Now listed as “Luckywood”, originally named Wirlinga Lot 10 Hawskview Road was built in 1968 by J Bohm & Sons. It was one of the original homes built by the weir in Albury’s first rural residential development. Briefly owned and lived in by Bohm, the property was purchased in 1970 by Tom & Olive Savage who cultivated and grew many varieties of camellias there. Varieties Wirlinga Belle, Wirlinga Bride, Wirlinga Gem, Wirlinga Cascade and Wirlinga princess and just a few of the cultivators produced by the Savages who were respected world wide for their knowledge and expertise in this field. The home was then purchased by Major Colin Bailey and Captain Lisa Ride, army officers posted to Bandiana. Moving in on November 1999, Colin a carpenter by trade and Lisa, jack of all trades, renovated the house over the next 10 years almost doubling it in size. This house will provide a lucky family with the opportunity to experience an amazing country lifestyle home. With extensive renovations completed by the current owner the hard work is done! This sturdy brick home simply needs a lick of paint throughout, so choose your colours and move in……
