Originally built in the early-Victorian era, reimagined on numerous occasions across the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, and remaining one of the most significant residences anywhere north of the Yarra, ‘Belle Vue Park’ offers a generational opportunity to own a piece of the city’s history.

Once the private domain of a Melbourne founding father John Pascoe Fawkner, the estate’s curated gardens, iron gates, horseshoe driveway, and end-of-court placement leave an unforgettable impression, with interiors beyond displaying a calibre of quality, workmanship, and opulence like nothing else Oak Park and surrounds could possibly offer. A marble-floor foyer sees soaring, ornate ceilings, rich goldleaf tones, elaborate plasterwork, and a focal arch set a tone of grandeur and extravagance continued throughout, with a wide hallway winding to introduce a guest room, office, and bay-window lounge and dining rooms en route to a sensational entertainer’s space with a fully equipped bar, fireplace, and three sets of French doors to outside.
