Farmlet
$710,000
Welcome to "Bassawonga". This charming slice of South Gippsland history, set on approx. 5 acres, is nestled in the rural community of Poowong and was the first weatherboard house erected in the Poowong district in 1882.
In the 1960's the property fell into disrepair, but was Purchased in 1975 and lovingly restored for 3 years until moving in permanently in 1978, by that same family until now.
The front of the house is still original, possessing timeless character which remains true to its historical roots with 14' original pressed metal ceilings, fireplaces, verandah and beautiful gardens.
With four bedrooms peeling off the lengthy hallway, the heart of the home is the spacious lounge room, with open fire place and magnificent views from the large window looking across the rolling hills of Poowong.
The rear of the home is a second family/dining area just off the kitchen with solid fuel heating and reverse cycle heating and air conditioning, and a well-appointed bathroom, separate shower room and large laundry. The rear sunroom offers a place to relax and take in the views.
Further restoration and cosmetic changes will undoubtedly still await the new owner. But, if you can picture cosy evenings by the fire in either the inviting lounge or the master bedroom and have a vision of what could be then this could be the ultimate find for those who love their history.
The property also includes a 6m x 9m lock up shed, single garage/carport, water tanks and further car spaces, providing ample room for your vehicles and outdoor equipment.
Set on a serene rural landscape, this farmlet is perfect for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle while still being close to local amenities with Poowong township only minutes away. Experience the charm and history of "Bassawonga" and make it your own today!
