Nestled at the foot of landmark Mt Elephant you will find the homestead known as ‘The Old School House’ which offers a superb country lifestyle.
Built in the 1900s the District School rooms once educated up to 43 pupils as well as housing the schoolmaster and his family. The building became a private residence in 1929 and further improvements were added during the 1950s. The current owners have maintained and updated the original character, making the magnificent residence the warm and inviting home it is today. A spacious living room with lofted ceilings, the former school room, is heated by a generous wood burner creating a homely atmosphere. Additional heating is supplied via the 3 functioning closed wood fires and a number of radiators. Water is gravity fed and supplied year round via the properties own fresh water spring. Any chef would be proud of the spacious country kitchen which features quality timber bench tops and Rayburn wood cooker. Alternatively there is also a gas oven/cook top for a modern approach. All three bedrooms are of generous size, the main bedroom has exceptional views of the leafy property.
The grounds surrounding the homestead are fenced to enclose a charming landscaped garden; multitude of fruit trees, outside toilet, large shed and plenty of grassed area to entertain or relax and take in the mountain air and outstanding views. With an annual rainfall of 1200mm the property has never run short of water and has a large dam to store it.
