  • Amazing home built by J Torresan whose family lived in the home for over 70 years. The front gate has the initials in irons work of GT. Gino Torresan and wife Flora started making boutique wine in 1958 and lived their with their sons. They built up a packaging and wine business which continues today as a successful family business Torresan Estate. Gino died in 2000 and Flora in 2017. The house was on a large block of land which adjoined it and was all sold in 2022. Then the house became abandoned while the huge block of land had 10 small independent living houses built on it as a small housing estate. The explore of which will be in an upcoming video as these are now also abandoned and awaiting demolition.
    In this Mini Waterfall style mansion are Beautiful glass doors, frosted glass etching of lions on entrance windows, art deco port hole glass sliding doors, etched glass kitchen cupboards, Bakelite door handles, art deco cornices and ceiling roses and decorative terrazzo patio entrance and balcony.

      This was a stunning house that deserves to be kept for historical sake. Such a shame so many like this are being demolished. Thanks for watching, commenting and sharing mate, cheers

      Yeah wasn't it though. Looked like it was seventies downstairs and forties art deco upstairs, very odd lay out as well, such a rabbit warren. Thanks for checking this explore out, cheers mate

      This was another surprise explore and not knowing what I was walking into, I recognized the gates from a mates night explore and thought I would go in. Great to see some of the features in this place and be able to date them. Thanks for checking this explore out. Really appreciate it, you are an explorer that I have much respect for so am stoked you checked out my channel, cheers

      Sadly this is up for demolishing as the land value is worth more than a house these days. The next video house explore is next door to this and it is also up for demo. There is also a service station and ten self contained little houses that are going with this this big demo site. The ten houses video I have lost along with a heap of other explores I did last month as last week my phone took a swim in the loo and I have lost everything. Some places have been demolished and others I will be able to go back to if I can find them. I usually just find these places driving around and don't record the addresses. I just do a video and leave. So learning a new phone and finding places is going to be a bit of a learning curve. Thanks for watching and commenting. Hope all is going well for you and Bethany. This last week has been so full on, loosing the phone was the least of it. Glad this full moon is over!

      It won't be long till it is gone I recon. I came across it when i had an hour to spare driving past and recognized the gates from your videos and then walked up started the camera and had no idea what i would find. It would have been a great house in it's day, full of activity with wine growing and bottling. The research from Urbex indigo was a great find. The next two videos are part of this explore.

      Will do. Just a bit nervous going into these type of places, never know what you will come across so looking everywhere. YT has the feature in settings where you can slow the video down, if that is helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    • @Pocket-Watch
      @Pocket-Watch  Місяць тому

      Yeah i thought it was a really odd to have such different architectural eras in the up stairs and downstairs. The up stairs 1948 the downstairs is seventies but bad taste seventies. It didn't seem to have been done with any thought to adding to the classiness of the upstairs. I know that the place was part home and part wine business, even though, I would have thought the downstairs would have been done with more of an eye. Thanks for watching and commenting

      it does indeed however it wont get it as that whole corner block is going to be demolished for a high density housing development. This beauty will be lost forever. Thanks for watching and commenting.
