Can you hear that? History echoes behind the walls at Farmer St – an ode to a bygone era reserved for only a privileged few. A pair of unique and special spaces that embrace one of Melbourne’s oldest and most loved industries, the stories of horse racing generations are woven into the fabric of these two exclusive three-bedroom, double-storey residences. Encompassing stirring original elements from the heritage-listed equine stables, enhanced with a delicious modern flavour and every possible comfort, the properties are an incomparable opportunity that may not arise again.

Tucked deep in what was once very much a part of Melbourne’s thoroughbred racing scene, the land on which Farmer St stands began its life in 1910 as a horse stable for the nearby Richmond Racecourse.

STEEPED IN H I S T ORY The popular Richmond Racecourse, a small suburban track that operated from the 1890s to 1936 was bounded by Bridge Road, Westbank Terrace and Stawell Street. Two rectangular gable-roofed stable buildings, as well as a central courtyard and the brick wall that continues onto Cutter St, have remained almost untouched over the last 107 years, maintaining substantial historical significance and forming the cherished centrepieces of this remarkable development. The property’s story did not end there, with a dairy, a painter’s workshop and Gold Seal furniture manufacturers making the stables their own from the mid1950s until at least the mid-1970s.

The embodiment of industrial opulence, Farmer St takes full advantage of the unique spaces and possibilities that a former stables environment offers. Soaring double-storey ceilings and voids and vertically suspended fireplaces offer a living experience of a size and scale rarely seen in Melbourne’s inner city.

Each of Farmer St’s spaces and elements has been carefully considered and uniquely appointed. Solid timber provides a rich and memorable foundation in the open plan kitchens and marble and stone finishes feature prominently throughout, while each of the three bathrooms have been luxuriously finished in stunning detail, accented by brass tap ware.
