Mel Gibson’s picturesque country home in rural Victoria is on the market for $3.5 million
A ranch that was once the country retreat of Hollywood superstar Mel Gibson is now for sale at a price range of $3 million to $3.5 million.
Located in Gundowring, Victoria, 332km from Melbourne, the Mad Max actor, 67, sold the sprawling property to its current owners in 2016.
Located on 21 acres of land with a large homestead with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, Gibson lived on the property with his family in the 1980s, reports the Herald Sun.
Originally the estate, known as ‘Beartooth’, covered 809 hectares, but Gibson sold most of it, retaining the house, in 2008.
The beautiful two-storey main building is currently used as a bed and breakfast and opens onto the beautiful Kiewa River.
