Built in 1873, this remarkable home is believed to be the very first home built in Gin Gin, offering a rare opportunity to secure a property with a story as rich as the town itself. Over the years it has played an important role in the community - previously serving as a Telegraph Office, Post Office, Council Chambers, and the district's first school - and today it stands proudly as a beautifully liveable family home full of charm, character, and warmth.
Inside, timeless features shine through with timber floors, high ceilings, French doors, and classic casement windows, creating an inviting home that feels both spacious and full of personality. The main living area is open plan and airconditioned, flowing through to a rear deck - a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind while looking out across the acreage.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes including Essa Stone bench tops, soft-close drawers, a gas cooktop, electric oven, and a breakfast bar for easy family living and entertaining.
One of the standout features is the home's flexibility and comfort, offering three generous bedrooms, each with built-in robes, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, and their own ensuite - ideal for families, guests, or even multi-generational living. There's also an additional guest bathroom with laundry space, plus a bonus room currently used for storage that could easily become a butler's pantry or home office.
Set on approximately 3 acres, the block is boundary fenced and offers the best of both worlds - flat and usable at the front, with a gentle slope to the rear where you'll find a dam and creek, along with irrigation points around the property to support gardens and future plans. With established fruit trees including mango and guava, there's plenty of space for kids to run free, veggie gardens to thrive, and the chance to create a more self-sufficient lifestyle without giving up convenience.
Practicality is well covered too, with a powered shed featuring a concrete floor, lights, mezzanine storage and carport, plus a 40ft shipping container for extra storage. Add in a 4.8kW solar system, town water, NBN, and you've got a property that blends old-world charm with modern-day comfort.
All of this sits just 4 minutes to Gin Gin, making it incredibly convenient for school runs, shopping and daily life - while still enjoying space, privacy, and a true country feel.
A home like this is more than a place to live - it's a piece of local history, ready for its next chapter.
