There’s something special here with this beautifully renovated circa 1900 former St Andrews Anglican Church located just a short stroll to the centre of the wonderful rural township of Thoona located at the bottom of the Warby Ranges and just a short drive to both Benalla and Wangaratta. Features of the beautiful five bedroom property, which is being offered on a walk in walk out basis with all of the furniture, include many of the original features such as polished timber floor boards, leadlight windows, high cedar cathedral beams and all timber windows. There’s also a first floor master bedroom with it’s own updated ensuite containing a claw foot cast iron bath and double French doors leading to a private balcony, an updated kitchen with electric cooking, dishwasher & original wood stove and a formal lounge / dining room with a gas log fire place, reverse cycle air conditioner a combustion wood heater and a 16 panel solar system. Additionally there’s also second residence known as ‘Swallows Croft’ which provides accommodation for another six people and an old timber shack called ‘Rileys’ which needs to be seen to be believed with it’s own open fire place and outside drop toilet. Also outside on the 1.75 ha block there’s an extra large double brick garage, inground salt chlorinated swimming pool, fish pond, lots of paved shady areas to sit and low maintenance established gardens with lots of trees and natural features as well as 1 meg of stock and domestic water and a watering system. With it’s close proximity to Winton Racetrack this property is presently being operated as a B & B and generates a significant yearly return with accommodation for up to 17 people. This is a very rare opportunity to secure a brilliant place to call home or a terrific long term investment. Ring now before it’s gone.
