We are told the Listner family who emigrated from Germany in the early 1950s purchased the home with its large land holding and proceeded to extend the then small mixed farm by the addition of a kitchen, dining room, attached workshop/shed, two more bedrooms, bathroom, indoor toilet and laundry.
The workshop was originally used by Mrs.Listner as a home bakery where she baked German style bread and cakes for her small shop on Springbank Road the first shop opened on the road. While extensions were being completed the family subdivided some of the land - which is now Cole Street - but kept a strip of land to grow mushrooms commercially.
Since that time the present owner has made significant improvements which include:
*New roofs (northern and eastern extensions)
*1.4kw solar system
*54,000L rainwater plumbed to the entire house
*Reticulated water to the back of the long land extension
*Retro light fittings
*New kitchen (15mths old) and appliances
*Numerous trees planted.
This is a truly rare opportunity to purchase a property with so much history that offers so many improvements on a very large allotment. A lot of interest is expected and this property will be sold prior to or at Auction on Saturday 30th August 2014 @ 11am.
