It is almost impossible to find a substantial 4.5-hectare (approx.) lifestyle estate less than 5km from Geelong's vibrant CBD and moments from the Ring Road. Yet, tucked away in one of Fyansford's most tightly held pockets, 65 Lower Paper Mills Road delivers exactly that-the ultimate "city meets country" masterpiece.

Architectural intelligence meets sustainable luxury in this meticulously designed family residence. Completed in 2009, every corner of this elevated home is engineered to capture glorious north and east light, sweeping rural vistas, and passive thermal comfort. From the remote-controlled highlight windows ensuring flawless natural airflow to the total visual privacy from every room, this is a sanctuary of enduring quality.

The Family Domain: A light-filled central hub flowing seamlessly to an expansive elevated deck overlooking native bushland.
The Theatre Room: A gold-class cinematic experience with rich acoustic treatment, Dolby 7.1 surround sound, built-in bar fridge, and custom cabinetry.
