23 Centenary Avenue · Macedon, Victoria

Centenary 23

A private country retreat shaped for family, entertaining and the quiet character of Macedon.

A modern Macedon retreat

Space to live.
Not land to labour over.

Centenary 23 brings together the privacy and tranquillity people seek in the Macedon Ranges with a scale designed to be enjoyed rather than constantly maintained.

Across approximately 2,022m², the custom-built residence, established trees, pool, courtyard and entertaining spaces create the feeling of a private estate while remaining practical for everyday family life.

Made for gathering

Where inside and outside become one.

The heart of the home is designed around connection — to family, to friends and to the landscape outside.

Vaulted ceilings and expansive glazing bring light and greenery deep into the living spaces. Fully retractable corner stacker doors open dining and living to the covered alfresco, allowing a family dinner to become a long summer evening without ever feeling like you have left the heart of the home.

Covered alfresco dining overlooking the grounds

Family. Friends. Time.

Built around the moments that matter.

Long lunches under cover. Children moving between the house, lawn and pool. Winter evenings around the fire pit. Quiet mornings looking into the courtyard. The architecture gives everyday family life room to breathe.

“A home made for quiet mornings, long lunches and family gatherings.”

The home today

Luxury that lives quietly.

The quality reveals itself in the details: Calacatta marble, Italian tiles, brushed brass fittings, plantation shutters, wool carpet, Smeg appliances and carefully resolved bathrooms — supported by technology designed for modern all-electric living.

Considered for everyday life

A substantial home with a lighter footprint.

The grounds

Private enough to escape.
Manageable enough to enjoy.

Mature trees give Centenary 23 the sense of retreat expected of Macedon, while lawns, landscaped courtyards and the pool remain deliberately usable. It is an alternative to extensive acreage: enough land to create privacy and a genuine country atmosphere without giving every weekend back to maintenance.

Beneath a mature blue gum, the fire-pit setting creates another room outdoors — a place for conversation, marshmallows and unhurried evenings.

A generous front lawn framed by established Macedon trees — open enough for family life, yet intentionally manageable.

The property story

Not a house placed in Macedon.
A home shaped by it.

Before Centenary 23, a century-old cottage stood among the mature trees of this property and survived the Black Friday bushfires. The new home became the next chapter — designed around the established landscape, family life and the character of Centenary Avenue.

What exists today is the result of years of design decisions, construction, craftsmanship, landscaping and coordination. For its next owner, that journey is complete: the privacy, mature setting and finished residence are ready to be enjoyed from day one.

From ground to home

A transformation measured in years, not weeks.

A selected record of the build shows the scale of what sits behind the finished home — from the original cottage and site works to framing, enclosure, joinery and the final residence.

Site works beginning at Centenary 23 — The site is prepared

Slab and early construction — The new footprint emerges

Timber framing during construction — Structure takes shape

Roof and external framing under construction — Architecture becomes visible

Residence under construction with family in foreground — Built around family life

Exterior cladding nearing completion — The residence is enclosed

Kitchen joinery being installed — The interior character arrives

Wrought iron entrance doors during construction — Details chosen to endure

Kitchen stone and cabinetry nearing completion — Finishes come together

Front of residence nearing completion — The final form

Completed residence and landscaped arrival — Today — ready to enjoy

Recreating this outcome now would mean finding the right Macedon setting, designing and approving the home, managing the build and then establishing the grounds. Centenary 23 offers the finished result — without asking its next family to spend years creating it.

The Macedon setting

A country address with Melbourne still within reach.

Centenary Avenue captures much of what makes Macedon distinctive: established trees, changing seasons, privacy and a strong sense of neighbourhood.

Macedon village, cafés, the primary school and V/Line station are close by, with Calder Freeway access connecting the home back toward Melbourne. The Avenue of Honour, Mount Macedon, Hanging Rock and the wider Macedon Ranges become part of everyday life rather than a weekend destination.
