Musk Farm, the much-admired central Victorian cottage masterpiece, has found its next owner in pre-auction negotiations.

They paid $2.41 million.

The home was associated with the late interior designer Stuart Rattle when it came with a derelict garden overrun with blackberries on its 1.2 hectare parcel.

Rattle transformed the home before his untimely death, in 2013, with it then sold through executors for $1.59 million in 2014.

This time round Paul Caine of Caine Real Estate had initially expected a sale of around $2 million.

Stuart Rattle had actually been reluctant to buy the property in the late 1990s when he and good mate, the landscape gardener Paul Bangay undertook their first inspection.

He thought it looked like a municipal park with too much asphalt, but returning at twilight Rattle sensed the potent opportunity.

He arrived at the later opinion that the home was at its best in late afternoons. 

He created a compact cottage after installing lower ceilings and its paintwork created the rich, moody and broody feel that he had once seen at florist Kevin O'Neill's Mount Macedon retreat.

Virginia Bell, the High Court judge, has listed her Redfern home.
Over $2.4 million is sought for the timeless Georgian cottage, built in 1850 as part of surgeon William Redfern's original estate.
Occupying a 277sqm block on Pitt Street, the 1850s gem has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
In 1997 she was close to selling, but it was passed in at $636,000 through L.J. Hooker agent Menelo Migdalias.
Bell has McGrath agent Ben Forsyth taking it to August 1 auction.
It traded at $81,000 in 1984. Title Tattle seems to recall Water Rats actor Peter Bensley then had a stake in the colonial sandstone.
Having begun her legal career in 1978 at the newly established Redfern Legal Centre, Justice Bell replaced Justice Kirby in 2008, who had served the High Court for 13 years.
Colonial Dr. Redfern’s mansion at the far end of Pitt Street was demolished by the State Government in the 1950s.
