Ensay South, (50K north of Bruthen, 17 K south of Swifts Creek) along the Great Alpine Rd is the tranquil setting for a large historic property that was once the Ensay South Hotel.
On 1.76 hectares (almost 5 acres) this fully fenced property looks down to the Tambo River that offers a refreshing swimming hole as well as providing the water that is pumped up to large tanks for domestic use. It’s a relatively easy project to collect water from the large garage/carport shed to provide domestic water.

The north facing verandah offers a relaxing area to sit and admire the beautiful gardens and hills beyond.
The hotel was first constructed in the late 1800s ( possibly in the 1870s ) and added to over the years and still remains , while a section was replaced in the 1940s. It was situated on the old Omeo Hwy and was a staging post for horse drawn coaches that provided access to the area.

The building reflects 2 different eras - early 1900's and 1940's. It has been restored throughout, maintaining many of the original features - e.g. pressed metal walls and ceilings, double oven wood fired IXL stove, wrought iron work, bar.
The rooms are spacious with high ceilings.
Large country kitchen, 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, large lounge in both sections of the house, smaller parlour, ladies lounge, and the bar room with cellar.
There is a modern garage large enough for four cars with a similar sized carport attached. Also numerous outbuildings.
This property has the potential to be a spacious family home, gallery, B&B, rural retreat.
There is the option to purchase period furniture that has been in the house for many years.
Inspections by appointment.
