Discover a unique 12-acre sanctuary in the heart of Macclesfield — welcome to 'Whispering Gums', a property that masterfully blends rural living with exceptional equestrian infrastructure. Far more than just a home, this is a lifestyle destination ideal for large families, multi-generational living, hobby farmers, and horse lovers alike.
Two Distinct Homes, One Harmonious Estate
At the heart of the property lies the main residence, accessed by a horseshoe driveway. With a double carport, an additional triple-height carport perfect for floats or caravans, and a spacious layout inside, every detail is crafted for ease of living. The open-plan living zone is light filled and anchored by a woodfire heater and a split system for year-round comfort. A generous kitchen with an 8-burner gas cooktop and electric oven caters to the most ambitious of home chefs. Step out to the expansive deck, and you’re greeted with panoramic views of the Warburton Ranges — the ideal spot to entertain, relax, or simply breathe.
With six bedrooms in total — including a private master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite — there’s room for everyone to spread out. Multiple living areas, a cleverly integrated family bathroom/laundry, and direct access to beautifully landscaped gardens and a securely fenced, solar-heated pool round out the home.
The second dwelling is equally impressive, perfect for extended family or guests. Featuring three bedrooms, a light-filled sunroom, well-equipped kitchen, and its own modern comforts including ducted heating, woodfire, and split system, it offers independence without compromise.
Equestrian Excellence Meets Outdoor Leisure
'Whispering Gums' is a dream come true for horse enthusiasts. The property includes:
• A professional-grade 60x30m all-weather floodlit arena
• A round yard and multiple fenced grass holding yards
• 12 paddocks (4 with shelters), all with water access
• A high-quality stable complex with stables, tack and pony rooms, wash bay, and sawdust bay
This is a property built for serious equestrian use — or for those simply enchanted by country living at its best.
Sustainability and Self-Sufficiency
Energy efficiency is built-in, with solar panels on both homes and extensive rainwater storage — approximately 150,000 litres across 7 tanks. The gardens are well established, including a productive orchard, veggie beds, and garden sheds for all your growing needs.
The partially cleared bushland, complete with a natural spring and a dam large enough for canoeing, adds to the charm and versatility of the land.
Creative, Practical & Ready to Inspire
Beyond the homes, you’ll find spaces designed for work, creativity, and play:
• A powered, woodfire-heated studio/games room with rustic brick walls
• A dedicated workshop/garage with concrete floor and roller door
• Electric gated entry with remote and keypad access
• Secure, pet-friendly fencing throughout
'Whispering' Gums isn’t just a property — it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
If you’ve been searching for a place where serenity meets sophistication, and where horses and humans alike thrive in equal measure, this exceptional Macclesfield retreat may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
