1308 Mirboo North-Trafalgar Road, Thorpdale VIC 3835

Be captivated by the beauty of this charming circa 1875 residence set upon acreage in the scenic township of Thorpdale, Gippsland. Lovingly restored to its former glory as well as being upgraded to suit the modern lifestyle, this magnificent home stays true to the architecture of the original building. This property is sure to stand the test of time with its timeless façade and fixtures. Once known as the Railway School in Thorpdale from 1895 to 1920, the home historically known as 'Minnehaha', is immersed in history.

Entering the home, meticulous care and thought has been put into providing spaces to entertain, relax and simply enjoy the historic atmosphere. There are 5 bedrooms in the home with the option of using the study as a 6th. A large sunroom floods the home with beautiful natural warmth and light. There is a mixture of formal and informal living rooms with the central room (the original main schoolroom), featuring 13' high ceilings. Three of the bedrooms are accessed via two lovely staircases, with two balconies off these rooms. The remaining two, and the study, are all downstairs and easily accessible. From the leadlight windows to the ornate styling, it is so easy to fall in love with the home.

Outside the home, grand old established trees stand tall with cottage style gardens adding character and charm. Former vegetable beds and fruits trees also add to what is the ideal country property. A 10kw solar system is connected and helps in reducing power costs.

Positioned privately back from the main road, this 8-acre property is ideal for those wanting a tree change to a picturesque and welcoming country town. With rich red soil, Thorpdale is known for the high-quality vegetables grown in the area and this property is no exception. The owners used to grow certified organic seasonal produce that they would sell from their 'Little Green Shed' by the roadside. It quickly became a local gem with people coming from far and wide to purchase produce. Water for the property is supplied by a 92,000-litre rainwater tank for the house supply, a bore with a 10 megalitre water licence in place plus 1 megalitre licensed Stock & Domestic water. Irrigation systems have been set up around the property to allow for easy irrigation of produce.

There is an abundance of shedding on the property that caters for a multitude of uses. Another great feature is an old cottage on the property that is in need of renovation; however, this creates an opportunity for a second dwelling, subject to council approval.

A property that is truly worth an inspection. The property will be auctioned on Saturday the 26th of March onsite at 11 am unless sold prior. Contact Nicole Lancey or John Rowe for further information.
