Historic Residence & Separate Shopfront on Highway 1
If these walls could talk, they would tell tales of bustling trade, warm welcomes, and artistic flair. Once a beloved general store and residence, this character-filled property has gracefully evolved over the years - serving as an art gallery, office space, and family home - all while preserving its distinctive charm and commanding street presence.
Now, it awaits its next chapter. Perfectly positioned along busy Highway 1, with over 3,500 vehicles passing by each day, this is a rare opportunity to live, work, or invest in one of the region's most recognisable and historically significant landmarks.
Originally known as "Hiawatha," a name symbolising peace and prosperity, the property continues to radiate a sense of warmth and welcome. Located directly opposite the iconic Lake Bumbunga and the famous Loch-Eel, it enjoys unmatched visibility and a steady flow of visitors throughout the year. The township is also serviced by a school bus to Balaklava schools, making it an ideal choice for families seeking to blend lifestyle and opportunity in a setting rich with history and charm.
