The Lockwood South estate at 13 Hamilton Way comes with a vineyard, indoor pool, tennis court and luxury entertaining spaces.
A Lockwood South estate with an indoor saltwater pool, championship tennis court and its own mini vineyard has hit the market, delivering what agents describe as “country resort-style living at its best.”
The four-bedroom property at 13 Hamilton Way is expected to fetch between $1.8m and $1.95m is offering buyers a tree-change lifestyle just 15 minutes from Bendigo.
Set on 2.8ha, the custom-built home combines rural tranquillity with indulgent extras rarely found outside Melbourne’s prestige belt.
Wide verandas wrap around the residence, opening to a sprawling family zone, entertainer’s kitchen with stone benchtops and butler’s pantry, and multiple dining and living spaces.

But it’s the lifestyle amenities beyond the back door that agents say are capturing buyers’ attention.
Jellis Craig Central Victoria director Leah Panos said there was no single “wow factor” because the property offered so many.
“For families, the tennis court and pool go hand-in-hand as an unbeatable lifestyle combo,” Ms Panos said.
“For more mature buyers, the vineyard and how beautifully the land is set up tends to capture their imagination. It really is country resort-style living at its best.”
The dining area flows seamlessly to outdoor entertaining, with views across landscaped gardens.
Light-filled family living with wide veranda access and feature windows.
The vineyard spans about 500 metres of Yalumba merlot and chardonnay vines, complete with a press to make wine at home or supply a local vintner.
A pavilion with open fireplace and wine cellar provides the perfect venue for summer evenings or long lunches.
“The entertainment offering is spectacular,” Ms Panos said.
“Imagine summer evenings in the pavilion with the fire going, or heading down to the cellar stocked with grapes grown onsite.
“It’s a complete vineyard-to-table experience.”
The entertainer’s kitchen boasts stone benchtops, butler’s pantry and premium appliances.
A massive shed doubles as the ultimate man cave and storage hub.
Adding to the appeal is a year-round heated indoor pool and spa, accessed directly from the main living area.
“The all-seasons factor is everything,” Ms Panos said.
“It’s saltwater, it’s heated, and it’s indoors — so whether you’re after daily exercise or simply indulgent relaxation, you’ve got it on your doorstep. No need to drive into Bendigo.
That’s a lifestyle advantage most people only dream about.”
The estate also carries eco-friendly credentials.
The cellar is stocked with grapes grown onsite in the property’s vineyard.
A championship-size tennis court forms part of the resort-style lifestyle.
Alongside a solar array and landscaped gardens, it boasts a bore and desalination system that irrigates paddocks, fruit trees, vegetables and vines.
“This property is highly self-sufficient, not completely off-grid, but very close,” Ms Panos said.
“You can grow your own produce, enjoy the vineyard, and there’s an abundance of water management systems in place. It’s practically a private estate of abundance.”
The grounds feature a lined dam with water diversion channels, a fernery, chicken coop and vegetable gardens, plus shedding, a guest studio and a paddock suited to boutique livestock.
The estate spans more than 7 acres with gardens, dam and vines.
A heated indoor saltwater pool and spa ensures year-round enjoyment.
Ms Panos said homes offering the full package were “almost unheard of” in Central Victoria.
“You’ll see properties with elements — maybe a pool, or some vines, or big shedding,” she said.
“But to have it all together — indoor pool and spa, vineyards, gardens, dams and infrastructure — that’s what makes this one a once-in-a-generation lifestyle estate.”
While suited to multiple buyer types, Ms Panos expects strong family interest.
Gloss cabinetry and sweeping benches deliver a bold black-and-white statement.
A dedicated home office with built-in shelving offers flexibility as a fourth bedroom.
“The current owners are a mature couple with grown kids and grandkids, and they’ve set it up with that extended family lifestyle in mind,” she said.
“But for families, it’s a dream — the kind of home where every generation has their own piece of paradise.”
Ms Panos said early inquiry had been strong in the opening days of the campaign.
“The response has been excellent,” she said.
“Buyers recognise this is a once-in-a-lifetime lifestyle property.”
