337 High Street, Learmonth, VIC 3352

In the very heart of Learmonth, where the past still whispers through the streets, stands a property that tells the story of the town itself. Known to locals as Huckers Bakery, this iconic site first opened its doors in 1884, serving generations of the community before its ovens fell silent in 1990. In 2012, it was lovingly transformed into a beautiful family residence — rebuilt with care but with a deep respect for its past. Its façade still speaks of its heritage, while inside it offers all the warmth, character, and comfort of a modern country home. Step through the front door and you can feel the history and heart that have shaped this place. Three inviting bedrooms and two stylish bathrooms, including a luxurious ensuite with soaking bath and walk-in shower plus open fireplace, offer space to rest and recharge. The home’s warm ambience is enhanced by a spacious lounge with wood heater — perfect for gathering on cool evenings. The country-style kitchen, with its butler’s pantry and French doors opening onto the rear decking with views of the gardens, is made for slow mornings and long conversations over coffee. A flexible dining or study alcove adds to the home’s thoughtful design. At the rear, wide doors open to a generous deck that frames breathtaking views of Lake Learmonth with stunning sunsets. By day, it’s a peaceful place to pause and soak in the scenery. By night, it becomes a place for stargazing, storytelling, and the romance of evenings spent by the firepit. The lush, established gardens create a sense of privacy and calm, making the entire property feel like a sanctuary. Set on a generous 2,100m² allotment, the property also features a double carport and a large attached workshop, ideal for the handyman or hobbyist. Practical comforts are well-considered with solar panels, mains water, and split-system reverse-cycle air conditioning tokitchen, lounge and master and second bedroom. Currently operating as a much-loved weekender and Airbnb, this property is being sold with vacant possession. For those who wish to continue its story, furnishings are available by negotiation — offering a rare chance to step straight into a ready-made lifestyle or business opportunity. Learmonth itself is a thriving country community, with the 321 Café just metres away, the Stag Hotel, bowls club, skill shed, and football oval all within walking distance, and Miners Rest and its IGA supermarket only minutes away. With easy access to the Western Freeway, Ballarat is within comfortable reach, blending country living with city convenience. This is more than a home — it is a piece of Learmonth’s soul, carefully restored and waiting for its next custodian. For those seeking something truly unique, where history meets comfort and lifestyle, an inspection is a must to experience the warmth, charm, and inspiration this property offers.
