Auction Location: On site.

Rarely is a property with such depth of history offered to the market. Held by the same family since it was built c1880, this landmark property is in one of Maffra's most sought after locations.

Never before offered for sale, this historic property has been home to four generations of the same family since it was built in Maffra's early days.

The Redgum Palace, as it was affectionately known due to its primary building material, was built by J.W. Ashton as his family home. Mr Ashton chose the elevated Queen street site as at the time as it commanded a magnificent view of the local landscape.

The home itself is a four bedroom, single bathroom residence with an extension providing an additional bathroom plus rumpus or home office. Many Victorian era building features are present with ornate fireplaces, timber panelling, metal fretwork and pressed metal ceiling. The corrugated iron garage features the brick paved floor of the original carriage house curved by the traffic of 140 years.

Tasman Villa as it was once known, stands proudly on the approx 1010m2 allotment of land, giving it an elevated aspect from the street.

At truly the end of an era, this iconic property provides an astute buyer the opportunity to continue the relationship with the history that this property carries or to start afresh.
