Last Listing description (March 2025)
Rarely does an opportunity to purchase one of Blackwood's original goldminers' huts present itself. Constructed with original logs from the Wombat State Forest in the early gold mining rush of the 1850's, only a handful remain in good condition. This charming home is built around one such historic hut, with an addition to provide comfortable country living.
Set on a generous 2706m2 block close to the acclaimed Garden of St Erth, this one-bedroom cottage is the perfect weekender, downsize or tree change escape.
The historic miners hut has been re-mudded and had its ceiling fully timber lined and insulated, creating a cosy living area complete with original open fireplace. A generously sized bedroom includes a Novo wall panel heater and built in open shelving and hanging space for those with even the largest wardrobes! The galley style kitchen includes a Bosch dishwasher, Blanco electric cooktop and oven, pantry and loads of cabinetry for all your kitchen gadgets; adjacent to a charming dining area with banquette timber seating, Daiken split system heating / cooling and picturesque corner window.
An updated bathroom features a deep soaking bathtub with views of the State Forest, shower, vanity, and toilet tucked away from view. A Euro style laundry offers good storage space for all your cleaning needs.
Outside you will find a spacious covered alfresco area; the perfect spot to entertain family and friends or simply enjoy a sunny day with a coffee. The peaceful gardens provide a mix of beautiful established trees which include historic Oaks, Fir, and cool climate Rhododendrons together with terraced, manicured lawns with loads of space to kick the soccer ball or field a team for backyard cricket when guests arrive.
Secret paths wind their way around the garden, with a stone gas BBQ and fire pit area taking centre stage, while two small sheds provide great storage with one including a toilet and vanity.
Blackwood is an historic gold mining town, a swift 60-minute drive to Melbourne on the Western Highway. Renowned for its mineral springs and Lerderderg River, it sits within the Wombat State Forest offering loads of recreational opportunities offering bush walks, bird watching and trail bike riding for those who love to be out in nature. You won't go hungry with the main street presenting a range of foodie options; visit the Post Office Caf, Blackwood General, and newly renovated Blackwood Hotel.
