The Feel:
Held and loved for over 35 years, this is a home unlike anything else in Barwon Heads - rich in character, craftsmanship and story. Built as a builder’s own residence, it showcases a remarkable blend of stone and timber, with Anglesea shale feature walls, soaring 9m cathedral ceilings and reclaimed Oregon beams from the old Geelong Woolstores. Warm, tactile and deeply atmospheric, the interiors invite connection and comfort, with two wood fires, Baltic timber lining boards and dado walls throughout. A mezzanine retreat overlooks the living domain, offering a unique space for recreation or quiet escape. Set in a quiet river-end court on a lush, tree-filled allotment alive with birdlife, this is a rare opportunity to honour the past while imagining the future - a home to be cherished by its next custodian.

Owner Loves...
“This home has been the heart of our family for over 35 years - from nights by the fire to endless games of pool upstairs on the mezzanine. It’s warm, full of character, and completely one of a kind. We’ve always loved that no other home feels quite like this one.”
