INSPECTION BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

Presenting for sale this historic Deans Marsh property - the former 'Halfway House', a rest stop and hotel for travellers by horse and cart on their way to the seaside village of Lorne - now converted to a beautiful and character filled four-bedroom home.

Located in the centre of town and situated on a generous land parcel of 2,959 square metres, you will be amazed at the privacy and peacefulness of this beautiful family property. The mature garden is complete with orchard, 100-year-old peppercorn tree, dam and an abundance of native bird life. The sunsets from the deck are to die for and the views of the surrounding farmland are quintessential of this quaint little town in the foothills of the Otway Hinterland.

No need to be worried about amenities with the general store next door, the primary school just 300 metres away and a community centre where you can enjoy weekly activities such as yoga, pilates, table tennis and Tai Chi, just to name a few. Or why not join the local cricket or tennis clubs? The school buses to Geelong, Lorne and Colac depart from just outside the gate, as does the bus to Lorne - five times a day during summer where you can be on the beach in just 20 minutes.

The house has undergone a complete transformation with a sparkling new kitchen, laundry and bathrooms. There are three bedrooms in the main house with a fourth bedroom in the enormous semi-detached studio. The master bedroom has an oversized ensuite with a luxurious bathtub and a private deck accessible by sliding doors.  The floors have been meticulously laid during the renovation with refurbished hardwood boards from the old hotel and the house is full of character and charm. The kitchen and dining area is a light filled space and extends into the study/home office, where you can really enjoy the views of the paddocks to the west.

Comfort is not a problem with a large wood fire to keep you warm in the cooler months and a reverse cycle air conditioner for summer. The outdoor deck is enormous and the timber pathways around the house are wide and beautiful. The garden is lush and well established, and the orchard is full of fruit. Two large water storage tanks provide water throughout the year, with substantial catchment from the new galvanised steel roof. There is off-street parking for multiple vehicles and trailers, with two private entrances from the Winchelsea-Deans Marsh Road.

There is little more to do in this immaculately presented family home. That said, the significant grounds could allow you to add further accommodation such as a stand-alone unit or tiny home(s), subject to Council approval.

It's time to own your slice of this iconic Otway Hinterland history!

Photo ID must be presented at all inspections.

Own A Slice Of History

The Store Deans Marsh is a much-loved gem on the Surf Coast and a major hub on the Otway Tourist Region. Up for sale is the freehold, land and residential cottage for this popular regional general store, along with the business as a going concern.

Sitting on a 2,203 m2 corner block in the heart of town, The Store has an enormous outdoor dining and family play area adjacent to The Store building, alongside extensive private gardens for The Cottage. It is fully fenced and landscaped and provides ample car parking for both residents and guests.

The Cottage has three double bedrooms and home office, with a fully renovated kitchen and new carpet throughout. Heating is a slow combustion wood fire, with reverse cycle air conditioning for the warmer months. There is a lovely northwest facing deck ideal for evening drinks or watching the family play cricket in the huge yard. Extensive perimeter planting ensures privacy from The Store and neighbours, creating a picture-perfect country home. The views from the windows are of extensive farmland and the Deans Marsh Creek and the only noises you will hear at night are the frogs and the occasional cow. 

The Cottage is currently hosted as a bed and breakfast and all guests have left outstanding 5 star reviews.

Included in the freehold is a large storage shed with barn doors that includes a fully lined, floored and heated office and gym space. The space is absolutely gorgeous and could easily be converted to a yoga studio or guest accommodation (STCA).

The current owners have invested substantially in improvements for the business including a new kitchen with state-of-the-art commercial equipment, an upgraded wastewater system, new fit out for front counter, fully refurbished outdoor bathroom area, extensive landscaping, internal and external paint, resurfaced carpark, commercial food production equipment and an on-premise liquor license. Also included in the sale of the business is a very attractive website, point of sale system and security system.

The Store has recently expanded its own range of preserves, sauces and meals and is in the process of developing a wholesale range for broader distribution. It also provides an extensive range of groceries, produce, fresh fruit and vegetables, giftware and a substantial café operation with a focus on home-made treats using locally sourced produce. The business currently operates 7-days a week with good annual turnover from local trade and excellent turnover during the peak summer tourist period. The outdoor area of The Store is the highlight for this business and is very popular with Lorne customers travelling to and from their holiday homes or on their way to do business and shopping in Colac. 

This is your opportunity to purchase a local icon and walk-in with little further investment required, other than your own ideas to take this business to the next level.

Please note the price quoted is for freehold, land and buildings. The going concern business, chattels and inventory will be quoted separately upon signing of a non-disclosure agreement. Please contact us for more details.
