Last Listing description (October 2025)
Built in 1862 and designed by renowned colonial architect Leonard Terry, The Vicarage is one of Victoria's oldest and most distinguished residences. Steeped in Australian Goldrush history, this French-inspired estate is an enduring icon of Clunes, offering both historical significance and refined modern comfort.
Set on 3,539sqm in the historic heart of town, the formal gardens create a captivating introduction. A central path lined with pencil pines leads through lush lawns and mature European trees-one adorned with a charming swing. The romance of this property is immediate: bluestone foundations, solid brick walls, and a fully restored slate roof frame a residence of rare character. Original features include wide verandas, a grand arched entry with stained-glass highlights, and a soaring central archway in the foyer.
The front rooms impress with scale and light. To the right, a formal lounge with fireplace and vintage chandelier opens through French doors onto the north terrace. Opposite, the main bedroom offers its own French doors to the southern veranda. Throughout the home are six fireplaces-three with enclosed wood burners-enhancing its warmth and grandeur. The southern wing hosts two additional bedrooms, each with fireplaces and direct garden access.
In the northern wing, a second lounge connects to a private terrace, while the kitchen and dining area blend tradition with modern function. Flooded with natural light, this space features European appliances including a 900mm Belling oven, abundant storage, and a repurposed vintage shop counter from nearby Daylesford. The main bathroom showcases copper fittings, a stepless shower, and an open fireplace, complemented by a second bathroom with laundry facilities. A central enclosed courtyard unites the wings, creating an intimate retreat for morning coffee, while a fully plumbed cast iron bath adds a touch of classic charm.
Outdoors, the estate continues to impress. A 160-year-old elm provides a majestic canopy, while multiple alfresco areas cater to both intimate gatherings and grand entertaining. The northern courtyard, framed by antique Indian doors, sets the stage for larger occasions. A fire pit repurposed from an Indian dahl pot anchors the chef's garden, complete with raised vegetable beds and an established orchard. Additional highlights include a stainless-steel wood-fired hot tub (available for purchase), double garage with barn doors, garden shed, deep bore water supply, and a tiny house with its own enclosed garden-perfect as a guest room, studio, or office.
Holding two titles and dual street frontages with convenient side-lane access, The Vicarage occupies a premier position within Clunes' heritage precinct. It is just moments from the train station and town centre, with Daylesford and Hepburn Springs within easy reach.
Rarely offered and impossible to replicate, this is an extraordinary opportunity to secure one of Clunes' most significant estates.
