Magnificent Development Opportunity in a Historic Setting Envision an exceptional opportunity to transform the former Macedon State Nursery Hotel, an architectural gem dating back to circa 1869, into a luxurious 5-star boutique hotel featuring six exclusive suites. Built by James Nicholls and Eliza Weedon, the hotel was second only to the former Brickmakers Arms Hotel that James and Eliza built 10 years earlier. Whilst living on residence and raising their 10 children, they ran the successful guesthouse for 28 years. The property offers the canvas for a sophisticated development that includes a swimming pool, tennis court, and enchanting English gardens adorned with majestic oak trees, Japanese maples, and vibrant rhododendrons. Alternatively, the prospect exists to restore this splendid estate to its original grandeur, fashioning one of Macedon's most distinguished homesteads and use the existing plans to create a unique 5-6 bedroom / 5 bathroom family home. Comprehensive groundwork has been meticulously laid, with architectural drawings by ePlus Architecture including full construction drawings, (civil, electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic). Landscape plans by renowned designer Lisa Stafford, and planning permits in place to commence without delay. The original building boasts expansive interiors accentuated by period features, meticulously crafted brickwork, grand open fireplaces, French doors and towering ceilings. Additionally, multiple outbuildings, such as the original bakehouse and wine cellar, further complement the property's historic charm. This opportunity is truly unparalleled, presenting the chance to establish a unique destination within the Macedon Ranges—a region where short-term lodging options are in high demand for tourism. Conveniently positioned within walking distance of Macedon township, the train station, charming cafes, a supermarket, and only a short distance from the illustrious Mount Macedon, the property stands as a prime offering within this esteemed locale. Proudly marketed by the team at Macedon Ranges Sotheby's International Realty.
