Celebrated Daylesford Longhouse for sale

The multi-award-winning Daylesford Longhouse by Partners Hill has been listed for sale.

Winner of the Australian Institute of Architects 2019 Robin Boyd Award for Residential Architecture at the National Architecture Awards, as well as Australian House of the Year and New House over 200 square metre categories at the 2019 Houses Awards, the longhouse is recognised as one of Australia's most celebrated contemporary homes.

The property occupies a 20-acre parcel of land at 178 Mannings Road in Elevated Plains, within Victoria's Hepburn Shire. From afar, the building presents as a 110-metre long shed. Within the single volume, however, a series of internal buildings are arranged around a greenhouse setting. These buildings include living quarters, a garden kitchen/cooking school, visitor accommodation and a working farm.

In her 2019 review of the project for Architecture Australia, Katelin Butler described entering the building as "magical and otherworldly," noting that despite this atmosphere, every design decision is marked by masterful clarity and grounded in rational thinking.

Owners Ronnen Goren and Trace Streeter acquired the property about 15 years ago, and worked closely with architect and Partners Hill director Timothy Hill to bring to life their vision - a place to live, farm, host and create, while also enabling a self-sufficient lifestyle.

Goren, co-owner of Daylesford Longhouse and co-owner and director of multidisciplinary design practice Studio Ongarato, described the longhouse as one that "redefines luxury: grounded in place, rich in experience, and connected to community with food and entertainment at the heart."

He added, "We are now at a stage where the time is right to pass on the legacy of what we have created."

Timothy Hill was awarded the Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal in 2025, with the Daylesford Longhouse praised in the jury citation. The longhouse was recognised by the jury as being emblematic of Hill's broader approach to architecture, one that has "engendered an expectation that architecture can, and must, offer contiguous interior-exterior space through which inhabitants can feel place and climate - architecture that is sensual, tactile, crafted and joyful."

The project has appeared on ABC television series Grand Designs Australia, as well as the Apple TV+ series Home.
