Mount Breckan, Heritage mansion in Victor Harbor, Australia

The Mount Breckan estate features a Gothic Revival architectural design spanning 19,000 square feet across 38 rooms on the South Australian coast.

Alexander Hay, a prominent merchant and politician, commissioned architect William McMinn to construct this grand residence in 1881 for £25,000.

The mansion exemplifies the wealth and architectural preferences of South Australian merchants during the late nineteenth century colonial period.

The property now functions as both a private residence and an event venue, offering accommodation services within its restored building complex.

The estate grounds incorporate European gardens, lakes, and residential buildings named after Australian artists within a gated community setting.
