6-30 Homestead Drive

Welcome to St Albans Homestead, a rare and remarkable estate rich in heritage, grandeur, and possibility, located at 6–30 Homestead Drive, St Albans Park. Encompassing 8.39 acres (33,985m² approx.) of open areas and botanical designed gardens across two titles, this distinguished property offers an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity just moments from Geelong’s CBD and picturesque waterfront.

Built in 1873 and designed by renowned Melbourne architect James T. Conlan, this magnificent 30-room manor stands as a proud testament to 19th-century elegance. Once the heart of the famous St Albans Stud, the property holds significant place in Australia’s racing history, producing a direct lineage to ten Melbourne Cup winners. The legendary Phar Lap was secretly hidden here before the 1930 Melbourne cup due to a previous attempt on his life.

Today, the homestead has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully modernised, blending the romance of the past with contemporary comforts. The main residence offers six generous bedrooms, a dedicated home office, and five bathrooms, along with a harmonious mix of formal and informal living and dining areas, ideal for both grand entertaining and relaxed family living.

In addition to the main residence, a self-contained guest house offers one bedroom, a bathroom, and a private kitchen and living area—perfect for visitors, extended family, or a live-in caretaker.

Outside, the estate's equestrian legacy endures, with a substantial stable complex comprising 30 stalls, day paddocks, and extensive botanical gardens. Whether you envision reviving its historic equine roots, establishing a boutique agistment business, or simply enjoying the space and serenity for your family, the scope for future use is exceptional (STCA).

With its rich provenance, luxurious proportions, and idyllic location just a short drive from Geelong and under an hour from Melbourne, St Albans Homestead is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a property of national historical significance and timeless beauty.
