Opportunities like this are rarely available. Set on a substantial 1,517m² section and offering over 500m² of building space, this remarkable former Masonic Lodge presents endless possibilities for those seeking a unique home, Airbnb venture, creative business space, or work-from-home opportunity. The vendors are committed to their next move and are keen to see a result, making now the ideal time to secure this one-of-a-kind property.

Formerly the Masonic Lodge of Lumsden, the building retains original features and memorabilia, including symbolic detailing throughout, providing a fascinating glimpse into its storied past.

The former dining hall has been transformed into a character-filled living space with impressive artistic flair. Beneath the soaring ceiling, two intimate sleeping areas have been cleverly created within smaller "rooms within a room," while a spacious kitchen, bathroom with luxurious bath area, and separate laundry provide everyday comfort and practicality.

A standout feature is the expansive built-in library complete with rolling ladder, reflecting the creativity and craftsmanship found throughout the property. The living area is warmed by a wood burner, while large high-set doors open onto a private deck and garden, creating a welcoming indoor-outdoor flow.

At the heart of the building lies the original Lodge room, largely untouched and full of potential. Additional rooms with direct street access further enhance the property's flexibility, whether for accommodation, hobbies, business use, or future development ideas.

Outside, established grounds provide a private setting to relax, entertain, or enjoy fruit from the mature trees. Dual street access, a carport, and excellent storage, including a shipping container that remains with the property, add further practicality.

Located just a short walk to Lumsden's amenities and with world-class fly-fishing destinations nearby, the property has also proven itself as successful Airbnb accommodation in the past, receiving excellent feedback from guests.

The current owners have poured passion, creativity, and vision into transforming this historic building into a warm and functional home. With their next chapter already underway, they are highly motivated and ready to move, presenting a genuine opportunity for buyers looking to act decisively.

A property of this scale, character, and versatility is seldom found. Contact Mescha today to arrange your viewing.
