Less than an hour from the Melbourne CBD in Drouin South, the historic Glenfyne Gardens is for sale, an established wedding venue featuring a 130-year-old fully restored timber chapel and modern function/reception centre.
Glenfine Gardens comprises an exquisite two-bedroom solid brick art deco “gentleman’s residence”, 130-year-old fully restored timber chapel, modern function/reception centre, and charming tea rooms set among six acres of beautiful botanical gardens and verdant lawn.
Brokering agent Janine Lum of Unique Estates Australia says, "Constructed in 1948, the master residence is a period showpiece. Virtually all original features are retained; authentic light fittings, bakelite door handles, internal etched glass doors, ornate cornices and curved glass front windows."
"The chapel and vestry are the property’s pride and joy, complete with original pews and antique organ in good working condition," Lum continues.
There is also a modern 80-seat function/reception centre and a small café/tea rooms which can seat 20 guests. The function centre has been a popular venue for wedding receptions, birthday parties and other functions. The Chapel can be used for weddings, funerals, wine tasting’s and the odd opera.
Built in 1896, the building’s heritage aspects extend to the original white timber “Farmers Cottage”, complete with slow combustion stove and TV aerial with B&B potential.
Lum adds, "Stunning botanical gardens and expansive lawns envelope the property, including a huge vegetable garden and fabulous fruit trees. Water for the glorious grounds will never prove a problem thanks to four rainwater tanks and large holding tank fed by spring water pumped via the nearby creek."
