Step outside into the courtyard constructed from Eden ironbark, complete with a wood-fired brick oven, crafted by a third-generation local artisan.

Sitting on a huge double block with a clear, unencumbered right to subdivide and create an additional lot (subject to council approval), this property offers an exceptional opportunity. It has been used as a seasonal family holiday home since its restoration and has never been rented to others. Don't mistake it for a shack or a property requiring attention; it has been restored and rebuilt to the highest building standards.
As an example of the restoration care and detail, each existing external hardwood lining board was carefully removed, labelled, and re-fitted with hot-dipped galvanised nails. This preservation-focused approach ensures that even the heads of the existing hand-forged iron nails can still be seen in the original ironbark weatherboards.
This early settler's cottage is a true testament to the beauty of historical preservation and modern living harmoniously coexisting. Sit on the front porch and ponder the life of a bygone era, own a piece of Milton's history.
