Steeped in history and brimming with character, this charming 1857 cottage offers a rare opportunity to secure a piece of local history in an idyllic riverside setting.
Set on approximately 1.86 hectares (4 acres), the property enjoys an elevated position with panoramic rural views stretching west towards the impressive Broken Bago Range. With Hastings River frontage and positioned adjacent to the popular Koree Island swimming hole, this is a lifestyle property that combines heritage charm, space and an enviable connection to the natural surroundings. The three-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage retains many of its original features, including beautiful 6-inch timber floorboards and French doors opening onto the verandah. Inside, the cosy dining and lounge areas are warmed by a wood fireplace, creating a welcoming atmosphere that perfectly complements the home's historic character.
A large front deck provides the ideal setting to relax, entertain or simply take in the ever-changing rural outlook, while a double carport provides convenient covered parking.
Adding further versatility is a separate studio complete with its own bathroom and kitchenette. Whether used as a home office, creative space, teenager's retreat, guest accommodation or space for extended family, this additional building offers a multitude of possibilities.
Outside, the property is equally appealing, with a fenced paddock suitable for a horse, along with the potential for stables or a substantial shed (STCA). The Hastings River frontage adds another dimension to the property, with the nearby Koree Island swimming hole providing a popular spot to cool off and enjoy the river.
