Set amongst the beautiful countryside of Burragate, surrounded by established gardens, rolling rural scenery and the peaceful sounds of nature, The Old Burragate Post Office presents a truly special "package" of local history while embracing a relaxed country lifestyle.
Originally built in the early 1900s, this charming north-facing four-bedroom home carries with it a wonderful sense of character and history. Rich in personality, the home blends its original country charm with practical modern comforts, creating a welcoming escape from the busyness of everyday life. Whether you're dreaming of a quieter pace, a more self-sufficient lifestyle or simply somewhere special to call home, this property offers plenty of possibilities.
Inside, the home features four bedrooms, one bathroom and inviting country-style character, with both an electric stove and traditional combustion stove adding to its appeal. A large walk-in pantry provides excellent storage and practicality, while an upgraded hot water system is another welcome improvement. There is a lovely connection between the home, its gardens and the surrounding landscape, making it easy to imagine slow mornings, afternoons spent outdoors and evenings enjoying the tranquillity of country living.
Set across approximately 1.7 hectares (just over 4 acres), the property offers an ideal balance of usable land and manageable acreage. The gently undulating to predominantly level grounds are fully fenced and divided into paddocks, providing an excellent setup for sheep or other small livestock. There is also a dedicated chicken coop, making it easy to enjoy fresh eggs each morning, along with a generous enclosed garden area ready for growing your own vegetables, herbs and seasonal produce.
For those with a creative side, the property also features a separate studio with a pottery kiln, offering an inspiring space for hobbies, artistic pursuits or a home-based creative venture. A further separate building provides additional flexibility, with the potential to explore conversion into a granny flat or guest accommodation, subject to the necessary approvals. Whether you need room for extended family, visiting friends or simply a little extra space, there is plenty of opportunity to make this property your own.
The established gardens are a real highlight, with beautiful greenery, productive spaces and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. There is something particularly special about this setting, where the changing seasons bring new colours and life to the gardens, the surrounding bushland provides a scenic backdrop and the night skies offer a spectacular opportunity for stargazing.
Location is another wonderful part of the story. The Towamba River is only a few hundred metres down the road, providing a beautiful nearby spot to enjoy a swim, explore the riverbanks or simply spend a lazy afternoon surrounded by nature. The village of Wyndham is approximately 15km away for general supplies and everyday essentials, while the coastal townships of Pambula and Merimbula are approximately 35km away via the sealed road.
With its fascinating history, productive gardens, fenced paddocks, creative spaces and beautiful rural surrounds, The Old Burragate Post Office is much more than just a home. It is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with nature and create a lifestyle that is entirely your own.
A manageable country escape, a little piece of history and a whole lot of opportunity – The Old Burragate Post Office is ready for its next chapter. Contact Hayden now to inspect; you might just get a letter to say it's yours!
