“Better Loosen Up”
A Masterpiece

Those with enough years in their dish will recognise “Better Loosen Up” , the iconic Australian Hall of Fame racehorse that won the MacKinnon Stakes, the WS Cox Plate, the Australia Cup, the Japan Cup and many millions along the way.

Gabe Farrah, Albury’s larger than lifer business man, hotelier and punter liked to own the best. In 1975 he commissioned Elmes Elphick Architects of Sydney to design and build him a home.

“Bellevidere” sits quietly at the head of the Hamilton Valley, unobtrusive but confident that it is unique and unparalleled by any other home in the region.

A symphony of late modern architecture it is exquisite in conception and execution and timeless in its appeal. Every step is a pleasure to behold.

A few features one hesitates to mention as alone they seem so pedestrian but at Bellevidere are so much more.
Clinker brick construction via convicts in Darling Harbour.
Japanese courtyard and entry foyer with stunning wood floor with hydronic heating.
Master lounge with granite fire place and vaulted cedar ceiling.
Cordon bleu kitchen with multiple granite benches and butler’s pantry for a little bit of entertaining.
Tiled bathrooms and en-suite to dream over.
Alfresco dinning and pool deck with views over Albury Wodonga to the snow-capped mountains
Pool side sauna with internal access
Under pool deck games room and gym with famous pool window.
From every imported heat control window a view of landscaped gardens to soothe the soul.

Masterpieces don’t come along every day and they are tightly held on to. See your bank manager before you come and tell him he “Better Loosen Up”.
