288 Nepean Highway, Seaford, VIC 3198

位于直面Seaford Beach的卓越地段，约3182平方米的“Stokesay”庄园，建于1922年，因其与Walter Burley Griffin对澳大利亚现代建筑的贡献而具有重要的州级历史意义。这座庄园自建成以来，第二次公开出售，完美保存且经过敏感地升级与精心维护，是一代人难得的机遇，得以拥有澳大利亚建筑史上的瑰宝，并打造一处真正非凡的海滨生活方式物业。不仅占据一线海景，还背面毗邻Kananook Creek，享有46.5米的宽阔景观，这里是该地区最美丽的自然环境之一。

由建筑师JFW（Frederick）Ballantyne设计，他是Walter Burley Griffin的徒弟，“Stokesay”是维多利亚州少数幸存的Burley Griffin专利Knitlock建筑系统的实例之一。庄园忠实复制了Burley Griffin的开创性住宅“Pholiota”的设计，拥有独特的金字塔形屋顶，以及围绕中央客厅的一系列周边房间。宏伟的开放式壁炉位于高耸的斜顶天花板之下的大型客厅内，五间主要的外围房间包括餐厅与相连厨房、两间宽敞卧室带更衣室、主卧室与相连休息室、服务人员房间和主浴室。

1925年，“Stokesay”被评为“澳大利亚最漂亮的住宅”，其精美的工艺体现在刻纹混凝土墙、原始配件和装置、手工制作的木材细节，以及独特的箭头形木制窗户，这些窗户与Toorak的Salter House和其他Griffin设计的住宅中的窗户相呼应。对于未来的守护者而言，这里充满可能性，可打造独一无二的滨海综合物业，直接通往Kananook Creek湿地区和野生动物栖息地的通道，享受海湾海滨的乐趣。

可能性包括：翻新现有住宅及其配备陶艺工作室和车库的成熟花园，或将其融入新现代住宅；或许，根据STCA规定，建造全新的豪华住宅。而“Stokesay”本身，可作为客人、姻亲或员工的难忘居住空间。

Inspect by Private Appointment

Positioned on a remarkable 3182 sqm (approx.) directly opposite Seaford Beach, remarkable ?Stokesay? c.1922 is of state significance for its associations with Walter Burley Griffin?s contribution to modern architecture in Australia. Available now for only the second time since its construction, the home has been impeccably preserved, sensitively upgraded, and maintained, creating a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a piece of Australian architectural history and create a truly extraordinary lifestyle property that maximizes not only its prime beachfront location but its 46.5m rear frontage to Kananook Creek, one of the area?s most beautiful natural environments.

Designed by architect JFW (Frederick) Ballantyne, an articled pupil of Walter Burley Griffin, ?Stokesay? is one of the few surviving examples of Burley Griffin?s patented Knitlock construction system in Victoria. Built in a form faithful to Burley Griffin?s groundbreaking design for his own home ?Pholiota?, ?Stokesay? possesses the same distinctive pyramid-shaped roof under which a series of perimeter rooms circulate around a central living room. The large living room retains its magnificent open fireplace beneath the soaring hipped ceiling with its five principal perimeter rooms featuring a dining room with adjoining kitchen, two spacious bedrooms with dressing rooms, the main bedroom with an adjoining sitting room, maid?s bedroom, and principal bathroom. Voted ?Australia?s Prettiest Home? by Australian Home Beautiful in 1925, the beauty of its artisan craftsmanship remains in its fluted concrete walls, original fittings and fixtures, hand-crafted timber detailing, and the beautiful chevron timber windows that mirror those found in Toorak?s Salter House and other Griffin designed homes.

For its next custodian, a range of possibilities exist to create a truly one-of-a-kind beachside compound with both immediate access to Kananook Creek?s 7.5klm of wetlands and wildlife and the seaside pleasures of the Bay. These include renovating the existing home and its established garden with potter?s shed and garage, integrating it into a new contemporary home or perhaps building a brand new luxury home (STCA) and retaining ?Stokesay? as unforgettable additional accommodation for guests, in-laws or staff.
