Historic residence Kilora was originally constructed in 1871 in Hamilton Victoria, for the editor of local newspaper The Spectator. 

Following extensions in the 1890’s, the red brick residence is now approx. 74 sqm and considered to be the largest single level residence in the town. 

“The property Kilora is arguably the most significant in Hamilton,” agent Stewart Otton told WILLIAMS MEDIA. “It is sited on the highest point of Church Hill and overlooks the renowned Hamilton Botanical Gardens. This is a unique property steeped in Western District history.”

Character period features have been retained throught the home, including high timber ceilings, polished board floors, leadlight windows, Robert Prenzel carvings and open fireplaces in nearly every room.

The floorplan comprises a number of magnificent spaces, including the ornate reception hall, drawing room, a large formal dining room, library, office and parlour.

A vaulted ceiling, leadlight panels, wood panelling, and polished floors host a full size Alcock table in the formal Billiard Room, while the renovated kitchen is expansive and features high quality European appliances and butler’s pantry.

Kilora accommodates six bedrooms, including a large master with ensuite and verandah access, and a separate guest bedroom with ensuite at the other side of the home.

An adjacent cabana includes shower, toilet and cooking facilities, while the lock up garage includes access from Skene Street.
