart desires.
Croobyar Creek Estate has the avid entertainer more than catered for, thanks to a covered alfresco with its own pizza oven, fire pit and swim spa.
“It’s easy to imagine watching the sun rise over the pastures or relaxing in the spa under the stars,” Ben says.
“Creatives will also be thrilled by the off-grid studio. It’s wonderfully private and fitted out with ducted air-conditioning, a timber deck, and a hot/cold outdoor shower.”
For those drawn to the land, Croobyar Creek Estate is ready for action.
Divided into nine secure paddocks, the property is currently home to about 60 cattle and 20 sheep. Eleven dams and seven filtered rainwater tanks (ranging from 5000 to 275,000 litres) mean new owners will enjoy fantastic water resilience year-round.
Green thumbs have established rose and veggie gardens to look forward to, along with olive, apple, pear, fig, mulberry, and macadamia trees.
The property’s namesake also serves as its longest boundary. Dotted with swimming holes, fishing hideaways and more picnic spots than you could shake a stick at, Croobyar Creek provides a stunning backdrop for all kinds of outdoor activity.
Three large machinery sheds are included in the sale, one equipped with mezzanine storage and an office space, and another with its own cool room and lock-up storage.
Other features include six beehives, two mobile fire units, a 12-camera CCTV system, a solar power system with battery storage, and cattle yards, crush and scales.
One of the greatest drawcards to Croobyar Creek Estate is its location. Seven minutes down the road is the coastal town of Milton, with its quaint cafés, galleries and easy essentials. Mollymook Beach’s enviable scenery and sought-after surf are just a few kilometres further.
Ben dubs the property a once-in-a-generation opportunity.
“Croobyar Creek Estate gives you both reach and retreat,” he says.
“Whether you’re looking for a productive farmstead, luxury retreat, or somewhere warm and welcoming to raise the kids, this property is sure to impress.”
626 Croobyar Road is priced by negotiation. For more information or to book an inspection, contact Ben Pryde on 0410 324 209.
