Musashi supplements founder Tim Horewood is selling 65 South Rd, Brighton.

---

The Brighton mansion of supplement brand Musashi’s founder Tim Horewood has hit the market with $7.4m-$7.8m price hopes.

Mr Horewood started the sports nutrition and supplement brand in 1987 and eventually sold it to Nestle, with their bayside home used as an office at times.

Records show he and wife Rowena bought the four-bedroom residence ‘Gallia’ at 65 South Rd in December 2001 for $1.85m.

Built in the 1890s, Mr Horewood said it had one of the highest elevations in the suburb, thanks to its impressive tower which offers 360-degree views of Melbourne.

“Over the years, this area has seen significant development and regulations prevent building residential properties any higher due to the elevation,” he said.

“It adds a unique allure to the property knowing that its vantage point offers a perspective that can’t be replicated elsewhere in the city.”

He added that escaping from the “hustle and bustle” of the world was as easy as grabbing a couple of beverages and heading up to the tower.

“There, you can bask in the breathtaking views and feel the gentle caress of the warm sea breeze — a truly sublime experience, offering the ultimate escape from it all,” he said.

Ornate ironwork, reclaimed timber floors, crystal chandeliers and marble fireplaces are some of the manor’s charming features.

There’s even a trapdoor near the laundry that leads to a wine cellar.

Ms Horewood said the house offered incredible flexibility, whether it was making small tweaks or undertaking larger-scale renovations.

“It’s been a joy watching my little ones flourish in this gorgeous home, and having the freedom to update and redesign it multiple times has been a true blessing,” she said.

“It’s a canvas for change and improvement, allowing us to tailor it to our preferences and needs.”

She said the original owner was an apothecary and used the tower as a communication system for his product shipments coming from Europe.

The couple’s daughter Bianca said the tower held a special place in the family’s hearts, especially during New Year’s Eve.

“It’s become a cherished tradition for our loved ones and us to gather there, creating countless magical memories year after year,” she said.

However, Mr Horewood said it was just him and Rowena now living in the home, and it felt selfish for them to keep it to themselves.

“It’s time for it to be enjoyed by a bigger family,” he said.

Marshall White Bayside partner Ben Vieth said these types of properties were typically generational homes, most of them owned by the same family for 10 to 20 years, sometimes more.

He said it was very rare for a Brighton residence with this kind of heritage and history to become available.

Expressions of interest close at noon on Monday June 17.
