Sweet retreat on the banks of the Chum
Step back in time on the banks of Chum Creek, to this oasis of peace.
In 1859, traces of gold were discovered in the creek and a settlement established, named for the "new chums" that arrived in the area seeking their fortune. As time passed, logging and farming became the main sources of income for the area, of which, Healesville settlement, just five minutes up the road, became the main village, Healesville has continued to evolve into the thriving town we know today but you can still find the occasional slice of pioneer life in the hills and valleys that surround if you wait patiently. This wonderful bush retreat will delight family and chums, as a possible weekender or restoration project!
With no definitive date of construction, the main cottage is suggested to have been built around the time of the Great Depression, with a later masonry block main room additions dating to the 70's or early 80's. The structure is perhaps a simple peculiarity; perhaps and intriguing renovator or may simply a roofline to be capitalised on as part of a grander scheme.
Of course, the home is only a small part, or even negligible portion of the value equation; the stunning bush lot on the side of the Chum Creek being a unique opportunity that offers great value for those that recognize the intrinsic value of creek side Australian Bush living. Perhaps the creek may be hiding some treasure...
The current Vendors have gone the extra mile over their stewardship of this homesite to ensure that the natural environment has not only been protected but flourished. It all sits only a 100 mtrs from the Chum Creek Road (Healesville-Kinglake Rd) that ensure quick transit to Healesville's centre and all of the best the Yarra Valley has to offer is easily accessible beyond.
