Melbourne mansion with three homes and wedding set up

News.com.au24-06-2025
This estate looks like a country retreat, but it's hiding three homes, a city view and a surprise upstairs chalet.
Set across 7.7ha in Hurstbridge, 110 Heather Ave, is a rare multigenerational haven with skyline views, three fully self-contained living zones, and a renovated interior that blends rustic warmth with modern ease.
Now for sale with $2.1m-$2.3m price hopes, the 11-bedroom, five-bathroom property is already drawing big crowds and even bigger reactions, thanks to its breathtaking hilltop setting, poolside entertaining zone and floorplan designed for blended or extended families.
Jellis Craig Eltham sales consultant Rex Calvitto. said the home is tailor-made for big or blended households who don't want to compromise on privacy, or on location,
'You've got that seamless family set up with completely independent living zones, and when people arrive, they walk out onto the deck and just stop. That view makes people pause. It really is something else,' Mr Calvitto said.
The view stretches from the Kinglake Ranges on one side to Melbourne's CBD on the other, offering an unexpectedly dramatic outlook for a property just an hour from the city.
And that's just one of the estate's headline features.
The main residence includes eight bedrooms and four bathrooms across two spacious levels, with multiple living areas including a rumpus room, fireside lounge, meals zone and a flexible upstairs retreat.
Soaring cathedral ceilings and rich timber textures add warmth, while modern updates, including a brand-new stone kitchen with make it ready for 2025 living.
Mr Calvitto said that balance of rustic character and modern comfort is resonating with buyers.
'The vendors have kept the warmth of the home but updated it for today's lifestyle, it's move-in ready, but still feels like a country homestead,' he said.
Connected to the main home is a self-contained one-bedroom apartment, ideal for a teenager or live-in guests, while a fully separate two-bedroom flat on the property offers added flexibility for relatives, long-term visitors or even potential bed and breakfast use.
And when it comes to entertaining, the layout delivers.
From the elevated wraparound deck — which greets visitors upon arrival — you can see the alfresco area, lawn and pool, all while still connected to the home's heart.
'The indoor-outdoor flow is seamless,' Mr Calvitto said.
'You can be prepping dinner inside while watching the kids in the pool. In summer, it's set up perfectly for barbecues, long lunches, and relaxed entertaining, every space talks to each other.'
The estate also includes two large sheds (one with a gym and office), established gardens, auto gates, and ample water storage.
But the Jellis Craig Eltham agent it's the rarity of the land and the skyline that's truly making waves.
'Properties like this almost never hit the market. The response has been huge,' Mr Calvitto said.
'We've had strong enquiry, great traction on the video campaign, and high engagement online. It's not just another lifestyle listing, it's one that stops people scrolling.'
Even the upstairs master suite, with its pitched ceilings and treetop views, has been catching buyers off guard.
'There's something chalet-like about it,' he said.
'It's private, peaceful, and the kind of space you don't expect until you're standing in it.'
So far, interest has ranged from young families looking for future-proof room to grow, to tree-changers, business owners, and downsizers with adult children or elderly parents.

What the RBA's interest rate decision means for your mortgage

The Reserve Bank's interest rate cut will be felt as good news for millions of mortgage holders across the country. The RBA announced a reduction in the cash rate by 0.25 percentage points from 3.85 per cent to 3.6 per cent. It marks the third rate cut this year, following similar reductions in February and May. RBA governor Michele Bullock acknowledged the cut comes as "households are still feeling the pain of higher costs". "The board will keep doing what it needs to do to keep inflation down and maintain a healthy jobs market because when inflation is low and stable and people can get jobs; it's good for households, it's good for the community, and it's good for the broader Australian economy." So how much will mortgage holders save? Household savings on the way According to financial comparison website Canstar, mortgage holders with a $500,000 loan can expect to save around $74 per month. This estimate is based on an owner-occupier paying principal and interest with 25 years remaining on the mortgage. Those with higher mortgages, up to $1 million, can expect to save around $148 per month. Including the two previous rate cuts in February and May, the accumulated savings are even higher. Those with a $500,000 loan could potentially save $226 per month, while those with a $1 million loan could save up to $453 per month. Source: SBS News Will the banks pass the savings on? A number of banks have promised to pass the rate cut in full to customers. For Westpac customers, a -0.25 per cent rate adjustment will be passed on for variable interest rate home loans from 26 August. The Commonwealth Bank says its cuts will come into effect on 22 August. Macquarie Bank announced its variable rates will be reduced as of 15 August. ANZ and NAB have followed suit. Around 20 lenders also cut their variable rate ahead of the RBA's announcement. A number of major banks have promised to pass on the rate cut in full to customers. Source: AAP / Rick Rycroft Diana Mousina, deputy chief economist at AMP, urges caution as not all mortgage holders will be eligible for an automatic reduction. "There's not this automatic reduction to mortgage rates just because of what the RBA does. It may take a few months for it to actually get passed through to mortgage repayments." Paying more now to save later Canstar data insights director Sally Tindall suggests that some mortgage holders may benefit from keeping their repayments the same. "For those managing to hold their budgets together, consider keeping your repayments exactly the same," Tindall said. "Every rate cut is another opportunity to invest back into your mortgage and potentially be debt-free months, if not years early." If a mortgage holder who was sitting on a $600,000 loan in February kept their repayments steady, they would be paying $272 more per month in repayments than if they had lowered them to the minimum rate. But it would also mean shaving off three years and three months from the length of their mortgage. Ultimately, Tindall urges mortgage holders to weigh up what is best for them. A good time to talk to the bank "Ultimately, any sort of rate cut can still be seen as relief, but given that rates were hiked so much it's just taking some of that increased pressure away. Mortgage holders are still paying more than they were a few years ago." Mousina says that it's important to figure out if your current mortgage is appropriate for you. "You want to make sure your variable rate is the lowest you can have." Tindall says that after this rate cut, ambitious owner-occupiers should be able to set themselves a stretch target of 5.25 per cent. "Your mortgage rate is one number where you want to be aiming for well below average."
