Steeped in 110 years of rich history, this iconic Red Hill treasure, formally Max's Retreat, masterfully merges timeless character with contemporary living, offering a life of ease and connection to breathtaking surroundings.
Tucked away on a quiet country lane, the property once served as an army training barracks before its transformation into a Girl Guide Hall, and now stands as a captivating four-bedroom retreat. The versatile single-level layout lends itself to boutique accommodation potential, with the left bedroom wing featuring a sitting room and sliding doors that reveal the north-facing garden, easily sectioned off for guests or extended family.
Each of the four bedrooms is a sanctuary of solitude, accompanied by an ensuite and private deck - a platform for peaceful moments amidst nature. Craftsmanship is on full display throughout, from soaring ceilings and Tasmanian hardwood floors to classic dado panelling.
The central kitchen balances form and function, complete with stainless steel appliances and a convenient servery window, well-considered for entertaining or relaxed family meals. The adjacent living room, enhanced by the crackling warmth of an open fireplace, exudes a cosy charm, with French doors opening to the verandah and surrounding gardens. Encircled by century-old pencil pines, maples, and vibrant Lilly Pilly hedges, the outdoor space is a haven of tranquillity, with various sun-dappled nooks to explore and enjoy.
A short stroll from Red Hill Village, The Epicurean, and Red Hill Rail Trail, this retreat is also within easy reach of hatted restaurants, stunning bay and surf beaches, and Red Hill Consolidated School. Additional features include wall-panel heating in the bedrooms and a dual carport, all set on a desirable flat 1,042 sqm (approx) parcel.
With its rich history and incredible potential, this home invites you to experience a rare blend of heritage and modern-day living in the heart of the Red Hill hinterland. Relax and reminisce in its storied charm or reimagine and renovate, this property presents endless possibilities and welcomes a new chapter in its remarkable legacy.
