Last Listing description (September 2026)
Built in 1869 by the local community, Faraday School House No. 797 is a rare piece of Central Victorian history - one of only two Common Schools in Victoria constructed from locally sourced granite. Set on 2 acres, this beautifully restored property brings together remarkable architecture, a fascinating past and an unusually flexible collection of living spaces.
The original schoolhouse is the heart of the property, retaining its distinctive granite construction and a wonderful sense of scale. Inside, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area sits beneath a high cove timber ceiling, with polished Tasmanian Oak floorboards and a solid wood heater adding warmth and character. The contemporary kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a freestanding cooker, dishwasher and generous storage, while insulation and timber blinds provide modern comfort. French doors open to a substantial alfresco area enveloped by established wisteria and ornamental grapevine.
A separate 1980s granite building adds a private bedroom, bathroom with large walk-in shower and separate toilet. With a vaulted timber ceiling, brick flooring, French doors, wood heater and split system, it has all the ingredients of a comfortable independent retreat.
Further accommodation is provided by a fully self-contained cottage, complete with its own kitchen, living and dining area, bedroom with built-in robes and ensuite. The combination of spaces creates genuine flexibility, whether for extended family and guests, multi-generational living, a home business or potential short-stay accommodation.
Outside, the established and fully fenced grounds extend across more than two acres, with a 6m x 11m garage incorporating laundry facilities, a powered studio with deck, three water tanks, raised vegetable gardens, mature ornamental and native trees and a seasonal creek. It is a setting designed for country living, with room for gardens, hobbies, entertaining and enjoying the changing seasons.
Despite its peaceful rural atmosphere, the property is conveniently positioned for access to Harcourt and Castlemaine, making it an easy base for enjoying the broader Central Victorian region.
Faraday School House No. 797 is the kind of property that rarely comes to market. Its granite walls carry more than a century and a half of community history, while its thoughtful restoration, additional accommodation and substantial grounds create a property that is as practical as it is distinctive.
