Step into a living piece of Australian heritage with this monumental estate comprising two former courthouses and police quarters, dating back to the late 1800s. Spanning a massive 2,156m2 parcel of land, this is more than just a home, it's a versatile investment offering a luxurious private residence coupled with a fully licensed restaurant. Whether you're seeking a unique family compound or a business venture with built-in accommodation, this property offers a seamless fusion of 19th-century architecture and modern sustainability. The primary dwelling has been meticulously converted into a three-bedroom sanctuary that respects its origins. Grandeur is evident in every room, from the soaring high ceilings and intricate leadlight windows to the elaborate timberwork. Expansive lounge and rumpus areas provide ample room for relaxation, while the home is warmed by eight open fireplaces, six of these are the original marble. The home utilizes an original venting system for natural cooling and includes solar panels to ensure energy efficiency and lower utility costs. Those with restaurateur ambitions will appreciate the established infrastructure already in place, currently licensed to host 50 patrons. The atmosphere is defined by a colossal open fireplace faced with original sandstock bricks, creating an unforgettable dining backdrop. The current liquor licence is included in the sale, allowing for immediate business continuity and the expansive grounds, featuring original stables and a picturesque rotunda, make this an enviable location for weddings, private functions, and garden parties. All this rounded out by 10 parking spaces for restaurant guests. Few properties can claim such fascinating historical provenance. The kitchen is a marvel of adaptive reuse with two of the former jail cells transformed into a fully equipped commercial culinary space. A cavernous basement cellar offers significant storage solutions or the potential to be renovated into self-contained living quarters for staff or extended family. Despite its tranquil setting and lush, landscaped gardens, this estate is perfectly positioned for connectivity.
