The Hollies is a grand Edwardian residence that has been meticulously renovated and restored offering a rare blend of architectural integrity, modern comfort, and stately presence. Set on 1,297sqm (approx.) of landscaped grounds, this beautiful residence is rich in character, refined in detail, and deeply connected to its place. Located in one of Kyneton’s peaceful and sought after locations just a short walk to the Botanic Gardens and Campaspe River trail.
Built in 1898 and framed by thoughtfully maintained gardens, The Hollies presents a striking façade, defined by its original Welsh slate roof, ornate clay chimney pots, decorative finials, and wide tessellated verandah that wraps the home in timeless grace. Resting on solid bluestone foundations, the residence is elegant yet welcoming, with a sense of history that reveals itself gradually as you move through the spaces. Its position on the corner block allows the architecture to be fully appreciated, with every angle reflecting the care and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
Inside, the home unfolds with quiet grandeur. A wide Baltic pine hallway draws you through a series of beautifully proportioned rooms, where 3.5-metre pressed metal ceilings, stained glass windows, and high Edwardian skirtings remain intact. The formal lounge, four generous bedrooms—three with fireplaces—and a striking dining room are rich in heritage detail, offering warm, elegant spaces for daily life or entertaining.
At the rear, a beautifully renovated kitchen and meals area delivers both theatre and function, anchored by a dramatic Brazilian stone island and featuring European appliances, a butler’s pantry, walk-in larder, and dedicated wine cellar. Two stylish bathrooms sit at opposite ends of the home, each finished with natural stone and hydronic towel rails—designed for comfort while honouring the home’s classical character.
Outdoors, the garden is a masterclass in structure and softness. Weeping hollies, espaliered fruit trees, clipped box hedging and ornamental plantings provide seasonal interest and privacy, while a paved alfresco area offers space to gather and enjoy the surrounds. There’s also a 6x4m powered shed, an oversized single garage with internal access, and a laundry with third toilet.
Thoughtfully updated for year-round ease, the home also includes hydronic heating, is fully insulated, double-glazed windows and dual instantaneous hot water systems. Every improvement has been made with care and respect for the home’s architectural story.
Positioned just minutes from Kyneton’s cafés, fine dining, boutiques, schools and train station—and a little over an hour from Melbourne by V/Line. The Hollies is a remarkable offering - elegant, enduring, and deeply loved, it’s ready for its next chapter.
