Lower Plenty

<html><body>
Yarrowee Manor, the Lower Plenty mansion where Prince Charles and Lady Diana partied in the 1980s, has been listed for sale for $6.5 million.
It was the longtime home of the late Victoria Racing Club chairman Hilton Nicholas, an heir to the Aspro pharmaceutical business.
Nicholas bought Yarrawee after returning from London in the 1950s. He paid £35,000 to Dr Waldron Davenport.
Nicholas ran cattle, cut hay and played polo in the grounds.
There's still eight fully fenced paddocks and stable accomodation for five horses on the property.
The American Colonial style house at the end of a tree-lined driveway was designed by architecture firm H.W &amp; F.B. Tompkins.
It has six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a wood-panelled study and a media room.
A formal lounge features a built-in pub styled bar and open fireplace.
It is surrounded by 8,090 square metres of landscaped gardens created by garden designer Edna Walling. 
On the property is a mod grass tennis court, a heated stone swimming pool, a pool house with spa, sauna and barbecue and a professionally equipped kids playground.
Yarrowee stayed in the Nicholas family before being sold by Nicholas's widow, Marjorie Nicholas, for $1.3 million in 1998.

Tim Cahill's next move is a step closer after the veteran Socceroo's Melbourne home sold, five weeks after its listing.
The Sydney-born midfielder, and Australia's highest ever goal scorer, is quitting Lower Plenty with a move to the United States mooted with wife Rebekah and the couple's four children.
Cahill says he may continue playing club football outside Australia after retiring from national duties with the Socceroos.
His Lower Plenty home was bought in 2016 after joining Melbourne City on his return from China where he played for Greenland Shenhua, owned by the giant property group Greenland.
Paying $2,775,000, he was seeking offers of between $3.5 million and $3.85 million.
It is understood the sale to a Brighton family was at the lower end of the price guidance.
It had been renovated by his interior designer wife Rebekah.
He seems set to retain the family's hobby farm in the Byron Bay hinterland which cost $1.7 million last year.
<div>Cahill, who previously owned a Caringbah South waterfront which sold for $5.7 million in 2015, still owns a Horningsea Park property in Sydney’s west which was bought with the family in 1999 for $260,000.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>ESPN reported he owns a house in New Jersey, just outside of New York which was bought when he played for the Red Bulls.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Football Federation Australia has given consideration to a testimonial match for Tim Cahill as they look at honouring the all-time great in front of home fans.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cahill was in Russia where his hopes of becoming just the fifth player to score at four different World Cups were dashed. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The 38-year-old Cahill came off the bench in Australia's 2-0 defeat to Peru in the group stages.</div>

Mick Gatto has sold his Lower Plenty mansion in Melbourne for an unknown sum.
Offers closed last week for the colourful identity’s <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-lower+plenty-123781578" target="_blank">multimillion-dollar abode</a>.
Barry Plant Doncaster East agents Adele and Sam Kocuk secured the sale of the sprawling 0.4 hectare property which was thought would attract about $3.8 million.
It last changed hands for $2.1 million in 2005.
There are two mortgages on the title, which also had five caveats when it was put on the market.
It is all very high security with burglarproof meshes, four-way locks and deadlocks.
