Own a piece of Bunyip history

Here is an opportunity to own ‘Ballantrae’ a piece of Bunyip’s history.

Situated on the fringe of the township and offering expansive views over rural holdings, this more than eight-hectare (20-acre) property is full of potential.
The heritage-listed home was originally built for local icon Major Beckett.
The Victorian era timber Federation bungalow was the centre of Bunyip society, hosting garden parties, church fetes and scout camps.
The gardens are still delightful and feature formal gardens, meandering walkways, mature trees and shrubs, magnificent garden beds, various flowering plants, private-sitting areas and arbors.
The property is set back from the road and surrounded by hedges to the fence-line assuring a secluded garden setting, allowing the owners the opportunity to enjoy their home in complete privacy.
Blue-chip location, botanic splendour, tons of potential, sensational views, sundry shedding, three-phase power, river frontage are only some of the selling points.
‘Ballantrae’ is for sale now or at auction, on site at 190 A’Beckett Road, Bunyip, on 26 November at 1pm.
Inspections are strictly by appointment and can be arranged by contacting Stephen O’Loughlin of Gerard Collins (Real Estate) Pty Ltd, 119 Main Street, Pakenham on 5941 1255 or mobile 0408 591 170.
