The story of 5 Killibury Court begins in the 1960s, when a family purchased a sprawling orchard estate and lovingly transformed it into a hobby farm. By the 1970s, their vision had expanded—they subdivided the land into individual parcels, each allocated to a family member. From this act of foresight, Killibury Court was born, and Number 5 emerged as the crown jewel: a stately residence evoking the grace and charm of an English countryside manor.
Today, this remarkable property stands as a rare time capsule—refined, character-filled, and enhanced with modern luxuries that reflect the essence of a true lifestyle estate. Offered now for the first time since its creation, this exclusive 4,115.7sqm (approx.) property presents an extraordinary opportunity. With generous proportions ideal for a large family, the home offers the potential for personal enhancement to elevate its original charm or the chance to begin anew with a contemporary masterpiece (STCA).
Inside, the residence delights with its soaring ceilings, colonial windows, and elegant imported carpets. Its layout is both grand and functional, featuring a welcoming family room, a billiard room complete with a wet bar, a formal dining room, a cosy sitting room, and a stylishly renovated kitchen that flows into a light-filled meals area. The ground floor also includes a thoughtfully designed laundry with a drying rack and an adjoining sewing room or study, offering flexibility to suit various needs. The home’s five robed bedrooms include a privately positioned ground floor room with its own bathroom—ideal for in-laws or guests—while the upstairs bedrooms are serviced by separate bath, shower, and toilet rooms for family convenience.
The grounds are just as captivating, creating a resort-style atmosphere with a resurfaced tennis court, a solar-heated swimming pool, a large studio, a dressing room with an adjoining bathroom and sauna, a paved alfresco area, firepit, barbeque zone, and sweeping lawns dotted with raised produce beds. The home also includes ducted heating, ducted vacuum, wall air conditioners, a security alarm, abundant storage, workshop space, and a double garage with extensive driveway parking.
Nestled in a prestigious location, the property is only a short stroll from bus stops, local reserves and Serpell Primary School. It also offers convenient access to East Doncaster Secondary College (within zone), Ruffey Lake Park, The Pines Shopping Centre, Templestowe Village, Macedon Plaza, Doncaster Westfield, and EastLink, making it the perfect blend of peaceful living and urban convenience.
