Character, Charm & History - A Rare Opportunity In Cape Clear
Tick every box on your wish list with this exceptional property, brimming with character and history. Set on 8,147m² (just over 2 acres) in the beautiful Cape Clear region, this unique holding offers not only a delightful residence but also the potential to create a Bed & Breakfast, event venue, studio, or gallery (STCA).
The former teacher's residence features three bedrooms and two living areas, making it ideal for owner-occupiers seeking a peaceful country lifestyle. Enjoy the benefits of 24 solar panels (the solar power system has a 4kw invertor and 4.4kw panels with the inclusion of a heat pump), two rainwater tanks, mains power, and NBN connectivity.
Adding to the property's appeal is the historic State School (No. 722), dating back to the early 1900s. The school building offers four rooms, including:
• A welcoming entrance hall
• A spacious main living area with an open fireplace and corner kitchen
• A second living room or main bedroom with a second fireplace
• A modern bathroom with combined laundry facilities
The school has been tastefully updated with stainless steel appliances, timber floors, and ample cabinetry for short stays, all while preserving the soaring ceilings and period charm of its original construction.
The grounds are mostly cleared, featuring a handful of established trees and shrubs-leaving little more than the lawn to maintain and plenty of views to enjoy.
Zoned Rural Living under the Golden Plains Shire, this property has no Heritage Overlay or National Trust restrictions. Conveniently located just 35 minutes southwest of Ballarat, between Cape Clear and Rokewood, and only 10 minutes to Smythesdale's amenities (supermarket, chemist, school, and general store). The Cape Clear Hotel and local school bus pick-up to Ballarat are also close by.
Both buildings are serviced by tank water and septic systems.
This is a truly rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying modern comfort and endless potential. Book your private inspection today and experience the magic of this historic beauty for yourself!
