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.
