Redcourt Mansion Armadale to be Restored into Family Home

PROPERTY INVESTOR Adam Garrison is believed to be the mystery buyer of a 14-bedroom “renovation rescue” in Armadale.
 
The co-founder of charitable restaurant Fifteen Melbourne – and until recently the part owner in Spring Street’s iconic Windsor Hotel – plans to fully restore the heritage listed Redcourt mansion on Orrong Road into a family home, a move which some speculate could cost more than $2 million.

Mr Garrison, who could not be contacted, is understood to have paid about $3.9 million for the Redcourt estate in April, far less than the approximate $8 million vendor the Victorian Government had anticipated when it listed the Queen Anne style mansion for sale last year.
 
Sitting on a 3,497 square metre block with a tennis court, servants quarters, coach house and pavilion, all of which are rundown, the 121-year old heritage protected Redcourt home includes a grand hall, dining room, billiard room, library, drawing room and attic, all of manor style proportions.
 
Bennison Mackinnon marketing agent Andrew Macmillan was unavailable for comment.
 
Amongst Mr Garrison’s biggest property venture is the $95 million retail redevelopment of Bourke Street’s General Post Office.
