Milieu, by definition, refers to the space or environment in which one lives or is influenced by. As a company, we’ve long been influenced by our environment, and we’re guided by a belief that our homes, neighbourhoods and surroundings aren’t merely observed, but are felt.
Elsternwick Gardens by Milieu is a new neighbourhood in the heart of Melbourne’s culturally rich south-east. Exclusively for residents, private central gardens flow naturally into the neighbouring Rippon Lea Estate and echo the beauty, calm and quiet of its historic grounds
