Port Albert was the first major sea port established east of Melbourne in the 1800s. The town bristles with maritime, goldfields and squatting history and is growing in popularity thanks to this history and the town's proximity to Bass's Strait, Wilson's Promontory and its access to the pristine fishing areas of Corner Inlet.
Palmerston Estate, established on the 'high ground' on Port Albert's northern boundary, includes two buildings that served an important role in the region's development. One as the Palmerston Police Barracks (circa 1886), the other as the port of entry Immigration Barracks (circa 1856).
Exemplary of Victorian period architecture, renovation has retained the building's colonial features; triple brick, slated roofs, vaulted ceilings, colonial fenestration.
The Police Barracks includes: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 12' ceilings, functioning fireplaces, country kitchen, NE facing return verandah and french doors.
The Immigration Barracks includes: 2 storey, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen/dining room functional fireplace, substantial workshop.
The buildings are linked by and enclosed within a serene, walled, Italianate paved courtyard and gardens, providing total privacy. The whole is encircled by established trees, orchard and gardens.
Port Albert is ideally placed as a base for holiday makers. Coastal, historic, surrounded by the natural attractions of beautiful South Gippsland and nearby to other interesting, quirky and quaint country/coastal towns.
