On 9783sqm the property offers two homes with the potential to explore subdivision and really reap the rewards. Built in the 1930s and testament to the craftmanship, the much loved family home is mostly still in original condition oozing charm of yesteryear with decorative wooden panelling and picture shelves points to admire. There's two double bedrooms, office/third bedroom, character filled lounge with a sunny window seat providing serene garden views. There's still plenty of life in the grand old lady to be enjoyed for decades to come, but if you're seeking a canvas to renovate, or perhaps design and build an architectural statement, then opportunities don't come much better than this. You'll love the swimming pool and thoughtfully planted grounds that provide a series of beautiful outdoor spaces. Large shady trees along with an array of fruit trees could easily become an oasis of lifestyle living.

Adding to the attraction is a former railway shed utilised as an artist's studio, plus there's a large double shed, workshop space and carport, and open bay shedding for additional storage. Town water supply services the properties.
