Property owner Judy Barrett re-listed the home with Michael Keating International this week.
The mansion was commissioned by a wealthy Englishman named Francis Gillet in 1865.
The home was built in the Tudor and Gothic styles.
The realtor describes the home as ‘more a chateau than a grand English manor house’.
In addition to the mansion, there is 30-acres worth of vines over three vineyard blocks which produce pinot noir, cabernet and shiraz grapes.
The vines are believed to have been planted by Franciscan friars who brought them from France in the 1930s.

The friars planted the vines when the property became a boys’ home during that period.
Ms Barrett revived the property after it was left in disrepair.
Wine is no longer made on the property but there is a tasting room where many labelled wines can be enjoyed.
