Here is a chance to secure the home in Benambra fondly known and remembered as Lakeside Lodge being the long-time residence of the legendary Alpine Aviation pilot and Councilor Ben Buckley.
If you want to get closer to the clouds and the fresh air in the alpine region of East Gippsland and leave the hustle and bustle of the busy urban sprawl behind and settle into some country charm, then this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for. Located at 31 Young Street in the township of Benambra, nestled in the East Gippsland high country farming communities, this traditional style home is affordable for either permanent occupancy, or a holiday base camp.
The home is set on *2140 sqm of land and consists of three bedrooms with an external bungalow-studio or secondary living area detached but undercover access through the carport. Inside the home it has an original style kitchen with combustion stove, electric oven with a gas cooktop, dining and living area boasting an inbuilt wood heater and has a separate bathroom with bath and toilet, and an outside laundry with shower. Power is connected, and rainwater is collected by tank. Walking distance into the center of town, and adjacent to the top end of Lake Omeo Lake makes this a great location for all ages.
