One of South Yarra’s oldest and most prestigious properties, Elibank House is an impeccably renovated family oasis set on approx. 1,200 sqm in the heart of the Domain. 

Originally built in 1857, the manor has a rich history, including a period as the German Embassy, and an inherent sense of sophistication, quality and grandeur which has been tastefully reinvigorated by renowned architects JCB.

Beyond the high walls that conceal it from the street, a vast and newly landscaped front garden with water feature symmetrically complements the home’s period facade. 

Inside, traditional living spaces have been enhanced by Kate Challis with details and themes that tastefully echo throughout the entire dwelling, including Italian Breccia Cotta marble, hand-painted silk wallpaper, and vintage chandeliers. 

From the stunning library entrance, downstairs comprises a powder room, large living room with original Victorian fireplace and bay window, huge informal living and dining room featuring vintage Italian chandelier opening onto outdoor entertainment deck.

The large open-plan kitchen/living area features a tier-level marble island bench, butler’s pantry and separate laundry, while the basement wine cellar and debonair whiskey chamber complete the luxury inclusions expected of such a high calibre estate.

Upstairs, the expansive Master Suite occupies the entire width of the first floor, opening onto a full width balcony surrounded by lush greenery. The master bedroom also has a stunning bay window with a freestanding bath, expansive dressing room and luxurious marble ensuite with bespoke marble shower. Three further bedrooms each enjoy ensuites with hand-made mosaic tiles in varying colour palettes.

At the rear of the property, the original stables have been converted to a double-level garage with self-contained mezzanine loft, connected to the main residence via a vast decked entertaining area incorporating a blue mosaic pool, which leads down to a landscaped fire pit area. Parking is available in Domaine Lane (off 480 Punt Road).

Within walking distance of the Royal Botanic Gardens and The Main Yarra Trail, this refined property offers a secluded lifestyle of truly opulent and historically significant proportions.
