Here   is a   rare opportunity for a  major lifestyle  change . For sale is   the   choice  above   property  belonging  to  a  Victorian   knighted  gentleman who  will  undoubtedly  be   further  honoured ,  albeit  belatedly , for   his  contribution  to  advancement   in   several   important  spheres  in  the  nation

 Set  on  almost  10 acres , at  Hurstbridge, 50 minutes from  the Melbourne CBD ,   the  house  was  designed  by  Alistair  Knox , father of  the  modern mudbrick  and  owner builder  movement  in  Australia ,  for playwright  David  Williamson ,  Don’s  Party  being  one of  his  famous plays .   It  was  bought from  Williamson  by  the  present owner ,  Pete Steedman , who  used  to  be  called the  Black  Knight of  Melbourne  because of  his  dress, including  a  black  leather jacket , during   his  very active and  controversial  days  in  university,  publishing   and  politics ,  previously  mentioned in  this  vice –regal  blog.
