Offered for the very first time, the historic Hazelwood North homestead "Walnut Park" represents a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure an irreplaceable piece of Gippsland's heritage. Built in the 1930s and lovingly held by the same family for almost a century, this iconic residence stands as a testament to a bygone era of craftsmanship and country living. Set on approximately 2.86 hectares (7.06 acres) in the heart of Hazelwood North, a sweeping driveway creates a grand sense of arrival, while expansive views across the Jeeralang Ranges frame this remarkable rural retreat. Rich in character and history, the home has been thoughtfully restored to honour its authentic Californian Bungalow architecture. High ceilings, original Arts and Crafts detailing, and beautiful period elements capture the charm and elegance of the era. At the heart of the home, a warm and welcoming country kitchen and living area form the hub of daily life, while a separate wood-fired library and formal dining room provide inviting spaces steeped in atmosphere and tradition. With both wood and gas log fires, together with split-system heating and cooling, comfort in every season is ensured. The generous floorplan offers both flexibility and timeless appeal. Downstairs features two spacious bedrooms with lovely garden outlooks and a well-appointed central bathroom. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide space for family, guests, or ideal study and home-office options. Outside, a wide, sunlit north-facing veranda frames undulating rural views that change beautifully with the seasons. With established gardens, magnificent mature trees, fruit orchards and olive trees, the property creates a peaceful sanctuary alive with birdlife. Original shearers' quarters offer exciting potential for restoration or guest accommodation, while a substantial shed, workshop or studio, and separate two-car garage provide excellent utility. With the tennis courts and primary school only a short walk away, "Walnut Park" is a rare opportunity to secure not just a home, but a treasured piece of Latrobe Valley history.
