Steeped in history and filled with timeless appeal, this charming Berringa property offers the perfect blend of character and country living on approximately 20 acres of cleared, usable land. Situated on the site of the original Berringa Post Office, which operated from around 1878 to 1955, this unique holding delivers an enviable rural lifestyle with space, warmth and functionality.
Inside, the home radiates charm with high ceilings, dado panelling and a straight central hallway that speaks to its heritage. The light-filled living area features a statement chandelier, while the updated kitchen is beautifully appointed with a quality benchtop, subway-tiled splashback, gas cooktop, electric oven, dishwasher, breakfast bar and its own split system for year-round comfort.
The home offers three well-sized bedrooms, each full of character - one with a cosy wood fire and another with reverse-cycle heating and cooling. The stylish bathroom includes a claw-foot bath, shower, vanity and toilet, while the laundry provides practicality with a benchtop, sink and ample storage.
Step outside to a large undercover entertaining area - the perfect setting for gatherings with family and friends. The grounds are equally impressive, with secure boundary fencing, tree-lined borders providing privacy and shelter, and multiple fenced paddocks surrounding a beautiful spring-fed dam complete with an island in the middle. The property also includes raised garden beds with fruit trees, and plumbed water from the dam via pump servicing different sections of the property. A large shearing shed adds further versatility for storage, hobbies or rural pursuits, and there is convenient side access via a laneway.
