With exceptional elevated views over Newtown Falls and the Beechworth Gorge, the original home of pioneer Louis Chevalier is being presented to the market for the first time in 25 years.

This remarkable property, with its Tuscan style private courtyard, comprising two separate dwellings, has been meticulously cared for and maintained with the combination of 19th-century Victorian features and contemporary appointments.

The main home, featuring original handmade red bricks, comprises four bedrooms. The largest bedroom is diverse, providing options as a grand master suite, a home-based office area or the ideal teenage hangout.

An opulent lounge with large double glazed windows overlook the garden. A magnificent central kitchen with a large dining area boasts Indian granite benchtops, a separate walk-in pantry and rich Jarrah flooring. The use of solid Ash and original Kauri floorings throughout adds to the charm.

The separate northeast living area with its high dado walls, four sets of French doors that lead onto the veranda, has sublime views over the Gorge, making the perfect place for sunset drinks. There is a medium-sized kitchenette, plus a laundry/bathroom with a spa bath. Upstairs is the King sized bedroom with dormer windows and en suite bathroom.

The second dwelling, originally a timber stable, and the birthplace of Bridge Road Brewers, is separate from the main building and has two bedrooms, both with built-in robes and one with sliding patio door. A curved zincalume ceiling adorns the large open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area. The bathroom also features an ornate timber vanity and a spa bath.
