Fallow's Rest

Classic country homesteads of this era rarely come onto the Western District market - and to find a property preserved as if time stood still is even more exciting for prospective buyers.

You could imagine the circa 1907 home in the middle of the outback, but instead this rural gem is only a 15-minute drive to shops and cafes, and less than two and a half hours to Melbourne.

The four-bedroom home is on a eight-acre hobby farm with two distinctive paddocks and uninterrupted views across iconic volcanic plains, a huge five-bay farm shed with power, concrete and water connected.

Stunning fireplaces add character to almost every room of the grand homestead, along with high, ornate ceilings, hardwood floors and many other original features throughout.

The kitchen also provides access to the timber-lined attic which could be a fourth bedroom, office or studio.

Appreciate the return wrap around veranda that perfectly frames the property, creating the ideal spot to unwind whilst admiring the abundance of natural wildlife.

The heritage brick and render house, which has been rewired and has both tank water and drinking-quality bore water supply. The house yard has been fenced separately with electric gates at the entrance of the yard from the driveway.

This unique Pomborneit property has plenty of potential to evolve with its new owner or just continue to age gracefully for decades to come.
