‘Springbank’: A Master-Built Mediterranean Sanctuary Overlooking the Tarwin Valley

In a marketplace often dominated by traditional colonial homesteads, ‘Springbank’ stands as a striking testament to architectural vision, sustainable living, and Mediterranean-inspired elegance. Situated on approximately 5 acres of prime South Gippsland soil, this exceptional residence offers a lifestyle of profound tranquillity and self-sufficiency. Located at 30 Omalleys Rd, Mardan, the property captures the essence of the ultimate tree change, combining high-end craftsmanship with the raw beauty of the Australian landscape.

From the moment you approach the property, the aesthetic distinction is immediate. The residence was designed and constructed by a master builder who prioritized environmental harmony and visual impact. The home is perfectly oriented to embrace sweeping, uninterrupted views across the rolling greens of the Tarwin Valley toward the distant, majestic Hoddle Range. This vista serves as a living mural, a dynamic backdrop that shifts with the light of the day and the turning of the seasons.

Arrival at the home is an experience in itself. Guests are greeted by an imposing, bespoke Cherry Oak entrance door that signals the quality found within. This opens into a welcoming entry where the interior creates a sense of volume and warmth, defined by soaring high ceilings and striking Peppermint Gum flooring. This rare timber choice anchors the living spaces with natural character and rich hues. The home employs passive solar design principles supported by double glazed windows, a solar power system, and split system air conditioning. Solid fuel heating provides a cosy ambiance during the cooler months while incorporating a concealed wetback system for high-efficiency hot water generation.

The floorplan offers multiple living zones, flowing effortlessly into a substantially renovated kitchen that acts as the heart of the home. Replacing the original laminex, sleek polished timber benchtops now complement updated cabinetry and finishes. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the meticulous joinery, including over 30 roll-out drawers, an oversized pantry, and a large island bench ideal for entertaining.

The accommodation wing is designed as a private retreat. The master bedroom features a generous walk-in robe and semi-ensuite access to a bathroom with a screenless shower and extended vanity. The upper level also offers an additional room suitable as a study or third bedroom.

Below, the home has undergone a complete transformation. The previously undeveloped lower level is now a fully realized, luxury living zone. It features a new bedroom and a stunning new bathroom complete with a spa bath, shower, toilet, and vanity. Laundry and storage areas have been reconfigured into a large living or rumpus room featuring a newly installed kitchenette. Fully lined, tiled, and carpeted with modern finishes, this level serves as a highly flexible guest suite or secondary family living zone. Outside, the former under-cover carport has been converted to a covered alfresco deck, expanding the living space further.

Adjacent to the residence lies an architecturally striking poured earth double garage and additional 80+ sqm of poured earth shedding. This structure has been converted into a high-quality studio space. With stud walls installed, the area is fully lined and finished, featuring a kitchenette, a new toilet and vanity area, carpet tiles, and quality lighting. Currently set up with a large flat screen TV, it is ideal as a creative space, gym, workshop, or retreat, and includes a Tesla electric vehicle charging station.

The grounds are nothing short of a horticultural masterpiece. The gardens were originally designed by renowned landscape architect Robert Boyle and have been substantially enhanced and further developed. The property features distinct outdoor areas including a Pinot Noir vineyard, a fragrant citrus grove, espaliered apple trees, and a productive nut orchard. A new merbau deck overlooks the dam, replacing the original structure, and joins upgraded outdoor entertaining zones and merbau steps. The park-like grounds include cleared and maintained forested areas where Cypress tree canopies have been selectively opened to create light-filled walkways.

A rare lifestyle addition is the approximately 530-metre private walking and running track that encircles the property. Ranging from 1 metre to 5 metres wide, the track meanders through the grounds, including shaded sections beneath the cypress trees, offering a feature not commonly found on comparable properties.

Mardan itself is a hidden gem of the region, acting as a serene pastoral bridge between the major service hub of Leongatha and the charming township of Mirboo North. While you enjoy absolute privacy, essential amenities are just a fifteen-minute drive away.
