A country Victoria property complete with what was a Philip Cox-designed home, has hit the market.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-cropping-vic-kilmore-7959182" target="_blank">1995-built Kilmore home</a>, set 60 kilometres north of Melbourne, has only had two owners.
It has been listed by the relocating Exell family, who refurbished the homestead since paying $1.05 million in 2004.
Cox designed the home property as a personal friend of the previous owners, the Holdaway family.

The eight bedroom, 540 sqm home features a distinctive Colorbond steel roof and is timber framed with western red cedar cladding.
The design brief was of an Australian farmhouse style homestead that comprises a series of three pods, all interlinked by circulation and flow areas.
Pat Rice Hawkins agent Bart O'Sullivan has the listing.

Piper View, a quality lifestyle or permanent residence property is for sale through the Kilmore office of Ruralco Property.
It is so named as it has an outstanding outlook to the east that takes in uninterrupted views to the distant extinct volcano landmark of Mount Piper.
Located at 4 Kurkurac Court at High Camp the property is in a rural environment only twelve kilometres to the north of Kilmore township, with access by the Northern Highway and Moranding Road.
Piper View offers a land area of 24.9 hectares, or 61.5 acres, and has undergone substantial and professional development by the vendors since the property was first purchased by them as a bare block, one of three of roughly similar size served by a no through private estate type road.
Listed for sale with offers sought in the $880,000 to $920,000 range the vendors says they have enjoyed the property immensely but after some health issues have intervened recently they have reluctantly decided to sell to return to City living.
A key feature of Piper View is the large brick homestead comprising four bedrooms, two bathrooms (one being an ensuite, the second a large family bathroom) which they had built in 2004 by one of Australia’s leading residential builders.
With an area under roof of thirty one squares, the home includes a large formal lounge, a well serviced all electric kitchen with a combined dining and family living area.
There is a two-car garage under the roof line while double glazing has been used throughout increasing the energy efficiency of the home whose services include an open fire, wall heaters and reverse cycle air-conditioning systems that services two bedrooms
Other physical features include two water tanks each of 25,000 litres capacity to harvest rainwater plus another of identical size adjacent to a nine by five metre steel framed and concrete floored workshop or machinery shed with two roller doors for access.
Both structures are set in established gardens inclusive of plantings of eighteen olive trees, eighteen citrus and nineteen other fruit trees, ten muscatel grape vines, another twenty ornamental trees, plus 100 rose bushes with another 500 native trees dispersed around the holding.
There is also a large seasonal vegetable garden ideal for home-grown produce.
With one paddock dam and a tank fed trough, the vendors have run up to 25 cattle and 50 sheep.
The property has a long exposure of over four hundred and fifty metres to Kurkurac Creek along its southern boundary.
Ruralco Property’s selling agent Kilmore office based Jeanette Laffan says that “the vendors have invested untold time and a passion for gardening to advance the property to a very high standard, with the home being a particular delight”.

Holten at Kilmore has been listed for auction by Ruralco Property’s local office who expect it to attract local, interstate and even international buyer interest.
The land area of 130 hectares is of productive soils.
It has enabled the vendors to run an average of 40 cows and their calves plus additional replacement heifers over the last seven years.
The 480 O’Grady’s Road property comes with a five-bedroom plus study architect designed.
Then grandly proportioned homestead comes with rendered brick veneer in a Tuscan style.
There is also the inherent future development potential as possible five acre or similar sized small holding and lifestyle subdivisions with quality homes that are already against the southern boundary of this holding.
The vendor says he bought the property with his wife in 2008 to pursue a farming interest as it was within a thirty-minute commute to Melbourne’s northern suburbs down the multi lane Hume Freeway.
But he says that reaching retirement age, having sold his professional practice, and seeing evidence that his physical energy resources are fading, the time has come to downsize.
“Owning and developing Holten, named in honour of my father, has been a great experience but we both feel that downsizing will be right course for the future.
“The next owner should be in a prime position to capitalise on the prospect to subdivide and develop this holding into smaller lifestyle lots which has been happening around us for some years.
He adds “one of the keys here is the location midway between the Kilmore East and Wandong railway stations which are already used by a growing number of city commuters each day, together with the Hume Freeway access to the northern suburbs”.
Adjoining the house is a tiled in ground solar heated swimming pool together with a Plexipave full sized tennis court.
There are seven catchment dams, Broadhurst Creek adjacent to the southern boundary and two annual creeks traversing the Holten property in a 650 mm plus annual rainfall average.
Ruralco Property Kilmore’s selling agent Jeanette Laffan says the expected price estimate for Holten is $2.75 million to $3 million.
