Situated amongst traditional gardens, Traquair House sits on the first titled allotments granted in Linton in 1860. Purchased by the bank of New South Wales it became the landmark building that continues to put Linton on the Map today. At is’s peak during the late 1800′s, by 1905 the banks needs had changed and the property was converted to a private residence. Traquair House has been beautifully updated to include all the modern day luxuries yet still retains all the charm and period features famous of the era. Triple brick construction on blue stone footings, the home features cast iron fireplaces, the original servants bell system with copper wiring connecting the front door, dining room and parlour. The original bank offices, located at the front of the home have been beautifully converted to a luxurious master bedroom and includes an ensuite and walk in robe. With a total of either 4 or 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, this home is ideal for a regional retreat / holiday home, bed & breakfast or lifestyle property that is only a short drive to Ballarat and within reach of Melbourne for those who wish to commute.
