A medieval castle hits the market in South Gippsland

A unique piece of architectural history has hit the market in South Gippsland, with "Versace Castle" listed for sale with a price guide of $1,400,000 to $1,475,000.ย 

An extraordinary estate offers buyers the chance to own a medieval-inspired home unlike anything else in Australia. 

Set on 68 acres of rolling countryside in Woorarra West, Versace Castle blends old-world grandeur with modern luxury, making it a true one-of-a-kind retreat.

From the moment you arrive via the tree-lined driveway, flanked by Italian Pencil Pines and ornamental dams, itโ€™s clear this is no ordinary rural escape. 

A dramatic stone staircase leads to the imposing double-front doors, setting the tone for the architectural spectacle that awaits inside.

“The property reveals itself at the end of a winding driveway flanked by Italian Pencil Pines, tree ferns, and an ornamental dam,” the listing said.

Stepping inside, the homeโ€™s 3.9-metre ceilings and hand-painted textured walls transport you to a bygone era. 

The interiors are adorned with imported Italian stone floors, grand wall tapestries, and suspended light fittings, creating a setting reminiscent of a European castle.

The heart of the home is a sprawling open-plan living and dining area, warmed by a wood-fired heater. 

A chefโ€™s kitchen, complete with premium Euromaid and Smeg appliances, offers a seamless blend of form and function, making it perfect for entertaining.
