32 Rockley Road

South Yarra VIC 3141

A breathtaking expression of early 20th-century architecture and botanical splendour, this 1904 Queen Anne residence has been meticulously revived and transformed with a designer vision, redefining turn-key luxury over a grand family scale. Hidden within one of South Yarras most exclusive no-through streets, bordering Rockley Gardens and the Yarra River trails, the property unfolds as a private garden estate surrounded by mature trees, originally curated by Rick Eckersley, where nature becomes the central narrative.

The garden, lush and layered with decades of growth, frames every view. A bluestone pool lies at its centre, designed to read as an ornamental water feature rather than a statement of leisure. Inside, high ornate ceilings, richly stained Tasmanian Oak floors and grand proportions extend through a broad entry foyer and gallery hall to formal living and dining rooms, where marble fireplaces and leafy outlooks create an elegant backdrop for evenings that unfold in quiet conversation.

A library with a bespoke mantle of 400-year-old timber brings warmth and calm, leading to a spectacular open-plan living domain with honed bluestone floors that rise to conservatory ceilings and a wall of steel-framed glass. Gaggenau appliances, integrated Liebherr refrigeration, and Carrara marble surfaces complete a refined design that extends into the awe-inspiring environment beyond. The primary suite offers total privacy on the ground floor, featuring a decadent marble en-suite with Carrara marble and a luxurious dressing room. Three additional robed-bedrooms feature premium wool-sisal flooring upstairs, alongside a chic family bathroom and a third sky-lit living zone. Outdoors, a pavilion with a bar accompanies al-fresco dining beneath the draped wisteria, whilst a pool house with a viewing terrace and a lower bathroom sits within the manicured surroundings.
