A generational offering, now presented to the marketplace.
An exceptional opportunity of enduring distinction, offered to the market for the first time in a generation. Defined by its remarkable riverside position, established surrounds and extraordinary sense of privacy, this is a property whose significance lies as much in its provenance as in the lifestyle it affords.
Occupying a privileged position along one of Hawthorn's most tightly held stretches of the Yarra River, the residence feels wonderfully removed from the city around it. Mature greenery, expansive river outlooks and a private jetty at the water's edge create a rare connection between home, garden and river, while the best of Hawthorn remains only moments away.
That connection to the Yarra is deeply rooted in the property's history. Once home to one of Hawthorn's riverside tea gardens, the site formed part of a celebrated chapter of Melbourne life when tea gardens lined the riverbanks and boating, recreation and afternoons by the water drew visitors from across the city. The Hawthorn Tea Gardens became a destination in their own right, with visitors arriving by ferry from Princes Bridge.
Today, echoes of that riverside heritage remain. The outlook is green and uninterrupted, the atmosphere quiet and considered, and the river continues to form an ever-changing backdrop to everyday life.
For its next custodian, the possibilities are compelling. To preserve and enjoy what already exists, to thoughtfully evolve the property for another generation, or to realise an entirely new vision befitting such an extraordinary riverside setting.
Private yet connected, peaceful yet unmistakably Melbourne, this is a property shaped by its relationship with the Yarra, distinguished by its history and almost impossible to replicate.
A generational Hawthorn holding. A storied riverside setting. An opportunity unlikely to be repeated.
