77 Main Street, Birregurra VIC 3242

Before being acquired by the National Australia Bank (NAB) in 1918, the Colonial Bank of Australasia brought banking services to rural communities and one of their great legacies was the beautiful, architectural buildings they created to be seen as a pillar of strength in a young nation. An opportunity exists to become part of that history with the sale of this well restored property. Behind the solid facade lie both a practical, light filled space and a 2/3 bedroom, retro styled residence. Set on an 810sqm (app) allotment which includes rear access to a picturesque garden, this property represents an excellent opportunity for a couple who may be looking to retire from the city, and potentially run a small business in a popular rural community. Birregurra is very well located, being approx 90 minutes from Melbourne, 45 minutes from Geelong and approx 30 minutes from Lorne. It is popular as a day trip destination for its summer markets, the annual Birregurra Festival and the famous "Brae" restaurant, which was recently named The Age Good Food Guide's Restaurant of the Year. Inspection strictly by appointment.
