Tonimbuk: Luxury rural home with Olympic-sized horse arena is set to break house price record by $7m

May 2024 · 3 minute read

Live like a celebrity at an ultra private, multifaceted Tonimbuk home, slated to break the rural suburb’s house price record by more than $7m.

The luxurious, seven-bedroom pad at 115 Jolley Rd has been listed for $10m — a price point that would break the suburb’s record by $7.542m.

Found on a huge 17.81ha parcel of land, it boasts a number of glitzy features, including three separate residences, an Olympic-sized horse arena, tennis court and a children’s play centre.

The spacious main house comprises three bedrooms — one with built-in, double bunk beds — a sleek, designer kitchen fitted with black leather marble benchtops and Neff steam ovens, and an entertainer’s deck with a floating fireplace.

Meanwhile, the original 1980 farm house has been tastefully renovated to feature a spacious deck overlooking the tennis court, three bedrooms, a home office, games room and a number of living zones.

It also offers floor-to-ceiling glass windows looking out onto the paddocks, with horses seen in the listing photos almost directly approaching the glass.

The nearby “barn house” is perfect for guests, an Air BnB venture or teenage hideaway, comprising a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchen, living area, workshop and garage.

The property also contains an undercover outdoor entertaining area, described as the “stone house”, which has a fire pit, kitchenette, toilet and plenty of room for outdoor couches and barbecue equipment.

Whitefox Prahran adviser James Hallahan said he had received good interest in the home since it was listed last week.

“It’s perfect for a big family with kids or grandkids … I think it would suit a family who are looking to move there permanently or just have it as a family escape” he said.

“The Olympic-sized horse arena is not something a lot of properties have and (the home) is extremely private.”

Expressions of interest for the luxe property close on September 28 and private inspections are available by appointment.

The current Tonimbuk record is held by the $2.458m sale of 445 Ellis Rd in 2009.
