WOODS FLAT OLD SCHOOL HOUSE
Unique opportunity to purchase a piece of Australian rural history.
Only the 2nd time offered for sale this double brick building served as the old Woods Flat School House in the 1800's.
Reportedly built around 1880 this solid home is on 2 acre allotment block of 8,094 SQM and is just a stones throw from Woodstock village.
Ideal for a country getaway and or weekender this property communicates history from a time when life was more connected to nature.
The home sits up high on the block and overlooks ground that in the 1860's was know as the Woods Flat gold fields.
The Woods Flat Gold Field was a mining settlement on the edge of Woodstock, the gold was found at Wood's Flat as early as 1868, after which a community grew quickly even though no large finds were ever recorded.
While a large number of diggers initially flocked to the area, the lack of significant gold deposits and water scarcity during a time of drought led to a rapid decline in population.
The settlement at Woods Flat was overshadowed by the growth of Woodstock, which flourished from the construction of a railway line and the discovery of copper deposits in the area.
The old school house is one of the only remaining buildings of the community that was once living at Woods Flat.
The existing home has been partially renovated with a country style kitchen and 3 bedrooms one with a built in wardrobe.
The wrap around front veranda offers rural views of the peaceful surroundings.
The home is comfortable but will benefit from further improvements to complete the renovations that have been so far completed.
The kitchen has been fully renovated and the home has been made comfortable with 2 split system air conditioners with 3 wood fireplaces.
The property has town water connected a lock up garage and carport as well as a new 10m by 9m machinery shed and water tanks.
If you are looking for a country home getaway and appreciate Australian history with a appetite for restoration this property offers you a unique opportunity.
