Set on an impressive 2.82 hectares (approximately) in the highly sought-after rural locality of Buchfelde, 32 Higgins Road presents a rare opportunity to secure a unique lifestyle property rich in history, character, and future potential. Offering a charming main residence, separate cottage accommodation, extensive shedding, established grounds, and significant historical features, this is a property unlike any other.
The main residence offers comfortable country living with three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a practical laundry nook. A welcoming front lounge room showcases beautiful timber floorboards, a combustion heater, and ceiling fan, creating a warm and inviting space to relax. The open kitchen provides excellent storage options along with both gas and electric cooking, while slate flooring throughout the kitchen and main living areas adds to the home's rustic appeal. The spacious master bedroom features carpet and split-system air conditioning, while the remaining bedrooms are also generously sized and carpeted for comfort. A mudroom provides additional practicality for rural living.
Outside, the home is surrounded by a generous grassed backyard, ideal for families and entertaining, complete with a covered outdoor entertaining area, carport, water tanks, and ample space to enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Adding exceptional value is the separate cottage, previously operated as a successful Airbnb and offering exciting potential for guest accommodation, extended family living, or supplementary income. The cottage features a spacious living area with split-system air conditioning and combustion heating, an open-plan kitchen and dining area with abundant storage and bench space. A study nook and day bed downstairs, and a closed loft bedroom equipped with reverse-cycle heating and cooling. Beneath the cottage, a large underground cellar further enhances its unique character.
Steeped in local history, the property was once home to renowned botanist Richard Schomburgk and features a substantial historical orchard along with a remarkable mid-1800s greenhouse. The glasshouse structure retains an interesting triangular form, with metal roofing and early stone and brick work in the base walls. This rare and fascinating feature stands as a testament to the property's rich heritage and historical significance.
With expansive land, shedding, income-producing potential, and a truly unique historical backdrop, 32 Higgins Road offers an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity in one of the region's most picturesque rural settings.
