Built in 1863, Pirra Homestead is one of the region’s most distinguished heritage mansions, having served many roles throughout its 150-plus years — from pastoral estate to community institution. Over time, the property changed hands frequently and its condition varied, but its architectural character and historical significance remained unmistakable.
A major turning point came in 2006, when Bisinella Developments purchased the Homestead. Recognising its cultural importance to Lara, the company undertook an extensive, careful restoration to revive the building’s original elegance. The work brought new life to the mansion’s intricate ironwork, grand verandahs and historic interior spaces, ensuring the Homestead could be used and appreciated by the community once again.
Today, Pirra Homestead stands restored and renewed — a landmark venue set against sweeping grounds and the You Yangs beyond. Its long and varied history continues, now with a renewed purpose as a gathering place for events, celebrations and local community life.
We are proud to partner with Truffleduck as the catering partner at Pirra.
