Six of the best properties for sale in Victoria

Looking for your next home in Victoria? We’ve got you covered.

5 Meldrum Street, Beechworth

The north-east of Victoria is a bountiful place. The region’s rich history includes names like Ned and defining events like the gold rush. With the High Country next door and the Murray River a short drive away, there’s an abundance of natural beauty as well as action and activity.

At its centre is beautiful Beechworth, boasting one of the most superbly preserved heritage streetscapes in the country.

While those gold rush-era buildings are stunning, there’s a contemporary house up here that gives them a run for their money.

With a rammed-earth core and a spectacular, elevated site that affords views through the valley to the ranges, 5 Meldrum Street is a seriously handsome sight.

A spring-fed dam sits at the bottom of a gorgeous, stone-walled, tiered garden. A set of floating concrete steps links the house to the terrace by the water.

“The gardens are amazing,” says Kay & Burton’s Gowan Stubbings. “The house, though is really magnificent, capturing the light throughout. It’s a smart, logical, interesting floor plan and its very high quality.”

Earthy but elegant with big-sky, big-country views, the luminous property is offered in conjunction with First National Bonnici & Associates. The expressions-of-interest campaign has a guide of $3.95 million to $4.345 million.

258 Albert Road, South Melbourne

Sophisticated Stuart Rattle interiors and Paul Bangay landscaping enhance the enduring elegance of this renovated and extended Edwardian. Behind a handsome façade, the home has an en-suite bedroom on each level and another over the rear-access garage. There’s a showcase walk-in wine room in the dining room and sliders to a paved courtyard shaded by magnolias. It’s grouped among period beauties facing Albert Park Lake.

269 Canadian Bay Road, Mount Eliza

All the family will find places to get together, get active, take time out and entertain friends at this expansive two-level contemporary house. Two indoor living zones –the upstairs one enjoying bay and city views – are complemented by a poolside cabana, large decks, fire-pit seating and a dedicated basketball corner among sweeping gardens on the 2734-square-metre block.

19 Fairmont Avenue, Camberwell

This lovely Spanish mission property on a prominent corner has met the brief as a “forever family home” for the vendors, who are uprooting after 39 years. “It’s the jewel of the Golf Links Estate,” the agent says of the 1931 landmark featuring barley-sugar columns, arches, multi-paned windows and an asymmetrical pillared porch behind a well-tended garden. “It’s a tight-knit community drawing in young families.”

55 Blessington Street, St Kilda

Art partners heritage architecture at 1868 polychromatic-brick Woodside, the former home of renowned artists Albert Tucker and David Bromley. Its interior design and free-standing studio hold painterly memories. The residence, opposite St Kilda Botanical Gardens, has spacious formal and informal rooms, a vast cellar and gorgeous garden settings for the front verandah and rear deck. Its stables have been converted to self-contained accommodation.

Level 6, 2/313 Flinders Lane, Melbourne

This bright city pad shows off its vendor’s professional designer flair in the stone-paved foyer, decorative bathroom tiles and stair design. Practical, convenient and in the heart of the city action, the tri-level sky terrace has a home office and sliding glass doors to balconies off the living room and main bedroom. “It’s urban cool,” the agent says, noting good separation between the bedrooms.
