Description

Positioned in the heart of the charming Otway township of Gellibrand, this unique and historically significant property presents an exciting opportunity for renovators, history enthusiasts, investors, or anyone seeking a project with genuine character.

Originally constructed circa 1911 as the Railway Stationmaster's House, this weatherboard residence is a rare piece of local history, dating back to the era of the former narrow-gauge railway that played a vital role in the development of the district. Gellibrand itself grew around the railway and timber industry, with the original railway station operating from 1902 until the line closed in 1962.

Set on an approx. 831m² allotment, the home offers three bedrooms, separate kitchen, lounge and retains the charm of a bygone era. Also located on the property is the original Stationmaster's Office, now providing valuable storage space and adding further historical appeal.

While the home requires significant renovation and restoration, the fundamentals are here for those with vision. The exceptional central location places you directly across the road from the local general store and only a short stroll to the popular Gellibrand Tavern for a meal and a catch-up with friends.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Otways, Gellibrand is renowned for its peaceful country lifestyle, close-knit community, access to the Old Beechy Rail Trail, the nearby Gellibrand River, and its proximity to the stunning forests, waterfalls and walking tracks of the Otway region.

Opportunities to secure a genuine piece of local history are becoming increasingly rare. With its prominent location, fascinating past, and unlimited potential, 13 Main Road, Gellibrand is ready for its next chapter.

Bring your imagination, roll up your sleeves, and restore this remarkable property to its former glory.
