Step inside this beautiful Yarra Valley country ‘barn’ that’s just about to smash a suburb record

A spectacular log mansion with a rustic American-style barn sitting in the picturesque Yarra Valley could be about to smash a suburb record.
Yarra Manna has a unique design inspired by the towering Manna gum trees that line the leafy property in the rural Victorian town of Launching Place, 54km east of Melbourne’s city centre.
The six-bedroom family home looks like it belongs in an alpine forest in the USA with stacked stone fireplaces and walls of hundreds of timber logs, some as long as 14m and as heavy as six tonnes.
Outside by the lily pad and lotus flower-filled lake is a classic gambrel-roof barn made from recycled timber which acts as a stable, workshop or epic party space all in one.
Inside the main house, the heart of the home is ‘the great room’ which features two lounges, a warming stone fireplace, soaring vaulted ceilings and a huge double-height window showcasing the scenic mountain views of the Yarra Valley.

A dining room and country-style kitchen neighbours the palatial lounge while an outdoor terrace wraps around the whole home with a series of entertaining areas as well as a wood-fie pizza oven and barbecue.
A wooden staircase twists up to the second level and connects to a mezzanine corridor to the primary suite with a hidden walk-through wardrobe, ensuite and a private patio and balcony.
The remaining upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom with a lavish spa bath and the remaining downstairs bedrooms each have their own walk-in closets.
The luxurious home also features a study and hobby room as well as a games and entertainment space with a pool table and built-in bar.

The Yarra River snakes through the magnificent grounds where sprawling lawns are home to friendly cows and guests can enjoy chilly nights by the firepit.
Yarra Manna is on the market with an asking price of more than $7million. Pat Rice and Hawkins’ Peter Balharrie told FEMAIL it is attracting lots of buyer attention.
If the incredible Cairncroft Avenue home were to fetch the high sale price it would smash Launching Place’s previous record for the most expensive property sold almost three times over.
The current record currently sits at $2.65million after a 32-hectare home and farming land on Dalry Road was sold in 2021.
It is also well above the town median sale price of just $670,000, but Belharrie has pegged Yarra Manna as ‘the best property in the Yarra Valley’.
