'Stonefields’ - A Landmark of Australian Garden Design
Inspect By Private Appointment
Renowned as one of Australia’s most significant private gardens, Stonefields reflects the artistry and vision of internationally acclaimed designer Paul Bangay. Spanning approximately 39 acres between Kyneton, Trentham and Daylesford, the estate captures the essence of luxury country living, surrounded by celebrated wineries, restaurants and picturesque rural landscapes.
Designed to evolve beautifully through the seasons, the property unfolds as a series of interconnected garden rooms, each revealing a new perspective of the valley and demonstrating Bangay’s mastery of scale, proportion, and botanical composition. Every space has been thoughtfully shaped to capture light, texture and movement throughout the year, from the oak-lined avenues and tulip displays in spring to the rich autumn colour and evergreen beauty that defines the winter landscape.
The Tuscan-inspired main residence stands at the heart of the property, its four-bedroom layout extending across two levels and curated in collaboration with the late Stuart Rattle. Interiors showcase a refined yet natural palette of granite and sisal, enhanced by elegant wallpapers and bespoke furnishings that reflect an international, timeless aesthetic. A vast 10x10m sitting area with a 2m-wide stone fireplace serves as a focal point for relaxation and entertaining, flowing into the dining room and gourmet kitchen, which is appointed with Belgian slate benchtops, dual Miele dishwashers, and a La Canche oven. A superb flower room extends from here, ideal for preparation or catering when hosting. It flows into the herb garden, reinforcing the connection between house and garden. The solar-heated lap pool aligns with the northern axis, offering a view of the valley from the deep, grape-lined terraces, easily seating 20, or more guests.
Beyond the main residence, an independent gatehouse offers excellent flexibility for guest accommodation, private studios or creative use, with infrastructure including comprehensive zoned irrigation systems, two bores, two large dams and more than 250,000 litres of water storage. Additional highlights include Starlink connectivity, monitored alarm security, automatic gates and a powered storage shed. Located just over an hour from Melbourne, Stonefields is a living work of art, profoundly beautiful and attuned to the finest in rural living.
