A CONTROVERSIAL property has come on the market, just two doors from the iconic Pole House in Fairhaven.
The 56 Banool Rd property is the deceased estate of former bishop of Ballarat (1971-1999) Ronald Mulkearns, who was blamed for covering up the sexual abuse of hundreds of children.
Mulkearns died in April and left the church most of his $2.1 million estate, which includes the Fairhaven property.
The Herald Sun reported in September the Ballarat diocese would receive the estate including the property, valued at $2.1 million, and about $40,000 cash.
