“Mt Rothwell Estate”</p> Considering an escape to the country? Then this rare opportunity to experience a grand pastoral property and rural lifestyle could be perfect for you. Sitting at the foothills of the You Yangs, Mount Rothwell Homestead offers an idyllic rural sanctuary - just 35 minutes from Melbourne, 25 minutes to Geelong and 10 minutes to the Little River train station. Sit on the tessellated tile verandah and take in the the sweeping rural views - from the You Yangs to the Brisbane Ranges and around to Mount Macedon, while in the evening enjoy the twinkling lights of Melbournes Skyline. Boasting a fine pedigree - the home was built in 1873 by Robert Chirnside, nephew of the famous Thomas and Andrew of Werribee Park - Mount Rothwell was built for entertaining. Grand hallways link the guest wing, featuring a full size billiard table, to the main part of the home. A formal dining room and stunning original ladies withdrawing room (one of the most significant still in private ownership) add to the architectural charm and grand ambience. While the home is historically significant as an essentially intact example of a nineteenth century pastoral home, modern living isnt compromised. 3 new
