2 Douglas Ln Illowa VIC 3282 Australia
$570,000 – $610,000
A property with a story, space to breathe and plenty of possibilities for what comes next.
Set on approximately 2.5 acres in the tightly held Illowa district, this unique property combines an original 3 bedroom home, excellent shedding, a separate paddock and a location that puts Warrnambool, Koroit and Port Fairy all within easy reach.
Once operating as a local pub, the original home provides a fascinating link to Illowa’s past. Today, it offers three bedrooms and one bathroom and presents an exciting opportunity for someone prepared to embrace its character and re imagine the property for the future.
But perhaps the biggest attraction here is the land.
Approximately 2.5 acres gives you enough room to genuinely do something, without the maintenance and commitment of a large rural holding. There is excellent shedding with space for approximately six vehicles, a separate paddock and plenty of usable ground surrounding the home.
For the imaginative buyer, there are plenty of directions the property could take. Restore the original residence and create a character filled country home. Establish extensive vegetable gardens, an orchard or small market garden. Keep some animals, make use of the shedding for cars, machinery or hobbies, or investigate whether the property could accommodate another dwelling while retaining the original building for another purpose, all subject to council approval.
With its history and rural setting, you could even imagine the original building one day becoming a small produce shop, studio, workshop or home based venture, subject to the relevant approvals.
Illowa has long been associated with agriculture, with the district historically supporting dairying and crops including potatoes and onions. That productive history makes the idea of returning part of this holding to gardens, produce or a small market garden feel particularly at home here.
And while the setting has a distinctly rural feel, you don’t have to give up convenience to enjoy it. Warrnambool is only a short drive away, while Koroit, Tower Hill and Port Fairy are also within easy reach.
There is history here, but the real opportunity is deciding what happens next.
Restore it. Grow something. Build something. Create something. Or simply enjoy having 2.5 acres of your own in one of the district’s most convenient rural locations.
