44 Old Main Road, Eganstown VIC 3461

This property has a rich history dating back to 1932 when it was built by a colourful character from Eganstown using handmade concrete bricks. Originally used as a dairy until the 1960s, it later served as a holiday camp for the family that owned the whole parcel of land from 14 to 44 Old Main Road since the 1800s. The property has undergone internal updates, including underfloor heating and tiling over concrete floors in 2010, as well as new perimeter wire fences and gates that were added in the same year. Services and infrastructure include electricity, NBN landline, and three tanks with a total capacity of 51,000 litres. Additionally, a heat pump for hot water was installed in 2021, and there is a wood fire for heating.

The property consists of 2 acres on 2 titles, with each title measuring 40 meters in width and 100 meters in depth. One of the titles, Lot 41, has sole access to a grazing license on a crown lease acre next to it, which could potentially be purchased from Traditional owners. The crown lease is on the corner of a public dirt road called Corinella Creek Lane, which is the continuation of Corinella Creek Lane on the north side of the highway. Horses have been run on the property previously.

The gardens on the property boast established fruit trees such as pear, plum, apple, chestnut, and grapevine (red wine), as well as a variety of ornamental trees, shrubs, and flowers. The property is also home to a diverse range of wildlife, including birds such as rosellas, wrens, robins (in winter), swallows, magpies, and crows, as well as kangaroos, koalas, wombats, and occasional sightings of echidnas and blue-tongue lizards.
