A historic Moonee Ponds mansion used to film TV’s Underbelly is now taking centre stage in an upcoming Netflix series from Superwog stars Theo and Nathan Saidden.
An upcoming Netflix series from Superwog stars Theo and Nathan Saidden is filming at a heritage-listed Moonee Ponds mansion.
Named Rosina, the 1888-built house is for sale with a $6.99m-$7.68m price range.
The five-bedroom home at 40 Ardmillan Rd features a ballroom, triple-storey tower, outdoor pool, ornate plasterwork and open fireplaces with marble mantelpieces.

Nelson Alexander’s David Vaughan said the Saidden’s show, Son of a Donkey, was shooting scenes at Rosina this week.
The brothers are writing, directing, producing and acting in the program, appearing as characters Theo and Johnny whom they previously portrayed in the ABC iView’s two series of Superwog, which was named Superbro outside of Australia.
Together, the siblings have amassed more than 3.4 million subscribers on their YouTube comedy channel.
Their Netflix series is being also being produced by South Melbourne’s Princess Pictures which has previously worked with comedians Ross Noble, Wendy Harmer and Chris Lilley and satirist John Safran.
Six episodes of Son of a Donkey will stream on Netflix.
Hit television show Underbelly’s first season also filmed at Rosina.
Starring Gyton Grantley, Vince Colosimo and Kat Stewart, the 2008 program depicted the Melbourne gangland killings of 1995-2004 and Carl Williams’ rise to become a major drug kingpin.
The show was based on the book Leadbelly: Inside Australia’s Underworld by journalists Andrew Rule and John Silvester.
Mr Vaughan said Rosina’s tower offered 360-degree views of Melbourne’s CBD and planes taking off at Tullamarine airport.
“Mainly families have been looking at the property, they’ve come from right across Victoria,” he said.
“Buyers like the fact that’s on one of the best streets in Moonee Ponds, the fact it’s on 1455sq m of north-facing land and the impressive facade and tower, which is a real feature across three stories and has uninterrupted views.”
Expressions of interest close at 2pm on August 2.
