Steeped in local history and proudly positioned with prime main street visibility, this exceptional 3.3-acre (1.346 ha) property in the charming township of Tooborac - home to the renowned heritage Tooborac Hotel and Brewery - offers a rare blend of heritage charm, modern functionality and remarkable versatility.
Built in the late 1800s and home to the Hagan Family Butcher Shop from 1920 to 1951, the property has been lovingly restored to create a distinctive lifestyle, business or multi-generational opportunity.
The original two-bedroom residence showcases the grace of a bygone era, sensitively renovated to balance period character with modern comfort. Original timber features and repurposed materials sit beautifully alongside modern appliances, re-wired electricals, updated plumbing, wood heating, and new roofing. The home's original cellar and charming house yard, fenced with heritage timbers, provide further nods to its storied past.
The Hagan Family Butcher Shop, built in the early 1930s and now beautifully transformed into a self-contained one-bedroom studio, seamlessly blends history with modern convenience. Fully renovated in 2014 with the addition of an ensuite and kitchenette, this versatile space offers complete independence - ideal as guest accommodation, a creative studio, boutique business or professional office. With its prime main street exposure, it provides a unique opportunity to combine lifestyle and enterprise in a setting rich with local heritage.
