The Yandoit General Store, 34 High Street in Yandoit

A unique opportunity to own the Yandoit General Store
At the centre of the historic Yandoit township lies the old general store & residence. Situated on multiple historic titles, including the paddock adjoining, this property is looking for a new owner with a vision to restore and develop this extraordinary historic property.

Built circa 1860, this property functioned as the store and post office for the thriving Goldfields community until its closure almost 100 years later when it reverted to a home for descendants of Tom Goats, only the second owners. A ‘modern’ kitchen and bathroom were added in the 1970s, but little has changed here, making this a rare architectural and cultural time capsule.

Behind the store and residence, there are all the features of a historic rural property you could wish for. The rude timber livestock shed is a wonder, with many additional sheds, garages and workshops for all your storage and working farm needs. There are 6 water tanks and an additional garage on the paddock adjoining, which would suit small-scale agriculture or livestock.

Whatever ambitions you might have for this property, be it tourist retreat, hospitality or your own country escape, the bucolic views from the front verandah in the tightly held and picturesque hamlet of Yandoit make this a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
