01 A NEIGHBOURLY LOCALE

Beaconsfield is a real neighbourhood. It’s the kind of place where neighbours leave fresh eggs on your doorstep. It’s the kind of place where lost wallets get returned and there’s always a familiar face on your morning jog. It’s the kind of place kids come back to, long after they’ve flown the nest.

Wilson Botanic Garden, 11 minutes

02 AN ELEGANT CANVAS

An unparalleled collection of blocks, ranging in size and aspect. Here you have an idyllic canvas that is yours to create a place you’ll be proud to come home to every day. Witness the sun’s first curl over the horizon while you sit on your front steps, coffee in hand. Or, enjoy the last moments of light, standing at your island bench — made for Ottolenghi-like prep. Don’t forget the backyard, big enough for the generation who are yet to be. Imagine.

03 A BIOPHILIC OUTLOOK

Unimposing and perfect for Melbourne’s seasonal climate, Acre Ridge is a testament to thoughtful planning and harmonious design. A golden canopy that sheds in autumn provides a picturesque scene, while the new bloom in spring brings a fresh burst of life. The unique location of Acre Ridge will be further enhanced by future upgrades to May Road, offering the grand entrance Acre Ridge deserves, one that complements the already beautifully tree-lined street.

04 AN ESTABLISHED COMMUNITY

Spend your weekends on the green at Montuna Golf Club or enjoy stone-baked sourdough and Single Origin pour over after your morning walk. O.My is the epitome of fine food and a local must for any discerning foodie. At Grains and Greens you will find local produce, the best scramble and coffee equal to any CBD establishment — it’s a place where they know you by name and Nawlee the owner never forgets an order.

Greens and Grains Cafe, 4 minutes

05THEN AND NOW

An inspired past beckons, starting out as a thoroughbred stud farm, to breeding award-winning show jumping horses to a productive apiary site for honey producer 5 Fat Bees. All testament to the natural environment, neighbouring forest, and surrounding gardens for people, nature, and animals to flourish then and now.
