Mt Bakewell Homestead is historically significant for the Monger family associations and is representative of an 1890s farm dwelling.
Located at the foot of Mt Bakewell at opposite the racecourse. Single storey with a high-pitched roof that extends over the surrounding verandas. The perimeter balustrade is masonry with masonry base pillars and square timber posts. The central (symmetrical) frontage has a sweeping curved concrete staircase.
In 1913 Mt Bakewell Homestead was advertised for sale: 615 acres with a comfortable stone and brick homestead of 7 rooms at Executors instructions for the Estate of S Monger. Edward Staunton Monger (1870-1936) (who owned adjoining land) managed the farm for his mother Mrs JH (Mary) Monger, after his father JH Monger died.
