Set​ ​on​ ​a​ ​manageable​ ​955m2​ ​parcel​ ​in​ ​peaceful​ ​Booyong,​ ​with​ ​the​ ​feel​ ​of​ ​a​ ​private​ ​rural​ ​retreat,​ ​this​ ​two-bedroom​ ​home​ ​is​ ​steeped​ ​in​ ​more​ ​than​ ​140​ ​years​ ​of​ ​local​ ​history.​ ​Built​ ​around​ ​1884,​ ​the​ ​home​ ​was​ ​originally​ ​the​ ​local​ ​Station​ ​Master's​ ​residence​ ​and​ ​was​ ​relocated​ ​to​ ​its​ ​current​ ​site​ ​in​ ​1916,​ ​reportedly​ ​moved​ ​by​ ​horses​ ​with​ ​the​ ​help​ ​of​ ​the​ ​local​ ​community.

Wrap-around​ ​hardwood​ ​verandas​ ​are​ ​made​ ​for​ ​slow​ ​mornings,​ ​while​ ​underneath​ ​there's​ ​ample​ ​storage​ ​for​ ​vehicles,​ ​tools​ ​and​ ​equipment.​ ​A​ ​separate​ ​studio​ ​with​ ​its​ ​own​ ​bathroom​ ​adds​ ​real​ ​flexibility,​ ​whether​ ​as​ ​a​ ​home​ ​office,​ ​creative​ ​retreat​ ​or​ ​guest​ ​accommodation.​ ​Outside,​ ​the​ ​fully​ ​fenced​ ​grounds​ ​are​ ​a​ ​gardener's​ ​paradise,​ ​centred​ ​around​ ​a​ ​stunning​ ​owner-built​ ​natural​ ​filtered​ ​pond​ ​that​ ​transforms​ ​every​ ​summer​ ​into​ ​a​ ​private​ ​escape.
