It is a rare privilege to present one of the King River’s, if not the wider Albany areas, most distinguished lifestyle estates — a residence of true grandeur, set within breathtaking, meticulously landscaped grounds.
Among the oldest homesteads in the area, this remarkable c.1896 property commands an enviable position opposite rolling farmland, with its stunning gardens cascading gently down to the serene banks of the King River, complete with private river access. The setting is nothing short of magnificent — a seamless blend of history, scale and natural beauty.
At its heart lies the beautifully restored and enhanced “Millbrook House,” a residence that exudes timeless elegance. Grand Federation features are showcased throughout, from sweeping wraparound verandahs to refined formal dining and lounge rooms. A charming, updated country kitchen sits at the centre of the home, while elegant bedrooms, a separate drawing room or library, and superbly renovated wet areas all honour the home’s rich heritage while delivering modern comfort.
The grounds are equally impressive — a true showpiece of thoughtful design and established beauty. Meandering pathways, flourishing gardens, productive fruit trees and vegetable beds create a private oasis, while a series of picturesque, interconnecting ponds — complete with an arbour crossing and decked platform — provide an unforgettable setting, ideal for photography or special occasions.
Complementing the main residence is a collection of versatile improvements, including a modernised chalet previously approved for BnB accommodation, a superb studio, a well-appointed games room, a classic Nissen hut workshop, and even two restored mini-golf holes — all enhancing both lifestyle and potential income streams.

Importantly, the layout and additional accommodation options also lend themselves beautifully to multi-generational living or extended family stays. Whether it’s providing independence for older family members, space for adult children, or a private retreat for visiting guests, the property offers flexibility without compromising comfort or privacy — a rare and increasingly sought-after feature
With Tourism zoning in place, the possibilities are as expansive as the estate itself — from boutique accommodation and private retreats to hosting weddings, corporate functions, artisan workshops or special events (STCA).
Rich in history, the property was once part of the iconic Happy Days Tearooms and Caravan Park, with the park still operating today — a nod to the area’s enduring appeal.
This is more than a home — it is a landmark property offering grandeur, lifestyle, and opportunity in equal measure. A place to live, create, host, and share something truly special.
