Step back in time with the charm and character of the Glendaruel Post Office & Miners' Cottage, a captivating piece of history dating back to the 1850s. Preserving its historic values and integrity, this property offers a nostalgic glimpse into traditional country living while ensuring modern comfort. Nestled in park-like gardens and bordered by the tranquil Coghills Creek, it's a unique opportunity to own a slice of the past in the tightly held hamlet of Glendaruel, where convenience meets privacy with this residence, located just a 25-minute drive to Ballarat, 10 minutes to Clunes, and a quick 15 minutes to the Western Freeway via Miners Rest.
The formal front entrance sets the tone, leading you through a hallway flanked by bedrooms into a lounge adorned with a cozy wood fire and spit system. The traditional kitchen, complete with an old combustion stove and a walk-in pantry formerly part of the Glendaruel post office, exudes warmth. Beautiful polished floorboards and open fireplaces contribute to the overall charm.
Beyond the main dwelling, discover an additional two-bedroom studio—ideal for accommodating short or long-stay guests, serving as a granny flat, a teenage retreat, or even an art studio. Two split systems ensure year-round comfort.
Situated on just under 4 acres of land, the property features cleared garden areas, two grazing paddocks, and an array of mature trees, including fruit trees. The new septic treatment plant and ample water supply with a 55,000-liter tank capacity and a 60-foot water bore provide a solid foundation and infrastructure.
Bordering Coghills Creek (with a pumping license), this property also boasts additional shedding (rude timber) and a garage with direct access to the house. With two fenced paddocks currently grazed by the farm’s sheep as well as a chook run that enhances the property's unique appeal and a location that captures the essence of rural tranquility and sustainability. Whether this is your tree change, holiday house or next permanent home this property is sure to generate significant interest.
