Overview
Set high on a picturesque hill in Taradale, this exceptional property offers a unique blend of heritage charm and versatile lifestyle opportunities. Spanning approximately 8,096 square metres over two titles, it is a rare and expansive country estate centred around the historic Holy Trinity Anglican Church and Sunday School Hall, both recognized for their architectural and cultural significance.
The centerpiece is the heritage-listed Gothic Revival church, designed by renowned architect Thomas Turner in the mid-19th century. Its soaring timber ceilings, original stained-glass windows, timber pulpit, and choir loft provide a striking ambiance that captures old-world European elegance, perfect for creating memorable events or a tranquil private sanctuary.
The adjoining whitewashed country hall, formerly the Sunday School, enhances the property's appeal with inviting timber floors and ample natural light, offering adaptable space for dining, celebrations or other creative uses. The property's flexible indoor and outdoor areas, including mature gardens and sweeping rural views, create a seamless environment for gatherings, from intimate weddings to larger marquee events comfortably accommodating up to 150 guests.
Located just over an hour from Melbourne and close to the vibrant Macedon Ranges food and wine region, the estate combines country tranquillity with accessibility. Its established reputation as a sought-after boutique wedding venue underscores its commercial potential, making it an attractive proposition for hospitality operators, accommodation providers, event professionals, or lifestyle buyers seeking a distinguished regional asset.
Whether continuing to host exclusive events or transforming the property into a private country retreat (subject to approvals), this offering represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a landmark Victorian estate where history, romance, and business prospects converge in a captivating rural setting.
