Property for Sale in Balmoral, Vic 3407

Balmoral Manse c.1861

Stepping through the front gate at 53 Coleraine Road is like stepping back in time. Nestled among majestic Redgums lies "The Manse", built in 1861 from locally sourced Ironstone. Originally built as the residence for the Presbyterian church, it has been retained as a well-loved private residence for many decades, extended and renovated to accommodate the modern day's family needs. Situated on 12 acres across 5 titles, the property backs on to Mathers Creek as it winds its way throughout the historic township.

With a flexible floorplan, the home offers two, three or four bedrooms, all serviced by a beautifully restored central bathroom and separate powder room. The kitchen, also renovated to compliment the period of the home with redgum and jarrah cabinetry, is bright and functional, opening onto a spacious dining room. The Falcon freestanding stove provides a gas cooktop and electric oven, and washing up is made easy with a separate HWS just for the kitchen.

The adjoining lounge is an inviting space, with Grampian sandstone flooring, exposed stone walls, and basked in natural light. The Alderlea cast iron wood heater adds to the ambiance and comfort. Heating options are aplenty with another two wood heaters, as well as four functioning open fireplaces throughout the home.

The magic continues outside. The home is surrounded by established gardens filled with native and traditional cottage plants. There is a huge double garage with a mezzanine floor to accommodate all your outside storage needs. Further afield, the property is divided into 8 paddocks, all with excellent fencing and shade. Currently used for goats, the property would also be well suited to horses, sheep or alpacas. Completing the picture is an orchard with apple, pear, plum and fig trees, and a vineyard filled with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. There's even a cellar to store all the wine. Connection to town water and 10,000 gallons of tank water will ensure that water is always on hand.

The township of Balmoral boasts an active community, with a successful Football/Netball club, Lawn Bowls club, Historical Society, Angling Club, and numerous other clubs nearby, not to mention Rocklands Reservoir on the doorstep. For all your family's needs, there is also a K-12 school, Early Learning Centre, Pub, Post Office, Supermarket, Cafe/Takeaway shop, Rural Supply Store, Mechanic, Church, Op Shop, and Bush Nursing Centre.

The Manse offers the complete package - a stunning home of historical significance within the community, enough space for a horse or two, or to offer accommodation options (STCA). Don't miss this chance, book your inspection today.
