Mortgagee Realisation Sale. Built in the 1940s for the Jelbart family - importers of office machinery with a quiet passion for beef and dairy farming - Kinloch stands as one of Eltham's original landmark estates, retaining its prominence to this day. Originally part of an expansive 250-acre holding, the home was created during post-war material shortages, inspiring the Jelbarts to follow the example of nearby Montsalvat and construct the residence from mud-bricks made onsite, complemented by carefully sourced recycled materials. Rich in history and character, reclaimed timber from a grand late-1800s Toorak mansion features in the exquisite parquetry flooring and statement stone fireplace, imbuing the home with timeless craftsmanship and provenance. Today, the estate is set amid beautifully established traditional gardens, where manicured hedging, formal lawns and mature plantings provide year-round colour and privacy across an impressive yet manageable 5561sqm*, just moments from the heart of Eltham. A remarkable fusion of classical elegance and serene country-style living, the three-storey residence is crowned by a slate roof and showcases parquetry and polished timber floors beneath soaring beamed ceilings, beautifully offset by rich blackwood wall panelling. On the ground floor, gracious formal reception and living domains are bathed in natural light and extend effortlessly to enchanting terraces, where wisteria-draped pergolas create an idyllic setting for outdoor entertaining and quiet retreat alike. The first floor is dedicated to luxurious accommodation, headlined by a magnificent main suite with walk-in robe, marble-detailed ensuite and private balcony access, accompanied by two additional bedrooms, a marble-appointed family bathroom, and a further expansive living room. The uppermost level offers exceptional flexibility, comprising a guest bedroom, spacious retreat, additional library nooks and extensive storage. Complementing the main residence is a substantial outbuilding designed in harmony with the home, providing undercover parking for multiple vehicles, lock-up storage, and a large studio above - offering exciting potential for recreation, workspace or future residential conversion (STCA). *approximate land size Presented in conjunction with Morrison Kleeman Rocco Montanaro 0412 379 171 Lachlan Barclay 0417 660 050
