A rare offering indeed - situated in the township of Waubra, just 20 minutes from Ballarat, is the opportunity to purchase the Old Waubra School No. 859 and the adjacent School Masters residence. (Facebook; Old Waubra - Springs School No 859)

The school, built with solid granite foundations Circa 1869, is described as a Victorian Primitive Gothic style with two porches, custom stained glass windows and triple cavity red brick walls. This beautiful building (approximately 13x6m or 8.40 squares) has been partially renovated and provides an opportunity for various creative openings.

The school masters' residence was built in 1872, which has been extensively renovated over time, with decorated timber floors. Included is a charming henhouse on the kitchen floor and an extensively paved floor in the rear sun room. Stunning features are dotted throughout this sunny relaxed residence with 3 bedrooms, updated family bathroom and kitchen, large dining room and a living room.
Town water & sewerage services to the property, with a double lock up garage & a separate workshop of 9m by 7m with concrete floor & power complete the improvements. Park-like gardens with lots of fruit and nut trees, berries and a vegetable garden. Three water tanks (2x 10,000L, 1x 15,000) town water and a well, contributing additional water supply for those avid gardeners. A poultry shed depicting a miners cottage completes the garden picture.
Set on approx. 2400m2 or 1/2 acre, with fertile soil, this North-facing home has been recently replastered and rewired and is well insulated with 5.18 kW solar on the roof.
