Ravenswood, the former Victoria country getaway of Offspring star Asher Keddie and her husband, Archibald Prize-winning artist Vincent Fantauzzo, is back up for sale just over two years after they sold it.
Keddie and Fantuazzo secured their sale in late 2017. Now the 43 hectare farm is up for sale at $2.45 million.
There's been no updates to the Hesket property in the Macedon Ranges north of Melbourne.
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-hesket-130865634" target="_blank">The Scandinavian style residence</a> has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. A lake, two dams, a spring fed mountain creek and original shedding amid old yards and English trees feature in the grounds.
The property also lends itself to equine interests, with an original stable complex and tack room.
Keatings Real Estate Woodend agent Sandi Barry-Mueller, who sold the home for Keddie and Fantauzzo, is the listing agent again.
