Overview
15 Costellos Road, Kilmore
Since the late 1800s, Carlsberg has been recognized as one of Kilmore's most prestigious residences. Originally described in an 1878 publication as a handsome 14-room villa destined to invigorate the district, this historic estate continues to impress with its timeless elegance, romantic charm, and grand scale.
The homestead is surrounded by expansive verandahs and features a magnificent ballroom, decorative fittings imported from America, and a European-style internal courtyard. These elements combine to offer a lifestyle that remains as grand and palatial today as it was in the 19th century.
Situated on approximately 8.46 hectares (around 20.9 acres) of gently rolling pastures and meticulously maintained gardens, the property offers a peaceful rural setting while being conveniently close to Kilmore township. It also provides easy access to Melbourne's central business district and airport.
Inside the residence, visitors are greeted by soaring ceilings, intricate period details, and polished timber floors throughout. The original section of the home includes a refined master suite with a two-way bathroom and the stunning ballroom, which serves as a remarkable space for entertaining or intimate gatherings. Three additional bedrooms and a large family bathroom complete this part of the home.
A library and study create a graceful transition to the modern living areas. These spacious dining and living rooms are filled with natural light and flow seamlessly into a chef's kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with granite benchtops, a walk-in pantry, an industrial-style island, and a 900mm Smeg range inspired by the iconic Aga. Built-in window seating with hidden storage adds both comfort and practicality.
A fifth bedroom with an adjoining powder room and an infra-red sauna is accessible directly from the verandah, providing an ideal retreat for guests or a separate home office.
The outdoor spaces are beautifully landscaped, framing the residence with lush gardens. Historic outbuildings contribute to the estate's character and charm. Beyond serving as a family sanctuary, Carlsberg offers exciting potential for future development. Its scale, grandeur, and setting make it well-suited to be transformed into an exclusive events center, subject to council approval, perfect for weddings, retreats, or corporate functions.
