A rare opportunity to secure one of the Central West's most remarkable heritage properties.
Officially opened in 1876 and designed by the Mansfield Brothers, this magnificent Italianate landmark began life as the Commercial Banking Company of Sydney (CBC Bank) and served the Molong community for more than a century.
After standing vacant for over a decade, the current owners undertook a meticulous restoration, transforming the original bank and adjoining stables into a dramatic and character-filled residence that blends historic architecture with contemporary Australian living.
Elegant cast-iron lacework verandahs, arched windows, soaring ceilings and ornate cornices define the façade, while the interior reveals expansive living spaces, heritage fireplaces and extraordinary architectural presence rarely seen in regional Australia.
Positioned on approximately 2,023 sqm with dual street frontage and rear access, the property sits in the heart of Molong - only 25 minutes from the thriving regional city of Orange.
Molong is increasingly sought after for its boutique cafés, wineries, luxury accommodation and relaxed country lifestyle, making this property equally appealing as a private residence, hospitality venture or lifestyle investment.
