The abandoned Mount Macedon Hotel, described by Macedon Ranges councillor Helen Relph as the soul of the mountain, sold for $1.74 million at auction on Thursday to a local who plans to re-open it as a drinking hole.

The pub closed in 2005 when its license holder Xavier David Holden was suspended for breaching the Liquor Control Act.

At 694 – 696 Mount Macedon Road, the 2.15 hectare property includes a hotel, accommodation sheds, a three bedroom home, and land for redevelopment.
]]> An original hotel built on the site in the late 1800s was replaced following fires in the 1930s and 40s.

However the Mount Macedon Hotel survived the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires, serving as a house of worship in the aftermath, when four local churches were destroyed.

Colliers International city agents Jeremy Gruzewski and Ted Dwyer, and Andrew Lewis from its Geelong office, auctioned the Mount Macedon pub for a receiver.
