'Elouera' Circa. 1870

Welcome to 'Elouera', a peaceful rural lifestyle on the banks of the Goulburn River. As you meander up the tree-lined drive a beautiful historical homestead awaits. Originally constructed around 1876, the property was purchased and extended by the Nicholas Family in 1919 and has been passed down through the generations. A rare offering of Australian history from the 19th Century.

• The Homestead:
The charm of yesteryear surrounds you as you step into the wide entry hall. Wonderful high ceilings, leadlight windows and picture rails are just a few of the original period features. There are two large informal and formal living areas, each with a split system and open fire-place. They both open out to the glorious wide verandahs. A tranquil place to relax and enjoy the beautiful rural vistas.
The country kitchen complete with split system and modern appliances has plenty of storage and bench space for the aspiring chef of the house. There are 4 King sized bedrooms each with an open fire- place and a spacious central family bathroom. The immaculate house garden has some impressive trees and there is an adjoining orchard with apple, pear, nectarine, cherry and peach tree varieties.

• Outbuildings and Improvements:
A huge shearing shed (nearly 30 metre long) was constructed around 1945 as the family farming business expanded. This is in superb working condition with 4 stands, historic wool press and power, offering plenty of additional storage space and a great place for family gatherings. A fully enclosed lock-up color bond shed with concrete floor is an ideal workshop and storage space for the farm equipment. There is also a single lock up garage adjacent to homestead and smaller garden/tool shed.
'Elouera' offers a abundant water supply with a water bore plumbed to a header tank and 2mgl stock and domestic water right plus water shares from the Goulburn River.

• The Land:
13.35 Hectares 33 acres of rich alluvial clean pastures that has been well maintained and currently grazes breeding cattle. The land is fenced into 3 paddocks with connecting laneway for ease of moving stock. Great set of solid cattle yards with crush.

• The Goulburn River:
'Elouera' has nearly 1km frontage to the Goulburn river. There is a lovely grassy beach area, perfect for family picnics, trout fishing and summer recreational activities.

• Location:
Moments from Thornton township, plus a short commute to Alexandra and Eildon with Lake Mountain, Lake Eildon and Mount Buller in easy reach, take full advantage of hiking, horse riding, mountain biking, water sports and snow skiing. Under 2 hrs from Melbourne this property is the perfect country weekend retreat or permanent rural lifestyle living.

With its rich cattle grazing history, stunning architecture, and breathtaking surroundings, 'Elouera' is one of the most impressive properties to be offered to the market in over 100 years.
