Formally known as Kinkora (the site of King Brian Boru of Ireland’s palace), Linford Park is a landmark property of Pakenham Upper, tightly woven into the social history of the area.
Constructed around 1887 by John McMahon, a Melbourne tailor and outfitter, as a country retreat; the property has had a rich and varied history. Set upon a very picturesque 18.5 acres with numerous, well fenced paddocks, permanent water from a spring fed dam and stands of shelter belts, the country style home is secluded amongst mature gardens and numerous orchard trees.
Through skilful renovations, the residence retains many of its period features whilst catering to today’s expectation of comfort and convenience. A superb living room with leadlight bay window and gracious mantel piece, an inviting eat-in country kitchen includes a walk in larder, three spacious bedrooms, box room, bathroom, study/library nook, laundry/mud room, covered verandahs and much more.
Outdoors there is covered accommodation for 4 vehicles, a 5 stable complex (plus tack/feed areas), a massive 14m x 14m lockup shed, potting sheds, and a 60m x 20m floodlit riding arena.
Versatile to the needs of the horse enthusiast and suitable for any other livestock, proximate to riding trails, pony club, shopping, services and public transport, Linford Park is also within easy commuting distance to the delights of Melbourne Town.
