This historic building was built in 1862 and was first opened as the Royal Mail Hotel. Throughout the years the property has had a varied history, in 1912 the Hotel was sold and the billiard room was turned into a shoeing forge and the main bar into a hairdresser and shaving salon. Other uses included a blacksmiths, butcher, grocer and artist’s studio and more recently a private home. The current owners have worked hard to restore the building and have given the home a new lease on life. The former Hotel has now been transferred into a very functional and comfortable 4 Bedroom, 2 living and 2 bathroom home. The large kitchen and meals area has been updated with new cabinetry, oven and dishwasher but keeps the charm of yesteryear with a combustion stove. Centrally located the main living room/ library is the heart of the home and the place to unwind and relax in front of the open fire place. Great for families there is also a second living space. The main bathroom has shower, toilet and sink and also acts as the laundry. The second bathroom includes toilet, bath and pedestal basin. The former billiard room would make a great space for an artist’s studio, hobby room or even has the potential for commercial use. Totalling 2530m2 the large block backs onto the Wimmera River and includes winding paths through established gardens with fruit trees and olives, wood shed and undercover entertaining area which opens to the courtyard. Located in Glenorchy on the mighty Wimmera River this small farming community is close to Stawell, Horsham and the Grampians National Park, a major tourist destination. With its history and local significance the option of an Airbnb or Bed and Breakfast could also be a possibility. Property Code: 2816
