Built in the 1880s, this property’s heritage will impress the most discerning buyers. Once home to James Scobie, four times Melbourne Cup winning trainer and VRC Hall of Fame inductee, the house is set on just over an acre of beautifully established and private gardens.

The incredible central living has a vaulted ceiling, clerestory windows and doors that lead out onto picturesque gardens. Entertainers will enjoy the lovingly crafted cedar and marble kitchen with Miele dishwasher, Gaggenau oven, cooktop and rangehood.

The soaring 4.87 metre ceilings, beautiful Baltic floorboards, wool carpets, ornate plasterwork and styling is sympathetic to the property’s original character. With its open fireplace the formal sitting room is gracious and welcoming, while the billiard room is a great recreational space.

The master suite has a tastefully finished ensuite and opens onto its own paved patio, with garden vistas. Guest quarters or a second bedroom are equally as spacious. Upstairs, two more bedrooms share a central bathroom. The zoned central heating and security system bring comfort and peace of mind all year round.

With approximately 80 square metres of verandah space, there is plenty of room for outdoor entertaining during the warmer months. There’s also double garaging and a two-room cellar that provides plenty of room for an impressive wine collection. 

This home is the perfect commuter’s property or family home for those that want a rural lifestyle within minutes of Ballarat’s CBD.
