Stawell VIC 3380

Currently used as a short stay bed & breakfast with two streams of income, this historically significant home has so many options. Set on a large allotment of approximately 2,500m2 of beautifully established gardens, the floor plan lends itself to many possibilities. You could live in the main homestead and operate the attached fully self contained "servant's quarters" as a B&B or alternatively you could use both the homestead and the servant's quarters as separate B&B's and continue generating a dual income. The home was built for Stawell's first police superintendent in 1869 and has retained many of its original features while having tasteful updates over the years. The main residence features a beautiful kitchen with granite benchtops, a 900mm stainless steel cooker and a wood combustion stove, a central formal living room, four bedrooms and a tastefully renovated family bathroom with clawfoot bath. The servant's quarters incorporate another bedroom, with ensuite and a lounge room with cosy wood heating and reverse cycle split system air conditioning. There is also the added bonus of a detached sixth bedroom located in what was originally horse stables. Outside there is a massive 15m x 7m shed with rear lane access that is divided into a storage area and a delightful entertaining area. The established gardens are watered by tanks with a 27,000 litre capacity. This property is to be sold on a walk in, walk out basis and will include everything required to continue operating as a B&B. Inspecting this wonderful property is the only way to truly appreciate all that is on offer. Do not miss out on this this truly unique property.
