48 Shaws Gully Road, Murrindal, Vic 3885

Nestled along the picturesque Murrindal River, Murrendale Park offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Gippsland's rich history. This stunning 187.5-acre* property was first selected and settled in the early 1860s by Scottish-born James Dickson. Known as "The Murrendale," it was the first block of land to be sold by auction in Gippsland, making it a cornerstone of the region's heritage.

The homestead, constructed from solid, locally quarried hewn limestone (18 inches thick), stands as a testament to craftsmanship and history. The homestead consists of 7 bedrooms with large, wrap-around verandahs, offering both comfort and character in one of Gippsland's most scenic locations. Inside, the home boasts unique historical features, including an original brick oven in the lounge room and open fireplaces in most rooms. The timber slat ceilings and iron roof, preserved in remarkable condition, provide a glimpse into the past while offering the comfort of modern living.

Murrendale Park's original outbuildings continue to tell the story of its past, including a garage with hand-hewn timbers, the old generator that once powered the homestead, and a functional shearing shed. For over 40 years, the homestead operated as a "sly grog" shop, acting as a vital halfway point for travelers making their way from Gelantipy and beyond to the townships of Buchan and Bairnsdale.

This farm is the last remaining parcel of the original Murrindal Station holding, a significant historical landmark in the area. It has been continuously owned and occupied by descendants of the original settler, and this is the first time it has been offered for sale. The property holds immense historical value and is a truly unique offering in the local market.

In addition to the homestead, the estate includes a charming schoolhouse established by local parents in 1939 and operating until 1964. It remains intact, retaining its original blackboard and has been carefully preserved over the years.

Other key features of the property include:
•	A large 3-bay hay shed
•	An operational shearing shed with yards
•	19 acres* of fertile river flat hay paddock

Situated at 48 Shaws Gully Rd, this historic property offers an unmatched blend of heritage, natural beauty, and modern functionality. Whether you're seeking a unique family home, a farm with historical significance, or a serene country retreat, Murrendale Park is an opportunity not to be missed.
