'Alton' is amongst the finest Hill Station estates in Australia, surrounded by a garden acknowledged as one of the nation's most significant, Alton's history, status and renown are unique.
This exceptional heritage property's appeal extends beyond its reputation to fulfill its role as a uniquely welcoming family residence in which refined spaces for entertainment and enjoyment are matched by nine bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Richly original reception rooms, a vaulted drawing room of mesmerising beauty, a superb billiards room, a generous study, children's play room, kitchen/family dining, a light filled contemporary conservatory and a central scullery represent the stunning success with which Alton combines period character and modern consciousness.
The garden includes 24 National Trust recognised trees, stunning plantings of rhododendrons and azaleas, a croquet lawn, a charming folly, the most romantic tennis court imaginable, kitchen gardens and a vine house. Extensive garaging and two cottages are included in the grounds. To own this landmark estate is a privilege.
