This property that started its days as Nairne's first flour mill way back in the 1840s and has hosted many a community event since is today a family home like no other - and could be so much more on its spacious, tranquil parcel of land with prized dual access and a bonus self-contained cottage.
It was known as 'Johnson's Mill' in those early days and would later connect to the character villa that revels in its recent upgrades and sets the charming tone for a property that rises to a second level and reveals two kitchens before you even reach its historical rear.
In fact, if you include the two-bedroom cottage that could be the perfect income-supplementing B&B, there are three kitchens in total - and the option to create three homes on the one title.
If that isn't intriguing enough, wait until you see 'The Barn'; a rustic area made of stone and soaring vaulted ceilings, with so many colourful stories to tell as a performance venue, artist's studio, gallery, harp maker and luthier's workshop, wedding venue and more.
With exposed timber beams, lime washed walls, a stone slab floor, high ceilings, timber lintels, cedar windows, and French doors leading to an entertainer's patio, the home saves its quirky, character-filled best for last.
Elms, maples, gums and an array of fruit-bearing trees frame a backdrop that meets the Nairne Creek, changes its scents and colours as the seasons do, draws abundant wildlife to your doorstep and sets the magical scene for what's to come…
With so much history, charm and natural beauty, 'The Barn' will welcome a long list of different souls and endeavours. Could this be the ultimate wedding venue? Home to a gin distillery or brewery? Could it be both?
Point is; 'The Barn' is already something. It could be anything
