A fantastic opportunity to rekindle a bygone era with this charming and historic piece of Australian architecture, situated in the village of Billinudgel within the Byron Shire. Built around 1920 by Wilfred O'Connor, a well-known local figure, the home reflects classic Australian homestead design and utilizes locally sourced materials, including Tallowwood and Teak timber from the Billinudgel Valley.
The home was thoughtfully constructed to accommodate two separate dwellings, each with its own water and electricity meters, allowing for two distinct households to reside comfortably. This arrangement offers versatility for extended families or those seeking a multi-generational living situation.
The property's connection to local town water and sewage systems adds convenience and modern amenities to its classic charm. The sweeping views from the home, which capture vistas of Billinudgel village, the surrounding hinterland, and the lush green countryside, make it a picturesque and serene place to reside.
Billinudgel's historic village setting provides easy access to essential amenities such as the general store, the iconic Billinudgel pub, and the post office, all of which are within walking distance. Additionally, the property's location is favourable for those who wish to explore nearby attractions, including beaches, galleries, and the famous Byron Bay, which is approximately 20 minutes away by car. For those needing to travel further, the Gold Coast International Airport is conveniently situated approximately 33 minutes' drive from the property.
Overall, this property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of Australian history, with its classic architecture, connection to local heritage, and its potential for multi-dwelling living arrangements. It combines the charm of a bygone era with modern amenities and a convenient location for exploring both local attractions and neighbouring regions.
Priced to Sell this property is an amazing legacy for the new custodian.
