Sullivan’s Cottage – Same Family Ownership for 150 Years


Just 5 minutes from the charming town of Daylesford, Sullivan’s Cottage offers a unique slice of history with its continuous family ownership since 1870 and intriguing ties to the American Civil War. Once part of the bustling goldmining settlement of Eganstown (formerly known as Blanket Flat), the area was home to numerous cottages, 2 schools, 13 hotels, various stores, churches and public halls. Today, only a few of these historic cottages remain, each with its own captivating tales.
During the gold rush era, Sullivan’s Cottage featured a bootmaker's workshop in a room off the verandah. Local lore recounts a bushranger who, after visiting a neighbor, left the area unharmed due to the hospitality he received.
Adjoining Crown land and with a nearby creek, Sullivan’s Cottage provides modest accommodation with 2 bedrooms, a sitting room with an open fireplace, a bathroom and basic kitchen facilities. It was renovated in 2001, when electricity was first connected.
Although the cottage is close to a main road, it offers potential for further improvement and expansion (STCA) to suit your needs.
• Land area approx 2860 square metres, Farming Zone Hepburn Shire
