Levantine Hill Estate Levantine Hill Estate s name draws inspiration from the French named Levant, the blessed, ancient biblical lands on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean where the sun rises. The Estate is located in the sun drenched fertile Yarra Valley, to the east of Melbourne, where the sun also rises. Prominently situated atop one of the Estate s hill with a 360-degree panoramic view, Levantine Hill Homestead is a magnificent and truly unique residence offering a serene retreat in the heart of one of Australia s most renowned wine regions. Perched above the idyllic Estate, the Homestead offers breathtaking views of the distinctively landscaped, fan shaped Levantine Hill vineyards which boast the finest premium vines planted in this picturesque valley. The Homestead has been meticulously designed with impeccable attention to detail ensuring our guests will enjoy its spacious entertainment areas, lush accommodation and amenities, and a substantial collection of museum quality Australian art. The Homestead has four luxurious guest suites with private bathrooms. A distinctive choice of dining areas caters for all moods and occasions. More than ten living and entertaining spaces ranging from the relaxed to the highly formal are available for our guests to enjoy, some of which are warmed by one of four grand open fireplaces. Be it reading a book and enjoying the serenity of the landscape or watching a storm develop over The Great Dividing Range, Levantine Hill Homestead provides an incredibly fulfilling experience. enquiry@levantinehill.com.au
