HOUSE - Historical Australian Themes
The Mount Eagle Estate (Eaglemont) was designed by Walter Burley Griffin for Peter E. Keam, and was offered for sale from 1915. The estate was located in the eastern part of Heidelberg, overlooking Lower Heidelberg Road. Coghill and Haughton were the sole selling agents for the estate, which was offered at 20% deposit and 5-year terms at 5% interest. Set on a sloping site, the estate featured an irregular plan, with curving roads following the contours of the land and offering views out on several levels, and a series of public parks (Summit Park, Maltravers Park, Outlook Park and Eyrie Park). Substantial numbers of existing (pre-subdivision) trees were retained as part of the estate design. Eaglemont was the first of Griffin's estates in Victoria and the most successful. It was hailed by town planners and architects for its innovation and the high level of amenity it offered.
