On The Market
Well, well, WELL. Trust us to wait til the last week of the year to drop you with a serious bombshell of a house!
Designed by legendary modernist architect Roy Grounds (the iconic designer of the National Gallery of Victoria!) in the 1970s, Dunraven is an impressive 15-acre property combining grand country splendour with modernist geometry. Even though only one of us can buy it, please enjoy a snoop of this delectable spread of Australian design from the creme de la creme of modernist architecture!
There’s something to be said for leaving the best until last.

Sir David and Lady Fairbairn built this amazing home after moving from their farm at Woomargama, NSW. It then came into the hands of another remarkable couple, Jake and Sally Nevins. Jake was a rake from the US who married Sally, a prisoner of war under the Japanese. They lived in the Phillippines before emigrating to Australia with their two daughters. It once had a much larger landholding attached to it, allowing an unimpeded view to the Hume Weir. Several carve-ups since has meant a smaller land area, but there is still a lovely view of the water.
