Last Listing description (February 2026)
This rare and remarkable Late Victorian home-commissioned in the 1890s by prominent draper, businessman and land speculator Albert Wilson Salter-stands as one of Ballan's most substantial surviving period residences. Reflecting the confidence and growth of the township as the railway transformed the area into a thriving agricultural hub, the property later became the official residence of Ballan's stationmaster, further embedding it in the heart of local history.
Sensitively updated over time, the exterior proudly showcases its original character, complete with a striking hipped and gabled roof, elegant front verandah, ornate timber details and classic brick chimneys. Authentic features such as double-hung windows, decorative gable trusses, timber architraves and beautifully moulded period finishes highlight the home's architectural integrity and enduring charm.
Inside, 3.6-metre pressed metal ceilings, Baltic pine floors and ornate fireplace surrounds create an immediate sense of grandeur. The lounge, dining and music rooms open through French doors to the flower-filled garden, complemented by generous double-backed curtains for added elegance and privacy. Throughout the home, regency-joint lining boards, 1300mm high dados to the impressive hallway and the bathroom, and stunning 4-panelled period doors-some with stained glass-enhance the timeless appeal. The spacious bathroom features a traditional marble-top washstand and a classic claw foot bath.
Stepping outside reveals a private garden wonderland of roses, manicured hedges, and abundant vegetables. A fountain sets a tranquil tone near charming children's features including swings, a sandpit and a delightful treehouse with a viewing platform overlooking passing trains. Extensive vegetable beds sit alongside a large greenhouse, three compost heaps, a woodshed and the original dairy shed. Generous decking leads to a secluded courtyard with a fire pit pedestal, two-tiered fountain, fishpond, citrus grove, and a lush feature wall.
Modern comforts blend seamlessly with the home's heritage character. Features include a Sanden 4.5 kW heat pump hot water service with 315-litre tank, ducted gas heating to the east wing, gas log heating in the lounge and music rooms, a Morso wood heater, and a traditional IXL double wood oven still in working condition. The studio is heated and cooled by an air conditioner. Additional updates include 4 kW solar with Sunny Boy inverter, town gas, and water, two water tanks with taps to the kitchen and garden, and a DeLonghi gas cooktop with electric oven installed in 2022.
Set on approximately a quarter-acre and complete with a single garage, this much-loved family residence-cherished for over 25 years-is ready to embrace its next chapter.
