Located 12km's west of Hamilton's CBD, this rare lifestyle opportunity combines historic charm, modern comforts and scenic views with two separate titles. The centrepiece is a beautifully maintained c.1930 Californian bungalow nestled on 8 acres, offering the perfect balance of character and convenient living. The second, smaller title-formerly the Bochara fire station features a substantial shed with power, a concrete floor, two remote roller doors, and an EV charger. This space is ideal for secure vehicle storage or a workshop.
Accessed via an electric front gate, the tree lined driveway leads to a welcoming four bedroom home surrounded by established gardens and significant trees-including a majestic 500-year-old gum tree. A rear orchard, once a commercial enterprise, adds charm and includes a massive Mulberry tree.
The home retains many original features such as wide hallways, ornate ceilings, fireplace and bay windows in both the formal lounge and dining room, offering natural light and views over the paddocks.
With four bedrooms there is flexibility to convert one or two into home offices. There are three modern bathrooms plus a separate toilet, ensuring practicality for family living or guest accommodation. Year round comfort is assured with ducted heating and cooling, a 6.6kW solar system, and ample tank water.
The country style kitchen features a slow combustion stove, dishwasher, and generous storage, adjoining a cosy sitting room with wood heater. A rear mudroom/laundry leads to a secure fenced yard and a concrete outdoor entertaining area, ideal for pets.
The property is divided into five well fenced paddocks, currently home to 17 sheep who keep the grass under control. Additional infrastructure includes various sheds, low-maintenance gardens, and a second EV charger.
This is a truly picturesque setting with space, functionality, and charming appeal - a lifestyle property that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
