A rare piece of Bendigo’s gold rush history is now open to a new generation of residents, with Fortuna Villa Estate launching its new residential precinct in Golden Square, marketed by Buxton Real Estate.
The 79-residence development sits across 2.8 hectares surrounding the historic Fortuna Villa mansion, its gardens and ornamental lake — a site with direct ties to 19th-century mining magnate George Lansell, one of the identities who shaped Bendigo’s gold era.
Residences are designed to take advantage of elevated views across the lake, gardens and villa, with the development incorporating 7-star energy efficiency and solar as standard across current offerings. The estate sits approximately 2.5km from Bendigo CBD.
The Fortuna Villa Estate team is extremely proud to deliver on the estates vision with the first high-end home being completed by Todd Newman Builders who is considered one of the best quality builders in town. “This low maintenance luxury home includes a lift that extends the usability of the two-stories that has exceptional views of what is a Bendigo heritage icon. We look forward to someone making this their own brand-new luxury home and for them to sit back to enjoy these very special views every day.”
Buxton Bendigo Director Matt Leonard, who is handling sales for the estate together with Maher Real Estate, said the launch marks a rare opportunity for buyers to secure a home within one of Bendigo’s most distinctive heritage settings.
“With the first residence now on the market and more to come, we’re seeing strong interest from buyers who want something with real character, not another standard new-build. Fortuna Villa Estate offers that in a way we rarely see in Bendigo.”
Fortuna Villa Estate has officially launched to market, following an invitation-only preview event attended by notable Bendigo figures. One residence is now available, with further releases to follow.
