The late Ian ‘Octa’ Wilson’s Mornington Peninsula home has hit the market with an estimated price guide of $6.2-$6.8 million. The Richmond legend passed away last year at the age of 91, leaving behind a distinguished AFL career in which he played 144 games for the Richmond Tigers and 13 years as the club’s president.
The Mornington Peninsula home is located in the suburb of Portsea, and regularly played host to AFL gatherings, according to Wilson’s daughter Caroline Wilson. “Dad spent the best part of his last two decades at Sahara Court, which set the scene for his colourful Richmond past, including regular reunions of the legendary Tigers of old,” Caroline told realestate.com.
The home is set on a generous 2238sq m block that features a swimming pool, sprawling lawns and a resort-style entertaining area. It’s also just a short stroll from Shelley Beach.
Inside, natural light floors the property’s open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. The main bedroom suite and dedicated office are located on one side of this space, while the further three bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and study are on the other, making it an ideal set-up for visiting friends and family.
With its rich football history and many family memories, this much-loved property is ready for its next era.
