Enveloped by the enchanting hamlet of Glenlyon, just 10 minutes from Daylesford and a scenic 90-minute drive from Melbourne, this extraordinary property offers a rare blend of history, charm, and versatility.

The adjacent butler's pantry, thoughtfully designed with an additional sink and laundry or refrigeration space, adds to the practicality.
The dining area comfortably accommodates an eight-seat table, while the lounge invites relaxation with its cozy layout. Hidden behind a charming bookshelf lies a secluded reading or workspace nook-perfect for quiet contemplation.
