Welcome to Windsor House, a timeless residence built in 1890 from 90,000 handmade bricks and proudly classified “A” by the National Trust of Australia. Positioned in the very heart of historic Walhalla, this is more than a property it is a rare opportunity to own a living piece of Gippsland’s gold rush story.
Set across picturesque grounds, with Stringers Creek gently meandering through the landscape, Windsor House invites a slower pace of life. Mornings begin with mountain air and the soft sound of running water, days are spent exploring Walhalla’s rich history and surrounding bushland, and evenings naturally gather around the warmth of the wood fire.
Inside, the home unfolds over three generous levels, designed for togetherness. The expansive open living and dining space forms the heart of the residence, anchored by an ornate wood log fireplace that makes winter weekends unforgettable. The full chef’s kitchen complete with 6-burner gas cooking, electric oven, combustion stove and commercial rangehood ensures catering for extended family and friends is done with ease.
Upstairs, five charming bedrooms reflect the craftsmanship of their era, offering character and comfort in equal measure. Two bathrooms, including an ensuite and a bathroom with shower over bath, comfortably service family stays. Beneath it all, a unique cellar carved into the stone mountainside adds both intrigue and practicality, while the third floor presents an inspiring blank canvas whether imagined as a children’s retreat, games room, creative studio or additional accommodation.
Separate from the main residence, The Quarters provides further flexibility with three bedrooms, open-plan living, polished floorboards and a striking stone feature wall. A private bridge even allows vehicle access directly to the dwelling ideal for extended family, guests or independent stays. A third standalone workshop building, partly transformed into a lined studio with a brand-new solid wood fire and ceiling fans, offers yet another adaptable space perfect for hobbies, wellness retreats or quiet escape.
With accommodation for up to 16 guests, Windsor House naturally lends itself to multi-generational holidays, milestone celebrations and long-table dinners that stretch late into the evening. It is easy to picture Christmas in the mountains, cosy winter gatherings, or summer evenings spent outdoors listening to the creek.
Offered for sale on a walk-in, walk-out basis, everything is in place to begin enjoying this remarkable home immediately. While it has previously operated as boutique accommodation and retains a liquor licence for those wishing to explore that avenue its greatest appeal lies in the lifestyle it offers: a private retreat steeped in history, surrounded by nature, and set within one of Victoria’s most captivating heritage townships.
Windsor House is not simply bought it is inherited, cherished and passed on.
