11 Frazer St

Daylesford VIC 3460

From its lofty vantage point, the highest in Daylesford, this grand, six to seven bedroom Edwardian residence commands views across the countryside to Mount Franklin and the distant lights of Castlemaine. With imposing chimneys, its privacy closely guarded by dense hedges, and a majestic date palm in the front garden, Hightor is visible from all roads leading to town.

Become the proud owner of this magnificent 1870s-era home opposite Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens. Lovingly restored and enhanced, Hightor lives up to its name, as it towers over the township. The main five-bedroom house and two-bedroom guest apartment merge original architecture with 21st-Century style, and the result is exquisite. Be captivated by the original weatherboard exterior with red brick foundations, beautiful leadlight, original sash windows, and Baltic pine floors. Wander through the garden and admire the stone-edged paths, grand palm tree and borders of screening trees.

Step back in time and imagine Victorian life in this extraordinary home, with a garden laid out by the designers of the neighbouring botanic garden, a wraparound veranda for taking tea with guests, and a cast-iron oven for feeding the family and heating the house. Fast forward to 2023 and there's an abundance of light, luxury and contemporary quality in the lounge and dining rooms, and the kitchen has a premium Falcon multi-oven range, timber benches, pressed-metal splashback and Bosch dishwasher. French doors, ducted heating and air conditioning, a glorious open fireplace, and wide expanses of decking add to its charm. The under-house two-bedroom apartment is ideal for self-contained living, bedrooms, bathroom, kitchenette, air conditioning, and private outdoor area.
