An entertainer’s paradise awaits a new owner at 11 Brodrick Rd, Macclesfield.
A resort-style house in Melbourne’s east featuring a bookshelf that conceals a secret passageway is ready to start a new chapter.
Set on 8.09ha, the residence at 11 Brodrick Rd, Macclesfield, in the Yarra Ranges municipality is for sale with $2.25m-$2.45m price hopes.
Aside from its hidden corridor, the property has extensive equestrian facilities, a pool, sauna, bar, games room and home cinema.

Ranges First National Real Estate Belgrave and Cockatoo director Mick Dolphin said the house’s study, with a leather-inlaid jarrah desk, doubled as a library.
“In the book case, there’s a secret cupboard you can open that goes to another part of the house – it’s very cool,” Mr Dolphin said.
“The home theatre room is pretty special as well and the decks with spectacular view.”
The four-bedroom abode’s lower level features an entertaining area including the built-in bar, a dishwasher, games room and cinema.
Guests can settle into the 10 club-style recliner chairs to watch a film, below the ceiling lights that resemble stars in the night sky.
“You could entertain 200 people at the property if you really wanted to, there are so many great options with space galore and it’s like living at your own retreat,” Mr Dolphin said.
The pool is located next to one of the undercover entertainer’s areas.
The home cinema features 10 chairs and soundproofed walls.
A secret passageway is concealed behind a bookshelf in the study and library.
Outdoors, the undercover deck with automated blinds, provides access to the pool, a change room, toilet, outdoor shower and separate sauna.
There’s also an entertainer’s area with a barbecue and sink, and a firepit surrounded by seating and sandstone paving.
“It’s like a resort and it is really private as well,” Mr Dolphin said.
Indoors, the jarrah-fitted kitchen has Glem double ovens, Miele induction cook tops and Caesarstone bench tops.
Out of the multiple living spaces, one has a feature wall built from locally-sourced stone and a new wood heater.
The views include rolling hills and greenery.
Imagine entertaining friends and family with this set-up.
There’s a four-drawer stainless-steel pull-out pantry system, Miele stainless-steel dishwasher, stainless steel downlights and a stainless-steel wine rack above the fridge, in the kitchen.
The main bedroom boasts a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.
Mr Dolphin said the home’s previous owners added the horseriding infrastructure such as the arena with a viewing platform, stables and a shed to store tractors and hay in.
The 10 paddocks are all watered from a spring-fed dam.
“I think the property would be ideal for a family with slightly older kids who are into horses,” Mr Dolphin said.

There’s three sealed driveways, a three-car garage, large workshop, a solar set-up, generator, two dams and a billabong on the site too.
A 94,000L rainwater tank services the house while there’s two 25,000L tanks for the pool, shed and horse wash.
“It could be a great self-sustaining property thanks to the solar, generator and watertanks,” Mr Dolphin said.
“A great off-the-grid lifestyle could be set-up there.”
