Step into history with the extraordinary Vanzetta’s Pioneer Bakery, a heritage-listed property in the heart of Hepburn, offered for sale for the very first time.
Built circa 1892 by Swiss-Italian immigrants the Vanzetta family, this iconic building stands on the site of an even earlier bakery. For generations, it served the thriving Goldfields community, supplying fresh bread to Hepburn, Daylesford and surrounding towns by horse and cart. Operating as a bakery until the 1970s, the property has since remained a private residence — and now awaits a new custodian to restore and reimagine its historic charm.
Behind its beautifully proportioned façade lies a time capsule of country life. The original Dutch oven, proving boxes, and period details remain intact, ready to be revived. Adjacent to the former bakery is a two-bedroom residence and additional outbuildings, all requiring renovation, offering endless potential (STCA) to create something truly special.
Property Highlights:
- 880m² block, zoned Neighbourhood Residential
- Heritage-listed bakery with original oven and features
