“What makes this historical, landmark property so special is its rarity, held for over 40 years, a significant generational family home,” James Redfern told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“’Hindson House’ is a remarkable 1-acre (approx. 4,021sqm) clifftop offering with extraordinary Bay views and enormous potential to extend and renovate (STCA).”

Tastefully renovated within its original footprint, the home’s grand interiors present large, interconnected living areas designed to entertain with exquisite period details which include open fireplaces, leadlight windows, soaring 14-foot ceilings, archways, and original Baltic Pine floors.

From the generous entry foyer, a wide central hallway introduces a north-facing living room, a family bathroom, and a guest bedroom with an ensuite.

All these spaces offer views of lush rolling green lawns framing Port Phillip Bay.
