Opportunities like this seldom come to market. Set on a substantial 1,517m² section and offering over 500m² of building space, this remarkable former Masonic Lodge presents a truly unique opportunity for buyers seeking a distinctive home, an inspiring work from home base, creative studio space, Airbnb accommodation, or a property with exceptional potential. With the vendors committed to their next move, they are highly motivated to achieve a result, making now the perfect time to secure this one-of-a-kind property.
Rich in history and character, the building retains many original features and fascinating memorabilia from its days as the Masonic Lodge. Symbolic detailing throughout provides a captivating glimpse into the property's storied past while creating an atmosphere unlike any other.
The former dining hall has been thoughtfully transformed into a warm and welcoming living space filled with artistic flair. Beneath the impressive high ceilings, two cleverly designed sleeping areas have been created within the larger space, offering cosy comfort while maintaining the openness of the room. The spacious kitchen, bathroom and additional luxurious bath area, plus separate spacious laundry ensure practical day-to-day living.
One of the home's most impressive features is the extensive built-in library, complete with a rolling ladder, showcasing the creativity and craftsmanship that defines the property. A wood burner provides warmth and ambience, while large glass doors open onto a private deck and garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
At the heart of the building lies the original Lodge room, a vast space largely untouched and brimming with potential. This is an ideal space to work from home, whether you operate an online business requiring packing and storage space, wish to display your art and antique collection, create a workshop or studio, or establish the ultimate hobbies for sewing, woodwork or games room complete with pool table, darts, table tennis, or perhaps even a badminton net, the scale and height of this remarkable room offer limitless possibilities. An additional room with separate access directly off the street further enhance the flexibility of the property.
Outside, established grounds create a private and peaceful setting to relax and entertain. Mature fruit trees, dual street access, a carport, and excellent storage options, including a shipping container that remains with the property, add further practicality and value.
Conveniently located within walking distance of Lumsden's amenities and close to renowned fly-fishing rivers, the property has previously operated as successful Airbnb accommodation and received excellent guest reviews.
The current owners have invested significant passion, imagination, and vision into transforming this historic building into a comfortable and functional home.
