The original part of the house is heritage listed and formerly a gold counting house and It is still possible to run a small business from this home. The comfortable and cosy cottage has a flexible floor plan that allows for many different usages. There are 4 bedrooms plus a study, the large farmhouse kitchen makes an ideal focal point with the open plan living and dining room. In the original cottage are 2 bedrooms and a lounge room that could be used as offices and waiting room, craft shop. retail space or consulting rooms to take advantage of the highway frontage. The gardens have potential for self sufficiency with the many fruit trees (7 varieties of orange, 3 varieties of grapefruit, 2 varieties of tangelos, lemons and limes plus 4 varieties of mandarin), as well as quince, fig and plum to name a few. There is plenty of space for vegetable gardens with really fertile soil plus plenty of room for wandering chickens. All in all this is a wonderful and romantic property worthy of an inspection.
