Escape the busyness of life and experience the peace and serenity of Benambra. Located in the East Gippsland High country, Benambra is located just an hour away from Mt. Hotham and 20 minutes from nearby Omeo, while the property itself sits in the heart of the town and less than a minute walk to the iconic Benambra Hotel and convenient General Store! Its prime location allows this gorgeous, renovated cottage to offer a unique opportunity as a holiday home, Air Bnb or a primary residence with all the hard work done for you!
Once the local bank to Benambra, the gorgeous cottage was built to last, with beautiful ornate features, stunning Baltic Pine floorboards and generous proportions in all the rooms. The home has been lovingly maintained throughout its lifetime, with some modernisations to allow the living, dining and kitchen to seamlessly flow together and welcome you in with its soaring ceilings. The renovated kitchen still features an original combustion stove, along with a modern 900mm oven with 5 burner gas cooktop and plenty of storage and bench space to create a welcoming heart of the home, while the cozy living room creates a comfortable space to relax and unwind by the warm woodfire.
With such generously proportioned bedrooms, you could easily create a second living room, a luxurious parents retreat or provide enough beds to cater for even the largest of families looking to enjoy a weekend away! The renovated bathroom preserves the refined charm of the home while a separate toilet and laundry provide added convenience.
Outside you will appreciate the homely front verandah and side patio, perfect for relaxing and enjoying some quality time while still being afforded privacy from the street behind the established front garden and hedge. Behind the house, the original Benambra saddlery still stands, functioning as a piece of local history and secure storage, while an approximately 9x6.5 metre powered garage is the perfect spot to lock up and secure your bigger toys. The sprawling backyard features gorgeous mature trees, and a fully operational and well maintained Southern Cross windmill, providing access to soft bore water, a desirable and sought after addition, unique to the property.
