Timeless Elegance Meets Artistry At Musk Manor

Just six minutes from the heart of Daylesford, in the tightly held and highly sought-after hamlet of Musk, Musk Manor is an extraordinary lifestyle property where timeless country elegance meets the artistry of an internationally admired garden estate.

Set across approximately 2.5 acres of beautifully curated grounds, this remarkable property is a sanctuary of peace, beauty and inspiration. Renowned for hosting garden tours and open garden events and proudly featured on ABC’s Gardening Australia in Spring 2025, Musk Manor is far more than a home-it is a destination garden estate of distinction.

Thoughtfully replanted and reimagined over the past seven years, the gardens unfold as a series of enchanting outdoor rooms, each revealing subtle shifts in colour, texture and form. Mature trees, sculpted hedging, steel-edged garden beds, hellebores and vibrant seasonal plantings in rich yellow, orange, purple and red hues create a landscape that is immersive, tranquil and unforgettable.

Winding pathways, secluded seating areas, a pergola, firepit retreat and expansive lawns invite both quiet reflection and grand entertaining, while the scale of the land offers scope for further enhancement, including a swimming pool or tennis court if desired (STCA).

At its heart, Musk Manor is a gracious and expansive country residence designed for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or a creative retreat. The original century-old cottage blends seamlessly with the newer family home, creating a warm and harmonious fusion of heritage charm and modern comfort.

The main residence is generous in scale, with high ceilings, multiple living zones and beautiful brush box timber flooring adding warmth and refinement. Two kitchens provide exceptional flexibility for entertaining or extended family living, while zoned heating and cooling, reverse-cycle air conditioning and ceiling fans throughout ensure year-round comfort.

Accommodation within the main residence is impressive, with all three bedrooms enjoying the privacy and convenience of their own ensuite. The first-floor primary suite provides a private sanctuary, complete with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the two additional bedrooms each feature their own ensuite-an exceptional configuration for family members and guests alike. An additional powder room further enhances the home’s practicality.

A covered return verandah wraps elegantly around the home, offering sheltered outdoor living spaces that frame uninterrupted views across the gardens and rolling hills beyond-an idyllic setting for morning coffee, long lunches or sunset gatherings.

The separate two-bedroom cottage, complete with original Baltic pine floors, adds another layer of versatility, ideal as guest accommodation, a private retreat, extended family living or potential income generation (STCA).
The property is equally impressive in its infrastructure, with extensive water security via approximately 117,500 litres of storage, bore-fed irrigation and established sprinkler systems. Additional supporting amenities include a barn, machinery shedding, wood and garden sheds, vegetable gardens and a charming artist’s studio.

Securely fenced with post-and-rail, picket and farm fencing, Musk Manor offers privacy and practicality in equal measure, appealing to discerning buyers seeking a prestigious country retreat, creatives in search of inspiration, passionate gardeners, tree-changers and families desiring a rare blend of beauty, flexibility and lifestyle.

Musk Manor is a once-in-a-generation offering, a celebrated country garden estate where beauty, history and lifestyle converge in one exceptional address.
