'Shadow Creek' proves what is possible when quality come first and money isn't an object.

According to listing agent, Jock Langley of Abercromby's Real Estate, absolutely "no expense has been spared" on this "Arizona style" homestead.

"The seller used to have a property in the US, so he had a passion to build a house in this part of the world that reflected his memories of America," Mr Langley told WILLIAMS MEDIA.

"You know the expression, 'bigger than Texas' ? This place is that to a T. It really is quite extraordinary - there is nothing about it that has been done on a small scale."

Suitable for equine or stud pursuits, the spectacular homestead boasts five bedrooms (all with their own ensuite), three living, dining and entertaining areas, with lift access to all levels, a wine cellar, and terraces enjoying panoramic views over the Strathbogie Ranges and surrounding countryside.

Mr Langley says the seller is downsizing. 

"He has owned it for a number of years and it's been a real labour of love for him to create what he's created there, but it's time to move on."

Mr Langley says the improvements made to the property are as "good as he's ever seen".

Topping off the property is Bespoke Blackwood timberwork, a massive granite kitchen, a lap pool, sweeping lawns, and an equally impressive modern four bedroom manager's residence with all the bells and whistles.

'Shadow Creek' also boasts post-and-rail fencing, extensive renovated pasture, dam with desalination plant, under cover stock yards and huge machinery shed with work-shop.

"It could suit a family looking for a lifestyle change, but it would also be ideal for someone looking for a cattle starter, a horticulturalist - there are lots of options with this property."

'Shadow Creek' is only 90 minutes from Melbourne, or even quicker by helicopter from the property's private helipad.

Mr Langley told WILLIAMS MEDIA there has been lots of interest in the property from Asian investors, as well as locals and people from interstate.

"We've even had interest from overseas buyers looking to convert this property into a high end golf course and lifestyle retreat."

"Overall, Locksley is a very healthy market. The strong association with the thoroughbred industry makes it hotly contested, with good appetite from foreign investors and locals. It's a captive market," Mr Langley said.
