From Australia-Real estate agents can stop salivating because the Anglican church has ruled out selling or subdividing the Archbishop's stunning East Melbourne residence, Bishopscourt.
Last year the church voted to sell Sydney's Bishopscourt, in exclusive Darling Point, estimated to be worth more than $25 million.
One local agent valued Melbourne's equivalent at $20 million to $25 million. He said the 0.8ha overlooking Fitzroy Gardens with its grand 18-room, combined Italianate and arts and crafts house, ''has got to be up there with the best landholdings in Melbourne, or anywhere really, with its location and garden''.
But despite Anglican factions pushing in the 1990s to offload such an asset to fund church ministries, Melbourne Archbishop Dr Philip Freier says the place isn't for sale.
