Escape the hustle and bustle with this countryside retreat, ideal for those seeking peace and tranquility.
Formerly an historic coaching inn on the Central Victorian goldfields, Sheehans Eddington Hotel, reputed to have served the worst beer on the goldfields, has been a unique dwelling since the 1920s. Appearing in Australian film The Getting of Wisdom (1978) and TV versions of Henry Lawson stories, the home now includes 3 substantial bedrooms; a 4th single bedroom; spacious lounge/dining room (with fireplace and log burning combustion heater); a unique country kitchen with European stainless steel stove & hood; second living room or dining room; combination main bathroom/laundry; separate shower room; powder room and cellar. Original features include open fire places, sash & original pub servery windows, picture rails, some pressed metal, original Baltic timber floors and ceilings, French doors and trapdoors to the cellar. The original brick paving under the front verandah has been exposed and further brick and slate paved verandahs continue to the side and rear of the property. The home is set on over half an acre of tranquil and mature gardens with a huge old walnut tree and many varieties of fruits, nuts, shrubs, roses and spring bulbs. Shedding includes a huge country barn supported by entire tree trunks and sturdy beams, a brick and tin garage, plus the remains of some of the original stables. Satellite NBN is connected to the property and water is provided by a large underground well with pressure pump, water tank and a 2meg river water entitlement with 22,500lt storage tank and pressure pump for the garden. Located in the peaceful township of Eddington, only 20 minutes to Maldon, 30 minutes to Bendigo and 2 hours from Melbourne, this unique property offers an idyllic lifestyle opportunity with easy access to regional centres and the city.
