The indoor waterfall and cocktail bar at 3239 Epping-Kilmore Rd, Wandong.
A Wandong house featuring a two-storey high indoor waterfall and impressive cocktail bar is ready to welcome a new owner.

Set on 1.22ha, the residence at 3239 Epping-Kilmore Rd has a large entertainers’ area fitted with a fully-equipped wet bar bearing a neon light-up “cocktails” sign, an open fireplace and high timber-lined ceilings.

The house was constructed by its previous owner, builder and architect Rod Williamson, while the current owners moved in about two decades ago.
One of the owners said she and her husband were amazed by the waterfall when they first inspected the property.
“There were lots of wow factors for us, but to walk in to that was pretty special,” she said.
“It goes up to two storeys, from the entrance up to the second level.”
She added that the house’s bar was “as big as the bar down at the local pub”.
“We’ve had some cracker parties there,” she said.
The house was originally built by builder and architect Rod Williamson.
The indoor waterfall welcomes visitors …
… and leads to the bar and entertainers’ area.
Famous Australian musicians including former Chocolate Starfish frontman Adam Thompson and the band’s former guitarist Marcus Kurban have performed at the residence.
Actor, comedian and musician George Kapiniaris, known for The Flying Doctors, Fat Pizza, Underbelly and Acropolis Now, has also performed there.
A quirky inclusion in the home’s entertainers’ area is a bookcase that has been remodelled into a life-size Egyptian sarcophagus that’s used to hold pool cues.
The kitchen, appointed with granite benchtops and a walk-in pantry, is adjacent to the open-plan meals and living area.
The main bedroom includes a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite with a double vanity, corner spa and shower.
A gym with a sauna, study, plus a powder room, laundry, four-car garage and established gardens with a firepit and an outdoor multi-tier waterfall are also on offer.
The house and gardens are accessed by a tree-lined bitumen driveway.
Enjoy a game of pool, watch television or warm yourself by the fire.

The owner said that she and her husband were selling now their children have grown up.
She recalled hosting a laser skirmish party for one of her children’s birthdays.
“We had glow in the dark parties, so we set up a marquee out the back and put all the
those purple lights in there and they all squirted each other with glow paint,” she said.
During their time at the home, they also renovated the bathrooms and installed a glass wall in the study.
Nutrien Harcourts Kilmore director Jeanette Laffan said the craftsmanship in the house was “amazing”.
“You look up at these beautiful timber ceilings, the entertaining area is mind-blowing,” Ms Laffan said.
“Anybody would love it, it’s the absolute ultimate party house with the bar, the beautiful open fireplace and not every house has an indoor waterfall in the entry.”
The main bedroom’s ensuite is appointed with a double vanity, corner spa and large shower.
There’s another waterfall in the garden.

Ms Laffan said the home offered plenty of privacy as well as a location close to the Hume Freeway and Wandong and Heathcote Junction railway stations, for people wanting to travel to Melbourne.
“You can literally walk to the train station and jump on a train into the city and there’s really good school buses and access to good schools,” she said.
“It makes a statement that house, but at the same time it’s also been a really comfortable family home for a long time.”
