Built from handmade bricks in 1904 by the Natte Yallock community, acquired and enjoyed by composer/poet Joe Dolce and artist/writer Lin van Hek for the last 25 years key features are the space, calm and colours of the area – one of the delights being surrounding paddocks ablaze with yellow of the canola crop (plus the backdrop of the Pyrenees Ranges). The church (east/west orientation) has retained original features – including 13 leadlight windows, timber floors, pulpit – and the interior is still a canvas for any style. The main area (nave) soars to a pitched, timber-lined ceiling (galvanised iron roof) and could accommodate 6 or more for sleeping. Currently, spring sunshine streaming through the high windows adds extra light during the day and the height offers the possibility of a mezzanine floor for additional bedrooms (STCA). At the rear, the ambiance changes and there is a most delightful small living area with kitchen plus bathroom: claw-foot bath with hand-shower taps and fittings, basin, plus electric hot water tank (more than a hint of Provence) the toilet is adjacent. Services include mains power: a 45,000 litre (10,000 gall tank) provides for kitchen and bathroom and there is a septic tank. The property is zoned Farming (FZ)
Basically unchanged (apart from the rear addition) this property offers further potential. Natte Yallock is approx 17km from Avoca with its amenities, approx 20km from Moonambel wineries and vineyards. All to enjoy. NOTE PRICE REDUCTION Please contact agent for inspection details.
