Immersed in Beechworth history this remarkable property, situated on just under three acres, located within the 50 km/h zone, comes to market for the first time in 40 years.
A remarkable example of hand-hewn timbers and local granite stone has stood proud for more than 165 years. It is hard not to imagine our colonial forebearers gathering in front of the open fire relaying their tales of quest and discovery within this new frontier named Beechworth and its nearby goldfields.
Up until recently, the property has been utilised as a four-bedroom family home. There is a large dining area off the kitchen whilst a separate lounge with built-in timber bookcases ensures there is ample living space. A large slow-combustion fire, designed and built by Quadra-Fire, is sure to keep the cold at bay.
A reliable wood stove in the kitchen is now supported by a brand new gas oven, whilst the timber shelving was reclaimed from the former Melba Theatre (now the Odeon Theatre) in Melbourne during its refurbishment in the pre-war years.
Down below the cellar has to be seen to be believed. The stone is cool and soothing. There's even a small stage at one end for your musical performances.
In recent years a 5.9kW solar system has been installed.
The opportunities for this property are many.
With 21st-century upgrades, it can continue on as a lifestyle property as it has been – enjoyed by the current owners where they raised their children and delighted in watching them spend countless hours exploring the park-like setting of a rambling garden, along with adventures within the surrounding countryside and Beechworth State Park.
The property sits within the Low-Density Residential Zone (LDRZ) and has the option for further subdivision (STCA). The property is serviced by town water and electricity is connected.
