Wheelers Hill: House with 14-car basement garage, 4000-bottle wine cellar hits the market
A mansion in Melbourne’s southeast featuring a 14-car showroom garage which doubles as a nightclub, a cigar room and cinema is set to become one of the suburb’s priciest homes.
A massive Wheelers Hill mansion boasting a 14-car basement garage that doubles as a nightclub is revving up the market with its $9.5m-$10.45m asking price.
Along with the “showroom style” garage, the basement contains a 4000-bottle cellar with a wine bar, gym and combined den and cigar room.
Measuring more than 1189sq m, the three-level house at 7 Pleasant View Cres has a top-notch entertaining set-up on its upper floors, including a 14-seat Dolby Atmos cinema.

Roman-style Wheelers Hill $5m+ mansion boasts car collector’s dream garage, four-post hoist
A barbecue kitchen, pizza oven, pool, spa and alfresco sunken lounge with a central fireplace add to the appeal outside.
The owner said the garage, featuring porcelain floor tiles, aluminium drop down ceiling panels and coloured lights, has hosted more than 100 birthday party guests.
“The whole garage is also a nightclub,” the owner said.
Set on a 2025.4sq m block, creating the property was an exercise in thinking big.
The five-bedroom, eight-bathroom mansion’s owner said he asked Melbourne-based architect Ari Alexander to design a home “multiple generations could live in without stepping on each other’s toes”.
Construction took two years and wrapped up in 2021.
“We used 44 slabs of stone throughout the house, most houses only use six or seven,” the owner said.
A handmade “showpiece” freestanding 1500mm Ilve stove with a matching rangehood takes centre stage in the kitchen.
The owner said he and his wife wanted to downsize now their three adult children were building their own family homes.
AP Property’s Adrian Santini and Jellis Craig Armadale’s Michael Armstrong have the listing.
Mr Armstrong said reproducing the “very warm and welcoming home” today would cost $10m+.
He said the mansion had attracted international interest, with potential buyers flying in from Sri Lanka to inspect.
Mr Santini said he had been wowed by the scale of the home
“In the main bedroom, next to the walk-in wardrobe, there is a dressing room that feels like you’re stepping into one of the boutiques in the city,” Mr Santini said.
“It’s so large you could literally have a party in there.”
The property offers uninterrupted views to the Dandenong Ranges, he added.
“It’s no coincidence they named the street Pleasant View, it is a very pleasant view,” he said.
Mr Santini said the crescent’s homes did not often come up for sale.
“Having over half an acre in City of Monash’s best street is pretty rare, let alone on a hill,” he said.
Wheelers Hill’s $10.5m record house price was set by 22 Coniston Drive in 2015.
Expressions of interest close at 12pm on September 5.
