Rich in history and beautifully preserved, Warburton House is a breathtaking residence built in 1926 and set against sweeping views toward Mt Victoria. Currently operating as a world class bed and breakfast, this remarkable property offers an exceptional lifestyle opportunity with multiple income streams or the flexibility for an extraordinary family estate.
A wide, sun-drenched front veranda captures panoramic valley vistas, while inside, exquisite original features, including floorboards, wall and dado panelling, picture rails and ornate ceiling roses, celebrate the home’s heritage charm. Elegant and beautifully decorated in the style of the time, the main residence features versatility with five beautifully appointed bedrooms providing the option of a formal living room with fireplace (non-working), and includes a stunning main suite with French doors opening to the veranda along with two bathrooms and a powder room.
Designed for both guest accommodation and modern family living, the expansive kitchen, dining and living domain forms the heart of the home. A new 900mm stove, stone surfaces and a generous island bench ensure practicality, while the adjoining dining space easily caters to large gatherings. Black limestone flooring adds character and practicality.
In the cooler months, cosy evenings are spent by the fireplace with a Nectre wood heater, while warmer days invite you to open the French doors and step out to the rear veranda and alfresco area, overlooking a tranquil fern gully at the base of the property. Further comforts include ducted heating, split system, solar panels, a storage room with lockable storage for mountain bikes etc., and workshop with woodfired stove.
Adding to the estate’s appeal is a charming, original two-bedroom cottage, built to accommodate local timber workers, retaining its own slice of history with a working woodfired stove alongside a modern stove. With French doors opening from one of the bedrooms and living area, to a rear veranda with leafy outlook, and second bedroom to the front, along with central bathroom, laundry and single carport, the cottage offers excellent flexibility for guest accommodation or multi-generational living.
A delightful, fully self-contained one-bedroom tiny home further enhances the offering, complete with loft bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and living area with split system, ideal for short stay accommodation or private guest quarters.
Set within a magical, established garden, the grounds feature original plantings from the home’s early days, including ancient tree ferns and holly trees along with a magnificent tulip tree and water lily camelias. Beautiful brick pathways, edging and paving weave throughout, creating a cohesive and enchanting outdoor environment.
Perfectly located for guests or residents, wander into town for a coffee or walk by the river with bike and walking tracks aplenty. A rare multi-dwelling estate with proven accommodation success, rich heritage character and breathtaking natural beauty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the heart of the Yarra Valley.
