Situated in the heart of the Golden Triangle in Central Victoria is this lovingly presented, architecturally significant, two-storey home. Circa 1886 – commissioned by Alfred Deakin when he was Minister for Lands. The home comprises four bedrooms, each with built-in robes. A family bathroom and laundry on the lower floor with the two bedrooms is ideal for dual family occupancy or Airbnb venture. An internal staircase leads to the cavernous family meals and dining area. The two upstairs main bedrooms have a full bathroom including shower, toilet and vanity, as well as a side entrance, study/office and lovely central passage.

The property has a full rear verandah and views of the neat, sculptured gardens, Colorbond garage/workshop plus a galvanised iron garage and workshop. Rear lane access and views of the river red gums along the old mining diggings and blue stoned lined water course.

In addition, there is the original laundry outbuilding and toilets that are functional but not used today. Neat, terraced garden beds and retaining walls, trees, shrubs and luxurious lawn. Town water plus poly water tank and 24 solar panels (approx 5kva).

The kitchen has a gas stove plus a functional ever-hot wood stove and lots of bench space. Period fittings and fixtures, shop and service area for the business complete the front of this substantial building.

Lifestyle, quality building and charm plus the option of continuing to operate the Australia Post Office (subject to approval by Australia Post and completion of 3x 2-week training modules onsite, in Bendigo and Melbourne). The post office, business, mini shop, fixtures, fittings and stock, if purchased, is $60,000. Freehold land and building $485,000 excluding post office business. You could choose to have the post office transferred to another shop in town and enjoy the ambience of the building as a country residence without running the post office.
