Timeless elegance, endless potential

Proudly introducing Cheltenham House, a landmark estate and boutique accommodation of rare grandeur in the very heart of Hanmer Springs. This is the final substantial landholding in the village centre, a property of scale, history, and possibility that simply does not come to market anymore.

Built in the 1930s and spanning an impressive 380sqm (more or less) on 3,298sqm of established grounds, Cheltenham House has been meticulously refurbished to celebrate its original craftsmanship. Period timber panelling, polished wooden floors, and opulent fittings honour the home's heritage, while modern comforts elevate it to an exceptional standard, including full double glazing throughout. The accommodation offering is generous: three large guest suites, two garden cottages, and a dedicated three-bedroom owner's wing, totalling eight bedrooms, seven ensuites, plus an accessible bathroom. The property is fully compliant and warranted for accommodation.

After 30 years of ownership, the current proprietors have intentionally scaled back operations to suit their lifestyle, leaving enormous scope for future owners to expand. The property is being sold with an extensive inventory of quality chattels ready to support elevated guest experiences. Additional features include a separate guest entrance, formal guest sitting room, a billiard room with full-sized table, an underground wine cellar, separate double garage.

Heating this substantial residence is effortless, with classic iron radiators, a near-new log fire, an open fire in the billiard room, and multiple heat pumps servicing both the main dwelling and garden suites.

With two street entrances and provisional subdivision plans available (subject to council approval), the expansive landholding offers outstanding development potential. Whether creating two titles, land-banking for the future, or pursuing significant residential or

commercial projects, the options are exceptional.

Cheltenham House invites a new chapter, expand the boutique accommodation, establish a wedding or conference venue, develop a restaurant or hospitality offering, or simply enjoy the privilege of a grand family home in an unrivalled location, just 200 metres from the renowned Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa. Zoned residential and sold plus GST (if any), this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a property of true presence and possibility.
