Joyous Winery (Formerly Jimjoca Stonier Vineyard)
At the heart of the Mornington Peninsula's esteemed wine country lies an estate that embodies the essence of seclusion and sophistication, set upon an expansive 161 acres (approx.) of rolling farmland, complete with large dams atop Vaughans Hill.


This remarkable property features sweeping vistas of Western Port and offers a lifestyle showcasing a breathtaking blend of natural beauty and architectural finesse, inviting an atmosphere of refined leisure.


From the rammed earth walls to the Italian marble and mosaic tiling, and beyond to the ingenious framing of the relaxed surroundings, this estate exudes elegance. A central poolside entertainment zone serves as the nucleus of the home, flanked by two distinct wings, each capitalising on the stunning landscape. Improvements include wonderful outdoor entertaining spaces that seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor settings, a north-south tennis court, and a Tundra marble and Miele kitchen alongside a spacious dining area. This thoughtful design accommodates guests with ease, with an additional self-contained guest suite that provides independent access and privacy.


The primary residence unfolds into an array of sophisticated living spaces, including an elegant dining area with high vaulted ceilings and a private sitting room with a marble gas fireplace. The chef's kitchen, equipped for the most discerning entertainers, is complemented by a fully appointed generous caterer's kitchen and an extensive underground cellar with a feature hydraulic glass access door.


Four additional bedrooms are generous in size, each enjoying ensuite bathrooms. The main suite, with a sun-drenched deck and a lavish spa ensuite, provides the perfect owner's retreat.


The secure grounds, including 24 acres (approx.) of established Pinot and Chardonnay vineyards, seven paddocks serviced by lakes, and full reticulation, reflect an unparalleled commitment to agriculture and enjoyment. All of this is just 90 minutes from Melbourne, near renowned epicurean establishments, and minutes from Balnarring Village, where privacy and prestige reign.
