Wisteria Hysteria

Welcome to the enchanting Wisteria Hysteria, a haven of history and romance nestled in a picturesque countryside, merely 7 minutes from Daylesford.

This meticulously renovated miner’s cottage, a labour of love by Australian Fashion Designer Alannah Hill, exudes charm and whimsy, offering a retreat draped in green tendrils and steeped in Gold Rush history.

With only four small rooms, the cottage is a tribute to romantic interiors, adorned with rich olive green, deep crimson, textured chocolate, and off-white hues that harmonize with the indulgent surroundings. European linen from Halle Mercantile and French Windows that open to views of rolling hills create a gorgeous bedroom environment.

Restored original features, such as ironbark timber floors and tongue-and-groove timber walls, evoke a sense of timeless elegance The cottage sits on 2 acres of country gardens, featuring an overhanging wisteria-adorned veranda that invites you to unwind with views of rolling hills and neighbouring farmland.

The living room, the original arched brick chimney now hosts a Masport Klondike pot belly wood stove and a modern split system for comfort. The cottage kitchen, framed by stunning leadlight windows, overlooks the green acreage and orchard, featuring a porcelain sink and Baltic pine open shelves. The kitchen’s original stone chimney houses an Esse Ironheart wood-fired stove and oven, adding a touch of classic charm. Modern touches such as a DeLonghi coffee machine, Smeg toaster/electric kettle, hot plates, and microwave for cooking are included for convenience.

The moody and elegant bathroom features a heritage cast iron sink a free-standing claw foot bath with an overhead shower, and an electronically warmed Japanese bidet toilet, creating a tranquil calm retreat within the cottage.

Outside, the established country garden is a tapestry of grand old pines, a small dam, and mature ornamental trees, including Capital Pears, Claret Ash, Silver Birch, Willows, and Golden Elms. A productive fruit orchard yields plums, and quince, and boasts a century-old English apple tree.

Immerse yourself in Alannah’s creative spirit and “effervescent whimsy” as you explore this idyllic country haven, conveniently located just 1 hour and 20 minutes from Melbourne, 7 minutes from Daylesford, and a short 20-minute drive to Castlemaine.
