An historic tri gabled Victorian homestead (Circa 1885) set amidst 4ha (10 acres) of elevated land introduced by an avenue of majestic oaks & elms. The first owner of this magnificent country residence was John McMahon, the Lord Mayor of Fitzroy, and Founder of the Fitzroy Football Club. Most likely his weekend retreat, its plantings are thought to be of a similar age to those in the Fitzroy Gardens. The structure of the home remains true to its origins with modern concessions and today is a comfortable, well appointed family home with inclusions such as reverse cycle air conditioning, a superb country kitchen with Paul Bocuse oven and beautifully appointed living rooms with harmonious connections to garden terraces and beyond. The homestead is further complemented by a cottage, thought to have been the original home/ stables, divided into two self-contained guest suites. These would perfectly suit a bed & breakfast venture, house a live-in manager or provide extended family/guest accommodation. An impressive drive through stable complex has been constructed sympathetically to the homestead and is finished to a very high standard. It comprises four stables, tack/feed, loft and hot/cold wash. Further improvements include a magnificent alfresco pavilion with built in fireplace and views to Westernport Bay. Other features of the property include a fully tiled inground swimming pool, a 60m x 20m show jumping arena and a spring fed dam.The gardens at The Grange are something to behold! Framed by 130-year-old exotic trees, they include sprawling lawns, clipped hedged borders and colourful beds that burst forth in an ever-changing display of seasonal colour. The Grange is within commuting distance of Melbourne via the Monash Freeway, 5 mins drive from bustling Pakenham and a short drive to an excellent range of private & public schools. As either a weekend escape or permanent home, its enormous character and charm will afford you years of enjoyment.
