Rarely can it be claimed that the sale of a property is a genuine once in a generational opportunity, but this can be said of the approaching sale of Junction Lodge. Originally on some 4000 acres this multifaceted property was built in 1853 by Henry Chalk pastoralist and gold-mining entrepreneur (remnants of the profitable Chalk’s No. 1 gold mine remain on the property today) and has been fastidiously maintained successfully retaining all its original features. The historic bluestone Georgian homestead accommodates 4 upstairs bedrooms with the lower level offering, drawing room, spacious lounge and dining areas kitchen and there are bathrooms on both levels. Steeped in history below the kitchen there is an expansive two roomed cellar with open fire places, bar and wine store.
