Welcome to 2100 Castra Road, Castra - a property that combines rich history with endless possibilities. Originally built in 1920 and formerly the Castra Post Office, this remarkable estate spans 3.75 hectares and offers an incredible opportunity to own a significant piece of Ulverstone's heritage.
At the heart of the property is the expansive garage and workshop, an impressive structure with a history as unique as its design. Covering an extraordinary 504m² of internal floor space, this building was originally constructed at the Ulverstone railway station as a train shed before being deconstructed and relocated to its current site. Capable of housing a wide range of vehicles, including trucks, bikes, and machinery, the garage features a commercial-style kitchen complete with a combustion stove and plumbing ready for full operational use. The space also includes a café area, a bathroom with a shower-over-bath, toilet, and vanity, an upstairs office, and multiple access points secured by an integrated alarm system. With some of its timber components over 100 years old, this garage is as functional as it is historically significant.
The main residence exudes charm and character, showcasing timeless design elements like pressed tin ceilings and beautiful timber accents. The layout is warm and inviting, featuring an open-plan living and dining area that creates a central hub for family life. The kitchen has been updated to include a wall oven, four-burner electric cooktop, and range hood, while the family bathroom offers a shower-over-bath, toilet, and vanity. A large pantry and storage area seamlessly flow into a spacious family lounge or sunroom, providing a versatile space for relaxation or entertaining. With three generously sized bedrooms, the home offers comfort and practicality in equal measure.
Adding to the property's appeal is a secondary garage setup, which includes a single-car garage, an 8.5m x 9m workshop, and a 5.2m x 6.1m dual carport. The established gardens surrounding the home create a serene and picturesque setting. The property's water needs are well-supported by two dams, one of which is spring-fed while the other serves as a catchment system. A well and rainwater tanks provide a reliable and sustainable water supply for the household.
This unique property seamlessly blends historical significance with modern amenities, making it ideal for families, history enthusiasts, or those seeking a space that offers both functionality and character.
