Warrandyte South dream home poised to smash suburb record
A “once in a lifetime” Warrandyte South property with an infinity pool and Olympic-size equestrian facilities is poised to break the suburb’s house price record after being listed for $8m-plus.
The sprawling 1 Hillcrest Rd is on offer for the first time since it was built 35 years ago and is comprised of six bedrooms, five bathrooms, an infinity pool, manicured gardens, an Olympic-sized horse arena, stables, six paddocks and a tennis court.

Set on 4.05ha, the hilltop home has an $8.5m-$9.35m price guide.
If sold anywhere near that range, it will become the suburb’s most expensive recorded sale, easily surpassing 6 Green Ridge’s $5.6m sale in 2016.
Hoskins Maroondah agent David Alvares described the dream home was a “landmark property”.
“It’s like a private oasis,” Mr Alvares said.
“The views from all parts of the property are simply breathtaking. You can see the tops of the city and there’s expansive views of rolling green hills and the natural bush setting. But it’s extremely private, you don’t see your neighbours.”
Mr Alvares said the gardens were “second to none” and the separate parents and children's quarters made it ideal for growing or intergenerational families.
He said the vendors were looking to downsize after raising their family at the property, including two daughters who had been competitive horse riders.
“Everyone in the family has enjoyed the home and it’s been very tightly held for 35 years,” Mr Alvares said.
“They’ve had 18ths, 21sts, and now they have grandchildren who have had birthdays at the home. It’s never been offered to the market before; it’s a once in a lifetime offering.”
The agent said the house was close to elite local private schools, EastLink, Eastland and within striking distance of the CBD.
“It’s hard to find something so close to town that feels away from the rest of the world,” he said.
The property is to be sold via an expressions of interest campaign.
