In 1838 brothers John and Peter Manifold, who had brought sheep to the Geelong district from Tasmania, explored westwards. They found freshwater at Lake Purrumbete and good volcanic-soil grazing land in the vicinity of Mt Leura.
Amazingly, what we have on offer here is a home that was built in the 1850's, part of that initial settlement, with shearing sheds intact from that time, a true parcel of Western District history that could be all yours.
Ripe and ready for new owners with grand visions to bring life back in, opportunities like this don't come along every day.
There is a covered deck at the entranceway leading into the living and dining area featuring quality flooring and a ceiling fan.
Through to the kitchen and second living area which houses a freestanding heater ensuring cosiness is never an issue in the cooler months.
The home is currently configured with two bedrooms, one with a walk-in robe whilst also featuring a sunroom at the back of the home.
There are two covered outdoor areas, both north facing, and one can only imagine the tales told and the laughs shared throughout the history of this home.
Dry stone walls, another iconic historical throwback also feature on this 4076 sqm property located just a stone's throw off the Princes Highway. Located just over 2 hours west of Melbourne, 25 minutes west of Colac and a mere 45 minutes to the Great Ocean Road and its world-class beaches.
It will be our privilege to find a new owner for this remarkable opportunity which could be exactly what you have been dreaming of.
