Set on approximately 3 acres (12,000M2 Township zone)), this remarkable heritage property offers breathtaking vistas from sunrise to sunset, encompassing the lights of Ballarat, the serene countryside over Lake Learmonth, and the enchanting Aurora Australis. This is an extraordinary opportunity for those looking to complete its story and craft a dream home.
This charming residence boasts five spacious bedrooms, including a master suite that is currently a blank canvas, awaiting your personal touch to transform it into a luxurious retreat. There is enormous potential for improvement. An opportunity to put your own stamp on this project and finish restoring this home to its full splendour. Building materials are already on site to assist with this renovation.
The expansive formal lounge room features access to a return veranda, providing sweeping views through large sunlit windows and includes a cozy fireplace with a slow combustion wood heater.
The country-style kitchen is a chef’s delight, complete with stone benchtops, a large island bench with a breakfast bar, and a substantial walk-in pantry with convenient access to the laundry. Adjacent to the kitchen, the family room offers comfort and practicality, featuring built-in cabinetry, a freestanding wood heater, and doors that open to the rear decked area.
The generously sized bathroom includes a classic clawfoot bath, a separate shower, and a double vanity. The grand central hallway, extending 67 feet, is a highlight, offering access to the bedrooms, lounge, and the rear of the house.
Unique architectural details set this home apart, including original pressed metal ceilings and walls, complemented by polished timber floors throughout. The rear deck off the kitchen and living space provides the perfect spot to enjoy the views, while the front and side verandas offer tranquil spaces to unwind and take in the ever-changing scenery.
Externally, the property is designed with functionality and space in mind. A large shed provides ample storage for the handyman, complete with mezzanine flooring for additional space. The property is not only vast but also strategically zoned township, making it an ideal candidate for subdivision and further development and is connected to mains sewerage and features an 11,000-gallon water tank, with mains water also available.
The hero of this home is truly the spectacular views, gained from it's elevated position on Bankin Hill. Situated just minutes from the Western Highway and a short 15-minute drive to Ballarat. Learmonth is a vibrant community with a popular café, cidery, hotel, bowling club, and football and netball club, as well as Lake Learmonth, ideal for recreational water activities.
