Farm / Acreage
Steel & Oak
Gruyere, VIC, Australia
The Space
Sixty acres of rolling Yarra Valley land, set atop a hill with expansive views across the valley floor and out to the Dandenong Ranges. Steel & Oak is a modern architectural farmhouse that earns its name; black steel structures, natural timber ceilings, stone chimneys and oak lined driveways define a property where every material decision has been considered and every view has been composed.
The main residence is generous and refined. An open plan living, dining and kitchen space opens directly onto a large outdoor entertaining area with steel arbor, spa and lap pool, with the indoor and outdoor zones dissolving into each other across full height glazing. Inside, a floor to ceiling stone fireplace anchors the living room, raw granite stacked to the ceiling, set against linen curtains and a deep sectional sofa that reads beautifully on camera in any season. Furnishings are by Living Divani, Jardan, Daniel Barbera and BnB Italia, with original artwork throughout by Jasper Night, Michael Zavros, Matthew Johnson and Adam Cullen. Four large bedrooms with designer ensuites and robes, a study and library round out the interior.
The grounds extend the shooting range considerably. Black post and rail fencing runs across the paddocks, a European treed woodland sits within the property boundary, and oak and gum lined driveways give aerial and ground level shots strong compositional structure. Dams and waterways add further landscape variety, while the architecturally designed equine facilities; black steel barns, European style stable fit outs, arenas, paddocks and shelters, offer a working rural environment with the same considered aesthetic as the house.
A property that operates at the intersection of luxury residential and working rural — with the scale, design pedigree and landscape range to support productions of serious ambition.
