Statement of Significance
Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
Aesthetically, this homestead is a superior example of a Transitional Victorian/Federation villa. It is particularly notable for its decorative detail and cast-iron verandah, which is one of only two known examples within the Shire. Additionally, it is on a rise overlooking the main thoroughfare of the South Gippsland Highway, making it a local landmark. (Criterion E)

BELTRASSNA - Physical Description 1
"Beltrassna" at 8294 South Gippsland Highway, Ruby is an asymmetrical weatherboard Transitional Victorian/Federation villa with projecting gables to the front and side. Its roof is of corrugated iron and the main walls are sheeted in false ashlar boards. Other notable elements include:
- The return bullnose verandah supported on cast iron posts with a deep cast iron frieze, which is one of only two examples known to exist in the Shire.
- The three-part double hung windows to the main rooms, with scalloped frets below the sills. The exposed windows have window hoods with scalloped ends, which are of uncertain age.
- The projecting gable ends, which are bracketed from the walls and are sheeted in battened pressed metal (to the front) and in weatherboards at the side). The front gable appears to be partly covered at the peak.
- The chimneys, which are of corbelled red brick.
It occupies a prominent position on a gentle rise overlooking South Gippsland Highway. The garden contains a mature Magnolia Grandiflora.Heritage Study and Grading
