Situated atop a hill on approximately 40 acres over 2 titles of gently undulating land, this historic Italianate style Beaconsfield mansion offers a generational property with opportunity limited only by your own imagination.

Recognised by the National Trust of Australia as having historical significance to the state, the residence was built in 1879 by Melbourne financier George Ramsden and later acquired by the Armytage family of Como House who used the property as a country retreat and often opened up the property for weddings and scout camps.

“180 Holm Park Road really forms a part of Beaconsfield’s and Victoria’s history, and the fact that so many locals have no idea it is here is mind blowing,” Sarah James told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“It really takes you back to the grandeur of a bygone era. Walking through the home you get an overwhelming sense of the deep history associated with the property.”

“We first went up to value the vacant block and was told there was an old house attached. There was obviously a breakdown in communication because we were gobsmacked when we saw the old stables and the home behind it,” Sarah explained. 

“We spent the next hour just taking it all in. That’s just the home, the horticulture at the property is a whole other story.”

Privately hidden at the end of a sweeping circular carriage drive, the home is surrounded by mature trees and lush open spaces.

Beyond the return cast iron verandah and through the front door, you are welcomed with 14ft soaring ceilings and a stunning entrance hallway. This grand sense of history extends throughout the home through period details such as intricate paintwork, ornate cornicing, grand archways, and chandeliers.

The multi-level residence features 5-bedroom accommodation, with formal lounge, living, dining and billiards room. The large kitchen adjoins a separate meals room opening to a central courtyard.

Outside, there’s a pool with space for garden parties as well as a spa and separate tennis court. 

The old stables offer their own history but also an opportunity to make your own additions. 

The opportunities for this property are only limited by your own imagination, a home, a weekend retreat, a wedding venue or function centre.
