The Faraday Schoolhouse - Circa 1869, is full of character, charm and history, and it's on the market with agent RT Edgar (Macedon Woodend).
Constructed of local Harcourt granite, it is set on an allotment of over two acres of old world gardens and ancient eucalypts.
The property features the original school building, beautifully renovated to combine kitchen, dining and living and a second granite stone building, plus a self-contained cottage. Think B&B, even a cafe (STCA).
On your rambles you will find a creek fed by waters from Mt Alexander and the panoramic blue haze of those granite hills.
The agent, RT Edgar's Matthew Bourke, says the property has unlimited potential, as it is located just over an hour from Melbourne and not far from Kyneton, Castlemaine and Bendigo. You're in the heart of the goldfields here.
Strong demand:
With strong enquiries from city investors, Ray White's Brian Lawry says there is a lot of confidence in the town. "Over half our enquiries are from out-of-towners. The demand is strong and we're selling everything we can list at the moment."
There's sure to be hot interest in a Ray White auction coming up. Mr Lawry says the 197 McCrae Street address is sure to create hot demand because it has that 'inner city' location.
"It's a period style home, and the first time to market in the past 35 years, so we're expecting big things on May 17," Brian added.
Best Wishes:
Out at Eaglehawk Select Property Jessie Crozier has joined the team on the front desk, a choice of work and life balance did it for Jess.
And the Select team is getting ready to roll out the red carpet for administration assistant Jenny Harvey. Jenny is returning for two to three days a week to keep them all in order.
Winners:
The PRD team are celebrating their recent Bronze Sales Award win at the national PRD conference held at Sanctuary Cove.
Closer to home, Tom Isaacs says the local buyer enquiries are strong and he expects this to continue over the Easter break.
"We find people take their time and have a leisurely browse at homes they are interested in. Others thinking of selling make good use of the long weekend to carry out any renovations to ready their home for the market," Tom says.
Farm land:
The folk at Ruralco say it has been a wonderful start to the growing season with good rains of two to three inches falling in the district.
"If it rains before Easter it's fantastic for the rural properties. Fat lambs are fetching over $200 and mutton $138, so our farmers are very happy," Alistair Kemp commented.
He says large acreage is hard to find at the moment with the larger concerns getting bigger and the smaller guys having already departed.
