Set within the peaceful Otway Ranges, this residence presents a unique opportunity to own a slice of regional Victoria’s heritage. Originally built as the Shire of Otway offices, the mid-century building has been refurbished into a character-rich homestead with multiple living areas and lush garden surrounds.
Positioned on a 758m² (approx.) allotment in the heart of Beech Forest, the home’s wide façade is framed by mature trees and flowering gardens that provide privacy and beauty in every season. At the rear, side access via a gravel road provides flexibility - ideal for adding a shed, building a carport, or creating secure storage space for a boat or caravan. Inside, the generous floorplan reveals polished concrete floors, exposed brick, original timber joinery and feature lighting throughout a series of warm and light-filled spaces.
An entry hall with clerestory windows and chandeliers creates a grand sense of welcome, leading into three inviting living zones - including a formal lounge with open fireplace, and a relaxed living/dining space adjoining the updated kitchen with 900mm stainless steel appliances. Four bedrooms include two with walk-in robes and private ensuites, while the family bathroom offers retro charm. Split system air conditioning, ceiling fans, a gas log fire and wood fire ensure year-round comfort.
A separate studio is perfect as a creative retreat or home office. Outdoors, the established garden features alfresco areas, ornamental trees and winding pathways. Just moments from forest walks, waterfalls and the Beechy Hotel, this is an exceptional opportunity in the Otway’s.
