80 Bourchiers Rd, Kangaroo Ground, can change its mood throughout the day.

A sprawling Kangaroo Ground property on the banks of the Yarra River changes its “mood” throughout the day and could smash the local price record.

The 80 Bourchiers Rd property’s main residence is set at the end of a winding driveway amid 8.09ha of landscaped gardens, horse paddocks and impressive views.

Barry Plant Doncaster East managing director Spiro Drossos said the “majestic” property known as Yarraman Retreat had reinvented the status quo for the area since being completed in 2018.

“It’s very much the luxury modern country estate,” Mr Drossos said.

“One of the keys to the appeal is the home sits right at the crest of the block. You get this amazing 360-degree view right around the property and beyond.”

He added that the property had different “moods” across the day, often starting the day with mist rising from the Yarra River at the base of the block and ending it in the golden glow of sunset.

Despite its elevation, the home is set back far enough from the road that it is remains private.

Open-plan living spaces inside the home are kept cosy with wood-burning fireplaces.

“It feels like your own private retreat,” Mr Drossos said.

Open-plan living spaces and a kitchen with stone benchtops and a butler’s pantry are set between a north-facing veranda and an al fresco, making the most of the home’s expansive views.

The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite and is zoned with a sitting room, two more bedrooms a bathroom, laundry and a study at the eastern end of the house.

The west wing houses a further lounge room and a guest bedroom with an ensuite.

A second building on the 8.09ha block hosts a garage, workshop, storage space and a studio or office with a bathroom.

The kitchen’s dark timber joinery and polished stone surfaces provide an eye-catching backdrop to inspire home chefs.

Other spaces around the house take aesthetics equally as seriously.

“Or that secondary dwelling could be done up as a yoga suite for someone that is into wellness,” Mr Drossos said.

While most prospective buyers to date had been local families and those from the inner suburbs looking for a weekender, Mr Drossos said he’d also fielded calls from interested parties as far away as South Australia and NSW.

The $5.7m-$6.27m property is for sale via private treaty and would set a new benchmark for the suburb with a sale anywhere in the range.

The walk-in wardrobe for the main bedroom provides extensive sartorial space.

Impressive views are on display throughout the house.
