We are thrilled to announce the successful sale of ‘Tonimbuk House’ located at 50 Topp Road, Tonimbuk.
A property that beautifully encapsulates both history and modern living ‘Tonimbuk House’ is nestled on an elevated plateau with breathtaking panoramic vistas toward the Bunyip State Park. This Victorian homestead has now found its new owners with help from the exceptional efforts of First National Real Estate Neilson Partners Pakenham agent, Matt Clark and his team.
Victorian Homestead Rich In History
Constructed circa 1895 by Melbourne saddle maker Daniel Topp and his wife Sarah, ‘Tonimbuk House’ is a remarkable Victorian homestead constructed of sturdy red bricks handmade on-site and it remains one of the oldest homes still standing in the area.
Sweeping views towards Bunyip State Park
Originally spanning a sprawling 585-acre estate known as ‘Woodlands’, today ‘Tonimbuk House’ offers a substantial 57.5 acres of prime land overlooking rolling hills and showcasing an elevated frontage, gently sloping down to picturesque pastures bordered by established plantings which reflect the tireless work of Vendors Lindsay and Ros McNaught who owned the property for almost a third of its 130 years.

A Perfect Blend of Traditional Charm and Modern Functionality
‘’Tonimbuk Houses charm lies in its perfect blend of traditional grandeur and modern functionality’, says selling agent Matt Clark.
The residence boasts soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork including plaster cherubs in the hallway, 4 marble fireplaces that were transported by horse and cart, vintage-style pendant lights, and heritage fittings. The north-facing wrap-around veranda provides stunning views and is perfect for enjoying the serene landscape.

A Sustainable Lifestyle and Critical Bio link
‘Tonimbuk House’ is not only beautiful and rich in history but also sustainability.
The property benefits from a 4.5kW solar panel system, enclosed orchard, and vegetable garden and an impressive 90,000 litres of tank water.
Further enhancements include a solar-heated pool, a manicured croquet lawn, a manager's cottage, dams, machinery shed, cattle yards and a cellar under the home.

The Vendors have also revegetated the landscape over the years and created a sanctuary that is critically important to wildlife in the area, so much so that it has been recognised by government bodies as a critical ‘bio link’ between Cannibal Creek and Bunyip State Park.
