A grand 41-room mansion where the eccentric previous owner had a zoo and artificial lake installed is set to blow Balwyn’s record price out of the water. SEE INSIDE
Set on 5027sq m, the double-storey mansion featuring a ballroom was built in the early 1930s for chain store proprietor and socialite Oliver Gilpin who named the home “Idylwylde”.
“In scale and bulk it compares with Hollywood or Long Island mansions,” the Boroondara Heritage Review document reads. The papers also state that Idylwylde rivals the 3817sq m Los Angeles house built for silent film star Douglas Fairbanks Senior in 1922. Following Mr Gilpin’s death in 1942, his business was purchased by GJ Coles & Co Ltd, which opened Victoria’s first Coles store in Collingwood in 1914.
