Home or hotel? $5m Pinterest dream hits the market

If you have ever found yourself daydreaming about the perfect home after scrolling through Pinterest, you are not alone.

For many, those dreamy pins remain a fantasy—but one remarkable property is turning that fantasy into reality for a potential buyer. And while it might be out of reach for most, it is certainly worth a look.

A grand entrance (and then some)

Located in the leafy, semi-rural suburb of Plenty—just 25 kilometres from Melbourne’s central business district (CBD)—this hotel-inspired mansion has just hit the market for the first time.

With a price guide of $5 million to $5.5 million, the six-bedroom, seven-bathroom residence combines high-end luxury with family-friendly design. It is the result of years of planning, passion, and personal inspiration.

The current owners, experienced in home-building and lovers of architecture, poured their hearts into crafting a space that reflects both five-star opulence and daily liveability.

A warm welcome meets serious design

From the outset, the house makes a statement. A towering façade opens into a soaring foyer with six-metre-high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the entry with natural light.

An atrium garden brings a soft, organic touch to the dramatic structure. Inside, open-plan living sets the tone for the ground floor.

A sunken lounge fitted with a custom-built sofa flows into a formal dining zone and a chef’s kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and a hidden butler’s pantry.

And for anyone concerned about the polished concrete floors—rest assured, in-floor heating keeps everything warm underfoot.

Materials that tell a story

What makes this home stand out is its confident use of materials.

The owners incorporated concrete formwork alongside reclaimed San Selmo bricks imported from Spain.

Anodised bronze aluminium batons provide a subtle industrial edge, while upstairs, oak herringbone floors soften the space and add a classic elegance.

It is a mix of modern textures that could feel overwhelming on paper, but the execution is cohesive and striking in person.

Luxury living, inside and out

The master suite occupies its own private wing, complete with dual dressing rooms, an oversized ensuite, and access to a parent’s retreat and outdoor zones.

There is also a guest bedroom with its own ensuite, plus a large home office, a billiards room with a wet bar and wine storage, and a 12-seat home theatre for entertaining.

Fitness lovers are also well catered for. The home includes a commercial-grade gym, steam room, and a Laava sauna.

Teenagers have their own zone upstairs via a sweeping, curved metal staircase, with four additional bedrooms—each with walk-in robes and private ensuites.

Outdoors, resort-style living continues. A solar-heated pool and spa sit at the heart of the backyard, surrounded by a full-size, floodlit tennis court and a covered alfresco dining area with an outdoor kitchen.

Sustainability is also part of the plan, with a 10,000-litre water tank, a 19.8kW solar array, a 15kW three-phase GE inverter, and an electric vehicle charger for the environmentally conscious.

A home full of surprises

Despite the scale and strong materials used, real estate agent Aaron Yeats from Jellis Craig Greensborough says the home still feels surprisingly welcoming.

‘When you walk in, it just feels very liveable, which I think comes as a shock to some people,’ he says.

And while its size may suggest extensive upkeep, the home was designed to be low-maintenance—with minimal gardens and spaces that favour comfort over excess.

Unsurprisingly, interest has already been strong. ‘Most people are more interested in the house itself than the location,’ Yeats adds—and it is easy to understand why.

Expressions of interest close at 4pm on July 1.
